We were about to post a fairly little look at Hollywood and Autism, and I felt uncomfortable given the seriousness of the reality of the subject and the often very glamorised portrayal by Hollywood. Wanted to learn a little more. I think that the point "these films may not do much to increase understanding of autism at all" is valid, but perhaps by raising the point at all, the Hollywood treatment may prompt viewers to wish to learn more. Like myself! Anyway, thanks for the very interesting links and the post. Just wanted to say thanks for posting this information.
