Fielder's
Choice (2005) (TV film)
a.k.a.
Disabilities: Autism
Comments: Stop me if you've heard this one. An ambitious
man obsessed with his work has forced on him an 8 year autistic boy
when his sister dies.
This is a typical TV film with rooms so brightly lit there are no
shadows and furnished by set designers. The lack of subtlety
continues throughout, acting, script, development.
An 8 year old boy is dumped by his mother on her brother who is a
workaholic, too busy even for women in his life.
Of course , he goes through a life change.
It is specifically mentioned in the script that the boy has learning
difficulties, not that he is autistic.
