I think the part I like is that it posits- what if autism were simultaneously painful but valuable? Useful? Even a little Heroic? Without forcing social acceptance, without making the autistic person magically able to navigate the world easily.
It’s wrong on every level about reality, but most movies are anyways so that’s normal for movieland.
I dunno, I liked it. It’s simple and nice. What if your pain were useful for something?


More often than I’d care to admit.
