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!
Check out the Christian Bale character - Dr Michael Burry - in 'The Big Short'. Burry was the man who first realised that the housing market bubble was about to burst in the US in 2008, leading to the global financial crisis that brought some of the world's biggest banks to their knees. It's one of my favourite movies, and I've watched it several times. And I'm about to watch it again this afternoon...
Check this out...
