Great list! I wouldn't have pegged some of these as movies about autism, at least at first glance. For example, I wouldn't have thought of Little Man Tate as a movie about the autism spectrum, but now that I think about it, he definitely has Asperger's traits.

If you ever decide to add some commentary to some of the items on this list, I'd love to hear more about what you thought about how autism was portrayed in some of these films. (Was it realistic? Was the character with autism well developed?)

By the way, I've seen about half the movies on this list. I'd say my favorites were Snow Cake and What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

I have autism too.

As you may have noticed, nothing much is going on with this list. I'm afraid I was a little too ambitious and, frankly, Nick really hates talking about autism so, for the time being, it won't work out. Still, I hope in a couple of years to try this again with him. Keep you posted!

@CRza, do you mean the movie with Johnny Depp ? the young girl was definitely not autistic.

CRza probably means the thai-actioner: http://www.listal.com/movie/chocolate

@VierasTalo, indeed, my bad! Never heard of this movie before, I will add it to this list later on.

Yes - thats the one.

@CRza, thanks for your suggestion! As you can see, it has been added to the list.
