Rain Man is actually based off a real guy, his name was Kim Peek and the reason he could do all these things was because of a few deformities in the structure of his brain, most notably his corpus callosum (the thing responsible for communication between the two hemispheres of the brain) was spread out through his whole brain instead of being in the one spot which meant he could make all these connections that most people would never think of

[@HayyanPro167]

If I’m not mistaken, Kim Peek’s case was the fact he didn’t have a corpus callosum, which is why his case was so curious. Correct me if I’m wrong

[@grayfox1422]

I met Kim Peek in person when he and his Dad opened the floor to any questions. Let me say I am autistic and studied physics at the university where this experience took place. Kim blew me away with his turn by turn directions between two small towns in Canada, as requested by a Canadian student. The brain of Kim was not autism but a much rarer disorder. His father was relieved when Kim died before he did as he feared for Kim's care. I believe Kim was in his 40's at death. Kim is credited in Major Film because Dustin Hoffman spent time with him for his role in Rain Man.

[@knilchh]

I have a 30 year old son with Autism. He's my hero. He is so smart and articulate, but he doesn't speak he spells. People with Autism are " in there" They are keenly aware of everything.

I love my son with all my heart.

[@audreydoyle5268]

We are not "in there" like the autism is a shell. We are there. Who we are on the outside is who we are on the inside, we show up exactly, reflected authentically as we are. What I suppose you mean is that we have a richer inner world. So it appears like we're a shell of a person, because of minimal expression. But that flat affect, that is a result of trauma, which we are more susceptable to due to having less synaptic pruning; the more synapses, the more connections to information, including trauma. Oh, and we show it. We show our inner worlds. Only when NTs are willing to get off their under-intellectualised high horse. We are who we are, inside AND out.

This is the type of movie that made the first neuropsych that we took my son to (at 14 months) tell us he couldn't br autistic because he said "hello" when the doctor walked in and at a few points during the session made eye contact and came over to hug me or my husband. He totally ignored almost 6 months of reports from his physician, day care (which had to kick him out) and 4 therapists from Early Intervention (including an ABA -BCBA therapist whose area of speciality was children with Autism). He was 100% confident that no child with Autism would be able to seek out affection, make even short term eye contact, or use vernal skills in a social context. It took us 4 more months of petitioning our insurance company and begging our way through wait lists to get to a neuropsych who wasn't using a test that was outdated by over 25 years to get a true diagnosis, so we could get him immediate therapy. His diagnosis has been confirmed more than half a dozen times since then by several different specialists and he spent 3 years going to a school specifically for neurodivergent children. He worked so hard and is finally at a place where he has the skills to start handling the different tasks in a mainstream school where, with the help of an aide and an IEP, he is able to work through the stressors. We know it is not easy for him so we cheer on every achievement, but I will never forget the doctor (who is still in practice) who seemed to believe that if you don't act like rainman you can't be autistic.

And the kicker is, he wasn't even autistic!! He had a different brain structure, sure, but not an autistic one.

He's not a genius. He's just a living calculator. Which is useless.

Plot twist: He seen the box contained 250 toothpicks, and saw 4 in the box lol

[@thatcatthatalwayseatsyourchees]

how he couldn't have seen the box

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

I keep thinking that before the scene was filmed, he looked at the content number on the box and saw the Four in the box then he added Four and that is what gave him the exact number. This would be in the script. Yes, there are people who can actually do that, but this is an actor who is acting. However, if you disagree or think that I am wrong, then please, please correct me. 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️

He, at least the character, doesnt know how 1 dollar or 50 cents works. To him, its two seprate things. He doesnt know the corellation between dollars and cents. So, to answer your question, he just doesnt know what it is

As an autistic person, I really didn't enjoy the movie. It gives the typical message of "value autistic people because they are actually smart," but not every autistic person is a mathematical genius. Beyond the stereotypes, this poor man just gets used by those that should care for him. He even gets s*xually assaulted, but it's shown as something sweet. Ew.

Don't pay any attention to that bully's insult. It is true, that many of us who live with any single thing, no matter how small, are the brunt of small-minded people's jokes, & bully's disgusting behavior. Growing up in school, I couldn't remember the right steps in Math; the dates & their events in History. I had nightmares that I couldn't get in my locker, or I would miss the school bus, or my grades would not be As or Bs because my father was so strict. But worst of all, I had a noticable "hesitation stammer" aka stutter. I finally gradually overcame it when I was in my early 20's. It did not return. Praise God. 🙏🏼 I'm 81 now, & long ago I learned to laugh first at myself, so others are laughing With me & Not At me. It's usually my frequent forgetfulness. But All I have to do is make Notes & have a specific place to put them. Like on a big wall calendar, & a one-year Daily Notebook. ✝️🙏🏼👍🧓 Blessings to you for a good life. 💞

People need to write genius characters and not give them names of real conditions 😭

[@MICHAELDANIEL-qp7no]

He’s not a genius though, he’s just gifted. As you can see he has problems applying math to real life situations but he can do it very well in simplistic terms. He was locked in a mental asylum most of his life, it’s based on a true story about an autistic man.

[@SethHisoka]

oh, terribly sorry that real people with real conditions like my autism bother you that much, and you would prefer a fantasy world where we don't get names for our conditions or the accommodations available to treat them. Just say you don't value people with disabilities and think their only use is as a fictional character for your personal amusement like some sort of dancing monkey and move on.
