I totally agree and like you the film gave us much to talk about.  I am extremely pleased that,  in many parts of the world, our views on homosexuality have changed since those terrible times.  Hopefully education will help other parts of the world to share our views.  
As for those on  the autistic spectrum, again I am proud that education has helped, in many western countries, with our understanding of all kinds of disabilities.  Interestingly there has been a recent scientific paper explaining how the ancient Egyptians valued people for the contribution they could make rather than emphasising those things they could not do.  I.e. People with problems with eye sight were valued for their musical and hearng skills or for their ability to carry out highly intricate close work.  Interesting paper.
