this is a movie I rented not sure i want to wacth it now after reading the plot on th eback of the box. Maybe becasue the movie is french it calls autism a mental illness I hear france is very behind when it come sto autism


intelligent, moving and beautiful portrait of Sabine, a 38-year-old autistic woman, filmed by her sister, the famous French actress Sandrine Bonnaire. Through personal footage filmed over a period of 25 years, it is revealed that Sabine's growth and many talents were crushed by improper diagnosis and an inadequate care structure. After a tragic five-year stay in a psychiatric hospital, Sabine finally finds a new lease on life in a home together with other young people living with similar mental and emotional illnesses. This very intimate film also sends an urgent message to a society that still does not know how to properly take care of its citizens with physical and psychological disabilities
I'd say give it a shot.  In France it is categorized as a mental illness- France still uses a lot of Freudian concepts that have been discarded in the USA and UK, and mostly still believe the refrigerator mother theory, so that may explain the terminology.  However, the actual plot line sounds like it could be good.
