I watched Mary & Max the claymation animation for maybe the 17th time yesterday.
In a random Google search this morning I came across an 'Autism Anthem' - a YouTube compilation of film clips from:
Skins, The Good Doctor, Power Rangers, The Accountant, Scorpion, Parent Hood, Jane Wants A Boy Friend, The Story of Luke, Jack of the Red Hearts, Atypical, The 4400, Girl Meets World

What do you think of attempts to portray autism in these, or any other, films or TV programmes?
Are there any accurate, positive, helpful representations of autistic people?
I'd love to know your thoughts!
I've just discovered this by accident - somehow missed it - and it might be worth a look. Not necessarily about autism. But I think the themes will resonate. Check the trailer. Made me think a little of 'Into the Wild.'
Leave No Trace
My local cinema are showing Leave No Trace next week; looking forward to seeing it. Also glad to find some fellow film fans, it's one of my interests :-)
