  this film reminds me of a guy I knew, its so insightful to what he was trying to explain to me.

  This is a very sensitive and interesting portrait of a child. I don't think the "autism" diagnosis has any specific biochemical or neurological basis at present, but I hope this will eventually be worked out to help the many people who are severely affected by this disease.

  Greenmachine there is significant signs of autism shown by George in this documentary, the way that he claims that he doesn't get sad when his friends cry and the way that he nonchalantly reacts to his parents divorce, his fascination with airplaines and schedules, his pedantic monotonic speech; those all scream high-functioning autism. He seems to be more high-functioning than I was at his age.

  GreenMachine said "None of his classmates seemed to notice anything different about him either, despite the fact that the filmmakers tried very hard to get them to say otherwise." Um... that's because they ALL have autism.

  Good grief, what a bunch of mean comments from Greenmachine. I too have a child with autistic disorder but how we approach life I suspect is much different. Thanks George for sharing your life.

  My nephew is a 12 year old low-functioning autistic boy. He cannot speak and he is in diapers. I'd give anything to hear his voice (aside from screaming and grunting, of course).

  I agree that he is not autistic enough. I dont mean that to be rude but it seems George has a very nice life, without the struggles of severe autistic children. I expected and would rather see a documentary about what they go through, this documentary just seemed to be about a typical boy with a nice family. I failed to see how life was different than that of a regular child. None of his classmates seemed to notice anything different about him either, despite the fact that the filmmakers tried very hard to get them to say otherwise. I would trade George's child hood for mine any day.
