In this romantic, charming comedy, David, an upper-class student leads a very comfortable life, until he is mandated to attend a support group for adults with disabilities. There, he is forced to accept his own high-functioning autism. In the group, David is paired with Sarah, a confident, quirky extrovert, who annoys David. Despite their differences, they become friends, and Sarah challenges him to accept his own uniqueness. This endearing film stars many amateur actors with autism who portray the characters with authenticity, optimism and humor.
