So before LOTR, Billy appeared in Taggart. He played a young man called Jamie who has Asperger's Syndrome.

If you have watched or at least know of this appearance, post here!

Here are some pictures from Brandyhall.net.

Question! what is Asperger's Syndrome? i feel dumb asking it!

[sexypinkdots]

Asperger's Disorder is a separate Autistic Spectrum disorder which does not meet criteria for other Pervasive Developmental Disorders or Schizophrenia. Features of Asperger's Disorder are severe and sustained impairment in social interaction and the development of repetitive patterns of behavior, interests and activities, and significant impairment in social, occupational and other important areas of functioning. Because there are no significant language delays or cognitive deficits, Asperger's is considered a form of high functioning autism.

There ya go

This is very apparent in Billy's character.

I think Billy did a good job portraying someone with Asperger's Disorder. It's not exaggerated in any way that it's inaccurate.
