Okay, so today I wanna talk about finding some movies about autistic people on Netflix. You know, it’s something I’ve been curious about, and I thought, why not dive in and see what’s out there?
First off, I fired up my laptop and logged into my Netflix account. I figured the easiest way to start was just by typing “autism” into the search bar. Surprisingly, a bunch of titles popped up, which was pretty cool.
One of the first things I noticed was this series called “Atypical”. It’s about a teenager named Sam who’s on the autism spectrum, and it follows his journey through high school, dating, and family life. It seemed interesting because it had multiple seasons, so there was a lot to watch.
After that, I stumbled upon a movie called “Goyo”. The description said it’s an Argentine romance about a young autistic guy named Goyo who works as a museum guide and falls for a woman named Eva. I thought it was interesting because it showed a romantic relationship involving someone on the spectrum, which you don’t see every day.
Then there was this biographical movie called “Temple Grandin”. I’d heard of Temple Grandin before—she’s a well-known figure in the autism community. The movie seemed like a deep dive into her life and how she overcame challenges. I found it could be really inspiring, so I added it to my list.
While browsing, I came across this other movie, “A Boy Called Po”. The description mentioned that the director, John Asher, has a personal connection to the story because he has a child with autism. It seemed like it would be a touching and realistic portrayal, so I definitely wanted to check it out.
I spent a good few hours just browsing and reading about different movies. One cool thing was that they had different movies on autism. They had drama, romance and biography movies.
I realized that these movies could be a great way to learn more about autism. Even for those who don’t have any personal connections, it’s a great chance to understand the condition better.
By the end of my little Netflix adventure, I had a pretty solid list of movies and shows to watch. Here’s what I ended up with:
- Atypical – A series about a teen on the spectrum.
- Goyo – A romance movie from Argentina.
- Temple Grandin – A biographical movie about a well-known figure.
- A Boy Called Po – A movie with a personal touch from the director.
Overall, it was a productive day of exploring. I’m looking forward to watching these movies and learning more. It’s pretty awesome that platforms like Netflix have content that can entertain and educate us at the same time. If you’re curious about autism or just looking for something new to watch, you might wanna check these out!
