How assassin-on-the-spectrum thriller 'The Accountant' approached depicting autism honestly

Me too. Knew of the film, but had no idea the lead character was on the spectrum.

Thanks for the heads up.
 
It wasn't a nuanced portrayal... it has the savant skill, misunderstanding sarcasm for laughs, need for routine and lack of facial expressions. It's not that I disliked it per say, I wasn't really holding out for realism in an action movie, but apart from the childhood-flash-backs they threw at you, there was no real depth to the character.
