I know Rain Man a idiot Savant, I know Mozart and the Whale, but there were others (one with a black actor in it) that were anounced or commented on here on the forum, which I haven't seen yet, but I want to. Can anyone give me the titles and a list of good ones?

Adam is about a man with Asperger's Syndrome (I liked this film - there are many scenes that really hit home with me.)
Snowcake is about a woman with autism. (Sigourney Weaver is quite good in this & I found a lot to identify with in her character.)

The horse boy is one, after a book, it should be released any time soon, I heard. A boy from the USA going wiht his parents to Mongolia to see a shaman. They tell him that there used to be boys like that among their people and they were see as shamen.

Ben X is great.. one of my favourite films.

Another of my favourites is Chocolate.. The girl is Autistic not really Aspergers but I like martial Arts movies. Using autism as a reason a person can excel at martial arts is more entertaining than realistic but I like it.

This line from the trailer makes me laugh and is probably offensive but not to me. :lol:

In Stranger Than Fiction, Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) seems like he has AS.

Awesome. A friend of mine told me about this as well but I had forgotten the title. Thanks Tensho :thumleft:

Choking Man is supposedly is about an Aspie man. Hamis is about an Aspie woman. I haven't seen either of them.

[b]Does anyone know where I can find the movie ADAM to watch online or download?

I've been wanting to watch it forever, but it's never going to be on where I live.

Here's a site I stumbled onto:

Movies About Autism, Asperger's, and Savantism

Several of the ones they suggest are new to me.
