Cries From the Heart... that was good too! I don't think it's well known. But it shows using a computer for the boy to talk through.

Never forget: Lady in the Water

She's the ultimate autistic!

The World's Fastest Indian.

It's not about autism, but it's a great movie that you'll love, with a lead character who displays many Aspie traits.

Also Benny & Joon, I think.

Back when I used to post here more frequently a few months ago there was often an advertisement for a documentary about a boy with aspergers. I'd like to watch it, does anyone remember what it is called?
