Autism Awareness Week – Autistic people in films

Yesterday I raised awareness of the autistic contribution to computing and modern technology. There are many who have contributed, as writers, actors and directors.

They incude Courtney Love, Dan Akroyd, Tim Burton, Helena Bonham-Carter, Stanley Kubrick, Anthony Hopkins, Daryll Hannah and Orson Welles.

Having autism has helped some of them they say, getting into roles or contributing. Possibly it just gives a different view point.

Just imagine Saturday Nights curled up on the sofa, or at the cinema with out them.
