I love this movie -- so much in fact that I lend it out to families with older Aspies and ask that they watch it together and then come back in and talk about it. We don't take enough time, in my opinion, to consider what ASD is like in adulthood. Our focus has been primarily on early intervention, and while that undoubtedly will help upcoming generations of people with ASD, it has left the adult population wondering 'what about me?'
If you are an NT, and have ever wondered what life is like as an adult with ASD, spend a few hours on www.wrongplanet.net. I think it will open your eyes a bit...it makes me realize just how much work we have to do as practitioners, if nothing else as liaisons between the NT and neurodiverse worlds.
