Aspergians Autistics Savants
A list of documentaries and movies for the BIG and small screen. I am always a bit sceptical about feature films/TV-series dealing with autism as there are 'Mercury Rising', 'Touch', 'The Great Fight' or even 'Rain Man'. They often don't take the matter seriously and hanging to a cliché about or mixing autistics and savants to the plot's sweet will out of clap.
