Last night I watched the documentary Loving Lampposts. A fascinating, informative film about autism, and a look into the lives of various people of many ages who live with autism. I appreciated it greatly, I have several family members with autism or another developmental disorder, and my best friend's little brother (who I have known for years and years) has a very severe form of autism. It was a wonderful watch. I wish it had leaned a bit more heavily on the human interest side and less on the scholarly side, but that wasn't its point, so I'll accept it.

PS- The name of the film comes from the maker's son, who is autistic, who visits a park by their house and ritualistically goes to every single lamppost to "check on it."
