Ba / Betty

Amélie Poulain is Autistic/ND. That’s it. This is a fantastic film

This movie is about and Two neurodiverents falling in love. Joon seems to have some kind of comorbidity but I see a Autistic and Dyslexic ♥️ I want to be clear- I understand that both of these lead roles may not actually have these conditions as I am both Autistic and Dyslexic. I also personally take into account the time period in which it was made- so I personally have leeway for this specific film. “Joon” was NOT a rainman Autistic representation which I do respect. I think they both did a very great job portraying these characters without making it feel super stereotyped and offensive, for its time of release. Genuine representation needs its foundation today as there is not excuse for the lack there of. But I won’t discredit this well crafted and thought out whimsical movie, it is personal favorite.
