There is a fundamental difference between autism and mental retardation!

The rain man in the film is autistic and has no intellectual problems except for communication problems.

The first two days I saw a movie about a child with autism on TV. They lacked eye contact with people (even if he talked to you, he didn’t look at you), and they liked to pay attention to one thing repeatedly (a child watched more than 1,000 The Titanic), he does his own way (do as soon as he thinks of it, there is no sense of environment), and he has super long talent in one aspect (no need to teach, painting is really good).

I thought at the time, it's the same as "Rain Man". They cannot integrate into society, so they have to live in a nursing home and have to be cared for by someone, but this is not because they are fools, but because they live in their own world.

According to research, most people with autism are born.

Rain Man quotes

  • Charlie: [Raymond making remarks about going to Cincinnati to get underwear] Ray, did you fucking hear what I said? SHUT UP!

  • [Raymond is afraid of riding in a car on the freeway]

    Charlie: Hey Ray, I got a great idea. Stay in front of the car until we get off the exit, you'll get in and we'll take a not so dangerous road, whatever that might me. Is that an idea?

    Raymond: Yeah.

    Charlie: Give me five, that's a great idea. Give me five.
