After you've been reading all the conversations about lack of socialization, autism, sociopathy, etc., in the Sherlock forums, Lilo and Stitch becomes a very different movie.
um.... I guess I just always assumed (that everyone knew) that she was on the asperger's spectrum. I had a similar conversation with an acquaintance who I was dining out with: she was very uncomfortable about another patron of the restaurant who was behaving "inappropriately" and wanted his family to take him away or "do something!" and was about to approach the host, when I said it looked to me as though he had an autism spectrum disorder. She was stunned. Someone in her family had been diagnosed similarly and she didn't understand that this was what happened. So I talked about what little I know, and said things like, "well, it's like breast feeding, you don't stare and let them just have their (probably infrequent) time out to enjoy"
