ScreenCraft Critique Aspergerers:
"This is a really lovely script, and it immediately stands out as unique. First of all, your voice as a writer comes through beautifully. There are a unique tone and humor here, and that is something a writer even has or they don't have. It's pretty rare to find, and it gives you a great advantage. You have a natural sense of comedy and know how to navigate comedic situations. That shows throughout the script. Not only is the dialogue funny, but the scenes and actions are as well....This script makes me really excited about your future."

"There is clearly a great comedic voice here, your main strength certainly lies in writing funny exchanges and comedy seems to come natural to you."

InRoads Critique Aspergerers:
"The writer does a solid job of fleshing these two out with flashbacks as we really get a great sense of who these two are from the moment they meet. I like that we dive a bit into Asperger syndrome but never make it the sole focus as it comes through the characters rather than the other way around. There’s just a clear tone and atmosphere created by the writer that is evocative and immersive. A huge reason for this is because of how the interactions between Sally and Barry feel quirky and unique as the dialogue between them feels genuine and authentic with how they’ve been built up as characters. With the constant Wikipedia references from Barry to Sally’s assertive and dominating personality, you really get a great sense through the dialogue of who these characters are and how organic and natural they come across."

"I think your dialogue is one of the high points of this script. Witty, sarcastic, whimisical and even borderline fantastical and absurd at times, the dialogue — especially Sally’s — keeps the pages turning."

The Aspergerers
The Golden Script Review by "Jimmy".
THE GOLDEN SCRIPT Critique Aspergerers:
"This is the first romantic comedy that I've seen in months. It lifts our spirits. You can make us feel something positive because your story is all about exploiting negative emotion and turning them into positive. I love how you play with flashbacks. You don't intend to dwell on them. Especially for Barry. You do it amazingly. You tell so much in a short sentence. For me that was really exciting. Really fun. It's something that felt natural.One of my favorite moments is when Barry says all the bad things about Sally and then says that's why he loves her. It's one of the most important scenes for me. I loved it. What I love about your story is that you make the backstory so tragic - these characters were hurt sometime before - while the present timeline is happy and comedic. It makes us feel good about ourselves."
