  The Accountant is one of my guilty pleasure movies. Awesome action and violence but it’s fantasy about autistic people is rather problematic.

    I found it fine really. He’s great at killing because he was traumatized into being a super soldier and having plot amor, not because he’s autistic.

      I liked it too, but it does lean into the “Autism as a secret superpower” trope (search). On the other hand it shows that even non-verbal autistic people like Justine can have much more coherent minds than what you see from the outside. I watched “The Reason I Jump” a while back and it really opened my eyes. I highly recommend watching it.
