Autism & Developmental Disorder Docs.

Howdy boys & girls.

Anyone know of any documentaries that deal with autusm or other developmental disorders?

I would even be interested in films that deal with the subject matter realistically.

My girlfriend is going to school to become a special ed. teacher.

Thanks.

BTW, they don't necessarily need to be on DVD.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but you might want to check out Best Boy.

I don't know of any documentaries, but you might be interested in seeing Paradox Lake. The plot is contrived and confusing (it tries to be a psychological thriller). But the kids in the film are really autistic, and they made up for the mess of a storyline.

I saw it on IFC a few weeks ago.
