Rain Man and autism: did Dustin Hoffman's Oscar-winner do more harm than good?

Rain Man brought autism into the mainstream, but it also shaped how many people still misunderstand the autism spectrum today. As an autistic adult and full-time professional speaker who travels to speak with schools and companies, I discuss my perspective on whether this film did more good or more harm: and why representation across the full spectrum matters. #autism #fyp #autistic #autismawareness #autismacceptance | Dr. Kerry Magro's Autism Journey
