Donnie is portrayed as having schizophrenia. (therapy? His therapist telling his parents that he's a paranoid schizophrenic) I don't think Donnie constantly looks angry or pained just sort of blank at times. His father tells him during the movie that he used to be crazy and schizophrenia is genetic. Donnie burns down houses and sees things I don't think those are symptoms of Aspergers syndrome, but it's your interpretation whatever makes you feel better about yourself. Fortunately, schizophrenia is NOT always genetic. There are also environmental causes that contribute as well. It's something an individual is born with and it will either develop over time until it is full-blown, or sometimes people will have it triggered in them like those who have schizophrenia triggered by cannabis or a severely traumatic event. I thought I might put this out in the open for anyone that might be concerned that it is only genetic.

My friend's younger brother has Aspergers. He does seem to have social difficulties, because he's not too kind with strangers and the like, but before I learned he had it I would never had guessed that there was anything wrong with him. Seems to be a pretty average kid.

There are so many things that can be wrong with people that are out of their control...it's hard to know when to stand up for what is right or to allow someone to be a dick. I have people that I work with and I know something is wrong with them...they are brilliant in some ways, great work ethic, but they can't help but criticize other people all of the time. I am looking into getting some really good headphones so that I can ignore their ugliness because lately I have found myself pointing out their bullshit and I am finding that I spend too much time worrying about it afterwards. Live and let live...I guess.

My brother has Asperger's syndrome. He always had trouble making friends and reading social cues. But he's gotten waaaay better since he discovered his passion, music. He makes friends much easier, and gets better grades. So I would encourage anyone with Asperger's to find out what makes them happy.
One of the contestants of America's Next Top Model last season had Asperger's, and in my opinion she was the best, most intelligent model the show has ever seen. The only reason she didn't win is that Tyra Banks is an idiot.
I never thought of Donnie Darko having Asperger's, but I guess it's possible. Unlike what some believe, not everyone with the syndrome acts exactly the same. Some are very quiet and shy, some are loud and obnoxious.

All of this is really interesting, i've never really heard of that comparison but doesn't his psychologist specifically say that he is a paranoid schizophrenic? is there a relation between that and AS?

I think the reason the film was such a hit, is because Donnie was so misunderstood, by everyone. His family, friends, teachers, etc. I think at some point in all of our lives (especially our teenage years) that's how we all felt. I know that's the main reason this film touched me so deeply. I felt I could identify with him, that I was him, you know? And I think most people either feel that way and love the film, or they don't understand it at all; generally the latter.
And to correct the author of this post, Donnie was a paranoid schizophrenic, not a victim of AS.

New Kids on the Block is my favourite pop-band of 90s. NKOTB had so many hit songs! The ones I remember are 'Tonight', 'Baby, I Believe In You' and their hit 'Step By Step'. These are real songs, not fake ones like today! And it is awesome they have a tour in 2019! So I'm going to attend New Kids on the Block concert in 2019. The concert dates is here: <a href=https://newkidsontheblocktour2019.com>New Kids on the Block tour Louisville</a>. Click on it and maybe we can even visit one of the concerts together!

Carrie Underwood is my favourite US contry singer. She is young, beautiful and charming woman in her 30s. Her strong voice takes me away from all issues of this world and I can enjoy my life and listen songs created by her voice. Now the singer is on a Cry Pretty 360 Tour started in May of 2019. The concerts scheduled for this year, up to the 31st of October. Tickets are available for all men and women with different income. If you love contry music, then you must visit at least one Carrie's concert. All tour dates are available at the <a href=https://carrieunderwoodtour.com>Carrie Underwood tour Spokane</a>. Visit the website and make yourself familiar with all Carrie Underwood concerts in 2019!
