Here is a list of autism films I have compiled. I am working on a documentary list which I will post up.

Please add if I have missed anything. I do have another list of people who are potentially on the spectrum.

Please add your thoughts on any of these films and how you feel they depict autism.

The Cry of the Owl
I highly recommend it. The guy has depression, but I think he has quite a few autistic traits too.

Don't forget the classic Wretches and Jabberers, featuring two nonspeaking autistic men -- Tracy Thresher and Larry Bissonnette! There's also William Davenport's Citizen Autistic, which I think he's working on the second edition of, and the soon-to-be-released Deej, written, produced, and directed by David James (DJ) Savarese, who is graduating this month from Oberlin as its first nonspeaking autistic student.
