Subject: RE: BS: Retard - The 'R' word
If there are different reviews I would love to see them. All I see is what is consistent with this post but if there are others it would be good to see. Why would Dustin Hoffman apologize for Rain Man. He was not making fun of anyone. That was based on a true autistic person (forget his name) it pointed out very much how the nature of autism works. Jack the 7 year old that I help his family out in every way is exactly like that. A genius in reading and music but with the same autistic problems including the violence that goes with it. It is the nature of the disease. In all of the films above that you mentioned noone was using autism as the R laugh that I am reading Stiller is doing ... If you read up on autism you will find that rain man is quite accurate. In regard to the positive reviews I can't find any so please share because to be fair if there is another side we should know it
