A Boy Called Po is a 2016 American drama film written by Colin Goldman and directed by John Asher, with music by Burt Bacharach.David Wilson (Christopher Gorham) is an engineer working on a new hybrid airplane, reeling from the death of his wife and struggling to raise his eleven-year-old autistic son Po (Julian Feder). Po has recently been moved from special ed into a mainstream classroom, where he is severely bullied. He copes by retreating into a fantasy world with his imaginary friend Jack (Andrew Bowen). David is pressured by teachers and social workers to put Po in an ABA boarding school, but he resists, knowing Po is intelligent despite his struggles. | |

Neurodiversity Is Supernatural | |
| A Boy Called Po / int_13bde1fb | comment |
Neurodiversity Is Supernatural: Hard to tell how much of this is Po's imagination, but while Po is in a dissociative trance, Jack tells him that being autistic means his mind can perceive multiple planes of existence. He and Amelia invite Po to join a group of other autistic children on a spaceship, which will take him to another plane where he can live forever. Amelia turns out to be one of the children who boarded the ship and now lives entirely outside her body. Instead Po opts to stay on his original plane and returns to his body, to find David frantically trying to talk to him. | |

Race Against the Clock | |
| A Boy Called Po / int_496569e8 | comment |
Race Against the Clock: The board points out that David has spent two years working on the plane with no concrete results, and gives him thirty days to finish the design. David fails to finish the design and is fired, although he does eventually finish it on his own. | |

Dedication | |
| A Boy Called Po / int_4d1b485d | comment |
Dedication: The word "For" appears, followed by a large number of names, presumably the autistic relatives of the filmmakers, followed by the words "1 in 65 children diagnosed with autism," and then "Burt Bacharach dedicates his score to Nikki," his autistic daughter who committed suicide. | |

| A Boy Called Po / int_687d991e | comment |
Security Blanket: Po is very attached to his mother's old scarf, which he carries around the house and sits under while he daydreams. At the end of the movie, he gives it back by draping it over her headstone. | |

Imaginary Friend | |
| A Boy Called Po / int_7ad0e492 | comment |
Imaginary Friend: Jack bears a suspicious resemblance to Jack the janitor, the adult at school who's the kindest to Po. He takes the form of a pirate, a cowboy, a knight, and an astronaut, and is usually asking Po for help with something. Amelia turns out to be one, too. | |

Idiot Savant: Po was reading at age three, follows the stock market in the paper, and can do math that's way more advanced than anything his classmates can do, but he can't tie his own shoes. | |

First Friend: Po befriends a girl named Amelia Carr (Caitlin Carmichael), who reads the encyclopedia to him and shows him how to hide from bullies. David is delighted, as Po's never had a friend his own age before. Until he finds out Amelia isn't real. | |

Diegetic Switch: Po's sensory integration therapist Amy (Kaitlin Doubleday) plays "Dancing with Myself" on the boombox during therapy. The scene cuts to David and Po playing with toy planes while the song continues to play in the background. | |
