Bonnie,
Thanks for the list of movies. I hadn't seen any of them (except the two you haven't reviewed LOL), but would like to check them out.
Have you read What's Eating Gilbert Grape? Maybe you'd prefer the book over the movie. Maybe it's hard to review those two movies since the autistic child isn't the main character really, or perhaps because the stories weren't truly about autism. I did love reading What's Eating Gilbert Grape though.
Unfortunately the only other movie I can think of about autism (and I can't think of the name), was about a divorced woman with two sons, I can't remember if they were both autistic or not. I just remember that the movie didn't really show any of the real problems that parents face with autism. It skirted around the real complexities of having an autistic child.
