Kid was Very Believable as an Autistic Savant

The kid who played Simon in this movie did an excellent job playing someone with autism. My sister thought that they he was really autistic until I showed her his imdb page. Can't believe that such a young actor could play a part so incredibly well and make it believeable.

Funny I thought it was the worst acting from a child I've seen in a movie.
The whole movie was just as bad as his acting.

I really don't think Autistic children really act like that. I thought his acting was offensive.

He should've been non-verbal, that's the way he was otherwise acting.
