    We really admired what Burton has done here, namely the fairytale portrayal of Asperger's syndrome. We appreciate how Burton crafted a character who people could love but many could also identify with on a very deep level and we think the film makes a very strong case that autism and all related disorders should be accepted for their differences and embraced by modern culture.
