Those who have seen it or not, all know that this is a movie about people with autism. Autism, I only know the skin, think about it, this is one of the diseases that was only known to the public in the 1970s. The term autism did not appear until the 1940s.
You realize how recently this was discovered. Before it was discovered, there may have been countless children who had experienced this affliction and who were likely to be classified as abnormal by society.
Even today, in 2020, we know very little about people with autism. Autism is not an acquired disorder, the condition is hidden in a baby's genes and is present before birth. There is no research yet to show which treatments or drugs are effective in curing autism, and there may not be a one-and-done cure at all.
