These days Shah Rukh Khan is doing research to get into the special needs character of his under production movie, “My Name is Khan”.
He has been busy reading books on Asperger's syndrome to prepare for the role in Karan Johar’s movie, which is loosely based on the Hollywood film “Rainman”.
Asperger’s syndrome (also called Asperger syndrome, Asperger's disorder, Asperger's or AS) is the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in which there is no general delay in language or cognitive development. Like other ASDs, it is characterised by difficulties in social interaction and restricted, stereotyped patterns of behavior and interests. Although not mentioned in standard diagnostic criteria for AS, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.
Not many would know that Shah Rukh loves reading and he recently finished reading the new book in the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer.
