Review: Jane Wants a Boyfriend

So last night I saw for the first time this movie called Jane Wants a Boyfriend about a 20-something girl in the Autism Spectrum. Jane has certain ideas about romance, and obsessively watches her romance films everyday. She has a limited social life and she works at her sister's theatre mending costumes. Jane meets her sisters friend Jack, who tends to date vacuous girls who only care about partying. They connect on a level in which they have never connected with anyone else before. They realize that they both are passionate about certain things unlike their peers. Jane thinks Jack is cool, and Jack likes that Jane is shy, and awkward, but he finds it cute.

I really enjoyed this film, and it was nice to see a "Not your neurotypical Love Story". I really felt for the character of Jane, and Jack. This was a very sweet and enduring view on people with Autism falling in love. I really liked how they made a point of saying that they were not retarded, but different, and that they have feelings and emotions like typical people. I rated this film 5 out of  5 stars on Netflix.

Another Resource for Parents of ASD Kids

So recently a family member recommended another ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder) resource site for parents. I will link it here for others who may be looking for information to help them parent their ASD child. http://www.child-autism-parent-cafe.com/

Below I have linked a resource in written form for you to check out too.
