If you actually know a person with Autism, don't watch this.

Warning: Spoilers
A bumbling movie.

Hipaa violations. 1) When the therapist that is no longer on his case visits Patrick in the facility, and 2) She asks to be kept updated and the facility agrees, "We will just say you are family." Wow! Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Another movie with a child with Autism AND Savant? Really? We will just ignore that you can't trade stocks unless you are at least 18 in some states and 21 in the rest; until then, you can make recommendations and deposit money into a custodial account but a parent or legal guardian who is of age has to actually place the trade orders. So was the child breaking the law by using his father's signature without his consent? That's OK, let's celebrate his genius at breaking the law.

Drifting. What?

The movie actually named the city the ABA facility was in, and showed that it FAILED.

The Social Worker was way out of bounds. The father never properly explains to anyone about his child's autism. He just lets people act on presumptive accounts.

The movie DID have all the HALLMARK road stops, a widowed father meets an adorable caring therapist they struggle to open up to love while caring for a troubled child complete with birds chirping and a sappy song.
