i found this film at the library last year, and did enjoy watching it because in my mind, the process going into filmmaking, as well as support system to sue rubin [family and friends], seemed to embrace and honestly represent the 'spectrum' of traits associated with autism.

'The media still has a very long way to go, apparently, before autistic people are written about in a maximally balanced manner. However, it is at least encouraging that some people are recognizing that no, not all of us on the spectrum are male, and that yes, we understand that other people have minds, and that no, we are not schizoid or sociopathic, and that yes, we are capable of learning, having feelings, and leading happy and productive lives.'
