If you really want to see and understand what autism is all about, see the movie "I am Sam", starring Sean Penn. I've watched it a million times and it has made me more sympathetic and understanding towards the hundreds of disabled people we see around us. Whenever i see a disabled person now, I'd always wave and say hello with a smile..and they'd almost always return the gesture. That gives you a really warm feeling inside.

That's so true. "I am Sam" is one of the best movies that I have seen.
