Another movie with a possible Aspie

So my cousin is a film school student and puts trailers on her myspace page for movies that aren't so main stream, or at least trailers that I haven't seen yet. She's got one up for August Rush. It's about woman with a musical career who gets pregnant and places her son in a boys home. At 11 he leaves to find her, and becomes a music prodigy. There's a scene in the trailer where he watches a revolving door and I almost had to pause it. Emma does that. There were some other things he did that seemed aspieish, not to mention the whole savant angle. I'll be interested to see if he really is an Aspie when the movie comes out.

Speaking of Aspie movies, did any one see a trailer for a movie with John Cusack where he meets a kid who says he is an alien? The kid in that one has a lot of aspie traits from the trailer. We saw the trailer at the movies during our diagnosis process. Emotions were a little too raw then and although I love John Cusack, I kind of blocked out the actual movie title. Anyone else remember this one?
