Cognitive Disabilities in Movies and Television

our favorite movie has always been "The Other Sister" with Juliette Lewis and Diane Keaton.  When Amber got her own place she said she was just like the girl in the movie. It is a wonderful movie that shows how far we have come in accepting and helping those with developmental disabilities.  It also shows that they have dreams and goals just like everyone else and should be able to have the opportunity to achieve them

One TV show from the early 90's I remember was "Life Goes On" - Patti Lupone was the mother, Kellie Martin was the daughter and Chris Burke played the son with Down Syndrome.  I always thought that was so cool to have this guy in the show, who was actually pretty smart and understood his disability.  Anyway, I don't know how realistic a portrayal it was, since I don't really know anyone with Down Syndrome, but I recall hearing some good reviews about it.

chris burke has also played a number of guest appearances in movies on lifetime channel ny pd blue the cop series even law and order all of them I mean all the tv series with law and order in it has had kids and adults with special needs in their episodes, in quantime leap there is an episode where sam beckett leaps into a boy who has downsyndrome I thought he did wonderfull with the roll. Prachya Pinkaew directs a movie called Chocolate fury which a girl playing as autistic (high end) believes she can copy every martial art move she sees, in this movie her mother developes cancer the girl uses Tony Jaa the most recent martial art phenom as her idol not a bad one either lol, a lot of people owes debts to the mother and they refuse to pay thinking that the kid is harmless, without this money they couldn't afford to pay for treatment anyways not to give the whole movie away I thought it was done very well, Jeeja Yanin Plays the autistic girl and does such a good job that sometimes you actually think she has autism keep in mind if you are interested in seeing this movie which I recomend it is rated R for those who don't like violence it was made in 2008. There are plenty of movies and tv series that portray kids and adults with disabilities some great some not so good some you clearly can tell research was done and others not at all.
