Autism in Movies

I did a little research in to different movies about kids with Autism paying close attention to the characteristics and Costumes.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape











The characters are always wearing stripes, though it fluctuates between them. It's no necessarily distintive to just the one.

Mercury Rising















I found that Simon, the nine year old Autistic boy has his own kind of confidence, though he does hide and scream I felt that was when he was looking at the real world, when he was in his own head then he was able to accomplish a vast amount of things without so much as a second thought for safety

A list of the other films I briefly looked into can be found on this list, http://uk.imdb.com/list/0sigYQ1Icp0/
What  I did realise was that the majority of them were about young boys and hardly any were to do with females, so this alters my perception slightly when I think about how I want Lola to look.
