Enjoyed it. Quite different from the book which is very good.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Well acted and direct in its approach it captured the mix of reactions both from the central characters as well as those who associated with them on a daily/regular basis. I would recommend this for people who have little or no experience of Autism and its associated behaviour/emotional patterns as well simply a good evenings viewing.
