Raymond was based on a real person, Kim Peek. However, the movie does not give a very accurate portrayal of [[autism]], because Kim Peek is not autistic. He is very disabled and also very brilliant but he is not autistic. He is mentally retarded because he suffers from absence of the corpus callosum in his brain and from macrocephaly.
