Shoehorned example with many Weasel Words.


* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The audience is supposed to see Beth as unfairly affected by Adam's Asperger's, but some of the comments she makes to him (calling him a "fucking child" after being well aware of his condition) come off to some viewers as insensitive and cruel, making it hard for some to sympathize with her.

* WhatAnIdiot: Adam doesn't even ''try'' to explain himself while waiting for Beth outside the school where she works, resulting in the police assuming that he's a pedophile and holding him at gunpoint. Sure, Aspies sometimes have difficulty expressing themselves, but again. He doesn't even ''try''.

** Adam sort of explains it, as he was told by his psychaitrist to speak his emotions out loud more often, and because he was feeling aroused at the time (for whatever reason), he asked her if she felt the same way, thinking it wouldn't be quite so awkward if they both felt the same thing. Needless to say, it didn't quite work out that way. As for it never being brought up again, that was probably a moment they both just wanted to put behind them and forget.



* TearJerker: The portrayal of Asperger's is pretty good, so for some Aspies it can be an eye-opening look at how other people experience them.
** There are some general tear-jerking moments, too. For example, the "Dumb Adam" scene.

** It's pretty obvious in the scene that he's panicking too hard to talk. It happens.

* UnfortunateImplications: ''Seriously'', Beth? Adam literally [[spoiler:walked all the way from New York to your place]] so that he could be with you and you claim he "doesn't understand love"? So not only [[spoiler:did Adam [[DidNotGetTheGirl not get the girl]], but he didn't get her because he's a sociopath.]]
