The movie Rainman was about an exotic car dealer named Charlie Babbitt, played by Tom Cruise, who finds out after his fathers death, that he has a brother, Raymond Babbitt, played by Dustin Hoffman. Charlie needs the money from his fathers will to bring his dying car business from going out of business. Charlie realizes from his fathers lawyers that he has not inherited any of his fathers money, and that all the money his father had, three million dollars, is going to the care of his brother, who was presently staying at a home for people with disorders. Charlie decides to “kidnap” his brother in return for half of the three million dollars. He then realizes that his brother is more than just “ransom” and connects with his brother in the end. What made it so hard for Charlie during the time he spent with his brother is that Raymond was an autistic savant. According to the DSM IV a person is diagnosed as being autistic if they suffer from: Qualitative impairment in social interaction Qualitative impairment in communication Restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities.
