When it comes down to the core of it cinema is meant to bring us together and unite all people under a common interest. Like in may case, cinema brings me closer to all the jarheads that love fist fights and explosions as much a I do. This article how ever is how the film Frakenweenie brought an autistic boy closer to his family.
If you don't know autism is a birth defect that cause the child affected to miss communicate a lot, the child will often become antisocial and most prefer a consistent set order of events (I know I babysat an autistic kid once). That being said I know it can difficult to rise an autistic child and I've seen first hand some of the changes like the looks people give you when your kid starts taking off his clothing in public or screaming at you because you touched this toy and he tries to tell you thing but just can't understand him. The article decried a more serous case than the kid I know has but none the less it is great that the boy was able to bond with his family over a movie. From what the article suggests it sounds intirly possible to held treat and cope with autism using cinema, due to the limited detractions and none confrontational environment. This either a huge breakthrough or a happy quidence, eather way congratulations.
