Analysis Of The Film Rain Man

This adds on to not accepting Autistic people into society. As Neil said, Autistic kids, including himself, tend to go into their own imaginary world. While he hates others not connecting with the real world, he also acknowledges himself as one of them. Henry likes to enter his fantasy dinosaur world and others also tend to like to enter their own imaginative world. The reason Autistic kids tend to go into their own fantasy world is because they aren’t accepted, even if they wanted to. Other kids tend to see them as deviants and not invite them to play or join them, but instead, harass them, making the autistic kids feel lonely and insecure. This is not just the case for kids. Even teenagers our age and adults, are not acceptant of Autistic people, adding on to the first point mention. However, in this video, I learned that to connect with the Autistic kids, we need to make them feel welcome, and to make them feel welcome, we must also fantasize their world and do what they do. This includes running around screaming or clapping our hands from time to time. Only then, will we be able to understand them, acknowledge them and befriend

The documentary of Autism: The Musical showcases children who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families throughout a twenty two week program ending with a live performance. The documentary not only highlights the growth the children experience socially and emotionally throughout the program, but the challenges faced by the families and the strategies they employ to overcome them. There are five children focused on over the course of the documentary, Neil, Lexi, Henry, Adam, and Wyatt. Each child is at a different place on the spectrum therefore each family is effected differently by it. In fact each family can be seen at a different stage of acceptance ranging from sock, denial, anger, loneliness, sadness, to acceptance (Autism & Your Family, 2015). Lexi’s father Joe nicely describes some of the stages he experienced starting with denial which he said ended up taking over his whole life for a period of time, a period he describes as fix it mode, then depression because the parent realized that no amount of money or wishing can change the fact that the child has ASD and will always be living with it and finally comes acceptance.

Since the understanding of psychiatric disorders have becomes more common in population, art pieces like movies and novels began use people with some extent psychiatric disorders as their main characters. In Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise’s movie Rain man, Dustin portrayed a man called Raymond, and be diagnosed as autism. The movie present his experience with his brother which portrayed by Tom. According to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed,; DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013), Raymond is diagnosed as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This paper will describe the symptoms on DSM-5 accompany Raymond’s behaviors in the movie. Moreover, biological, psychological, and social factors could influence ASD’s development in variance ways. The suggested treatment will also be discussed.

For this report, I chose the movie, Forrest Gump. Throughout the movie, Forrest showed many symptoms of multiple disorders. I would now like to touch on a few of these, the first disorder I would diagnose Forrest with, is autism. Coincidentally, the number of symptoms Forrest showed for this disorder were greater than those of any other. Moreover, I noticed that in the beginning of the movie, Forrest had a difficult time recognizing when people would talk to him. Additionally, he regularly failed to respond when someone called his name. Throughout the movie, Forrest’s lack of facial expression worsened, and he would often talk in a monotone voice, frequently stumbling over and having to sound out multi-syllable words. At one point it was mentioned that his IQ was only 75, well below the normal IQ range. Another symptom prominently displayed by Forrest, was stiff and clumsy body movement. Furthermore, when Forrest was a young boy he had braces on his legs to help strengthen them as well as to help him to walk. Because of this, Forrest often held himself in a stiff posture while walking and standing.

All the character’s qualities matched up with the autism spectrum disorder diagnostic criteria. There were no symptoms or actions that weren’t. I think this film has a very strong impact on viewers due to the fact that they show what it is actually like to have to take care of someone with autism, and how they think and comprehend things. Viewers can come away from the movie and see that not all family members or loved ones can take care of someone with autism. Certain levels of autism require a certain amount of care, someone who is specialized in the

I find that the movie portrayed an accurate representation of someone who has autism. The movie is relatively accurate to what my grandmother goes through with taking care of a child with autism.

When conversing with others, Raymond lacked facial expression and would not use eye contact. Another indicator of his autism was his need for a strict schedule.

In Thinking in Pictures, Temple Grandin describes autism from the perspective of an engineer, animal enthusiast, scientist, and autistic activist. By providing a balanced discussion of the disorder’s deficits and abilities, her autism is portrayed in a refreshingly positive light. Grandin highlights the special heightened abilities that people with autism possess and repeatedly emphasizes the importance of cultivating skills and channeling interests. When discussing deficits, Grandin does not only state which symptoms people with autism may experience, but goes further to explain why these behaviors manifest. She provides readers with a neurological basis for nearly every behavior, from public tantrums and lack of empathy to avoiding eye contact and fearing change. Grandin tactfully defines, describes, and in a sense, justifies, all the seemingly strange behaviors that people with autism may exhibit, which consequentially helps to reduce the stigmatization of autism. Furthermore, she maintains the hopeful

Overview There are hundreds of movies and television shows that feature characters that live with a disorder that has been or could be diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5). Mercury Rising is one of the movies. Mercury Rising features Art, a FBI agent, who must protect Simon, a nine year old boy diagnosed with autism.

Charlie is a severely autistic character in the film The Black Balloon. This collage was made to represent the world that he perceives around himself, and those things that he finds important. Whilst making this collage, I focussed less on Charlie’s interests and more on how he would see things in the world and how they affect him. His interests are not widely focussed upon in the film, but there are large references to the affect his condition has on his view of the world.

Autism has been around for more than 100 years. Autism is still evolving and becoming more prevalent all across the world. This paper will focus on a film about an autistic female and how she managed with her disorder. The primary focus of this paper is to give the reader a brief overview of the main character, Temple, and essential information regarding autism. Each diagnosis of autism is different based on the individual. Today, there are several controversies that are apparent in the autistic community. There is still substantial research that needs to occur for the comorbidity of the autism spectrum disorder. We pass by people

To understand this, we must first understand what the recognized perception of autism is. For most of the public and many within the research community, autism is seen as a very masculine disease. Not only do males make up most of the population diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, but autism is also seen as an exaggeration of the stereotypical male brain. As a matter of fact, Simon Baron-Cohen, the scientist who discovered the “extreme male brain” (EMB) theory of autism, found that females on the autism spectrum displayed more masculinized personality traits. Baron-Cohen acknowledged that there was a slight difference in the severity of

Autism has been made to seem like this huge issue, something that needs to be stopped. While there are many issues that come with autism, it is not something that should be getting such negative attention. People with autism seem to be the most extraordinary out of any of us. “They are usually intelligent, gifted, honest, hard workers when interested in a task and excellent problem solvers. People with high-functioning autism are thought to become excellent scientists and engineers or enter other professions where painstaking, methodical analysis is required. Some believe this particular assertion is a stereotype, as some high-functioning autism adults tend to struggle with the traditional work setting and the surrounding societally accepted ways of behaving,” (Synapse, Pg 2). There

I learned a lot from it I think the movie is helpful. I personally did not know
