Hey Gang,

I was wondering if anybody knew of any good documentaries on Autism/Aspergers I have seen "A mother's courage Talking back to Autism" and "Autism The Musical" which in a small way I felt was a lil exploitative tho otherwise a decent film I'm looking for something that covers childhood into adulthood

Any films that comes to mind?

I don't know if you've ever been to IMDb (Internet Movie Database (I think it's currently owned by Amazon), but it is the "go-to" source for practically EVERYTHING in the Entertainment Industry-----movies, TV, video games, celebrity profiles, etc. Anyway, I just checked for ya, and they have around 200 titles, with comments from viewers:
