The 'match counting exercise' in Rain man was an accurate glimpse into the very real aberrant behaviors of autistic people. I HAVE an autistic brother who does this counting with various objects, and repetitive counting is a frequent abberation of theirs that the producers/director of Rain Man probably wanted to get across to strengthen their portrayal of Rain Man. I thought it was an excellent touch to the film.
