I enjoyed it. I'll say again, I'm not particularly close to anyone afflicted with autism so I can't speak to that but I enjoyed the flick.

I don't know much about autism. I can't and absolutely will not comment on the accuracy of the portrayal of the autistic characters.
The accounting was wonky. The conclusions he drew were not verifiable without a mountain of paperwork. And in that timeframe, even with a savant guiding the search, would take some pretty serious computing horsepower to correlate the conclusion and sift through the noise. But that's a minor quibble.
I bought in, and the story was good. Didn't see the twist. Should have, but didn't.
Afleck did well, Bernthal killed it. The symmetry of their emotional responses after the fight was tremendous. Beautiful filmmaking there. Well done from all involved.
Was it perfect? No. Was it a good movie? IMO yes.
