Filmmaker strives to change way autism is represented in movies

Quote:
Goldman told FoxNews.com that typically autism is represented in a “quirky kid who, you know, was a secret rocket scientist or was solving codes for the CIA or something like that,” but that there’s more to these individuals than those roles.
