A list of autism films and tv series. Some of the characters have autism, or autism features. I have not personally seen all of the movies or series, so I can't recommend all of them.

Movies about/involving Autism Spectrum Disorders

Denzel Washington in Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017)

Harrison Ford, Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Kenny Baker, Michael Giacchino, Peter Mayhew, Nigel Godrich, Oscar Isaac, Brian Herring, Lupita Nyong'o, Dave Chapman, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, John Boyega, and Daisy Ridley in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)

A list of documentaries and movies for the BIG and small screen. I am always a bit sceptical about feature films/TV-series dealing with autism as there are 'Mercury Rising', 'Touch', 'The Great Fight' or even 'Rain Man'. They often don't take the matter seriously and hanging to a cliché about or mixing autistics and savants to the plot's sweet will out of clap.

Tommy O'Brien, Randall Core, and Yevgeniya Kats in Dreaming in Autistic Colors (2017)

Delta Burke and Andrea Roth in Bridal Fever (2008)

Susan Sarandon, Nick Nolte, and Zack O'Malley Greenburg in Lorenzo's Oil (1992)
