…and I’m not a terrorist!

I went to see this film last night and was blown away!  It is the first Bollywood film that I have watched and expected to find it a lot harder to follow (Hindi with English subtitles).  It was really good and I must have cried at least 5 times; it was a clever balance, which enabled serious issues with moving messages to be covered, mixed with comedy to lighten the mood without being insensitive to any issues covered. 

The story was romanticised but hey it was Bollywood, so must be expected but that again didn’t detract from the stories but made this a real feel good film

In a nutshell: Bollywood’s Forest Gump and I highly recommend you watch it!

Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge’s Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ), as a measure of autistic traits in adults.

This is not a diagnostic test – and many people who score above 32 and who meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger’s have no difficulty in functioning in their everyday lives.
