My friend Tom says the best representation is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. The main character Christopher Boone is spot-on, says Tom.

Often discussed is the film Rain Man. Some will say it is the best ever, others say it is dated, a stereotype that puts unrealistic pressure on people with autism to be highly intelligent in maths (for instance).

What do you think?

If I have the chance I will check out what you mentioned above. I feel like representation of autism in media has gotten better and more prevalent, however it's still too scarce and still has many problems. Like remember the controversy around the movie Music, that Sia made?

Thanks for the interesting article Jura Tempest Federation. Casting is controversial.

Queer Nati0n: I wish my former work friend Tom (Asperger’s) would join NationStates and this region. I’ve asked him often enough. Hey ho. I told him how you feel about The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. He said a work of imagination was valid as long as the reader believed it, which in this case he (Tom) did.
