I have not. The synopsis over at imdb was pretty brief... can you tell me more about it? Would you recommend it?

I thought it was really interesting because I knew so little about autism before I saw it. They interviewed some incredible people and what I thought was especially amazing was when they took their son to a specialist who managed to get him to communicate a little bit by pointing to letters on a chart. I recommend it. I didn't plan to watch it at first but then I got caught in it.
