The mom is shown to be a supportive, caring mother. She may not understand her son's condition but she tries to help him and teach him about the world at the start of the movie.

Many neurotypical people mistreat the autistic main character. They tease and mock him or are directly hostile.

Early on when the main character and his female love interest get to know each other, she is seen considering eating some chocolate but the main character gestures her not to eat it or she'll get bloated/fat. She laughs it off but withdraws from the chocolate.

Titular character is shown being very nervous upon his wedding night because his autism entails struggling with physical contact, but it's consensual and a very safe relationship. The act itself is not shown.

The events of 9/11 are the catalyst of the main character's journey to meet the President of the USA.
Movie focuses on the impact 9/11 has on the Muslim community and the Islamophobia they experience because of it.

The Islamic faith is called into question, becomes a villainized religion due to the 9/11 events.

The main character is autistic, so a lot of the movie is about him dealing with other people's ableism. However, the ableism is always portrayed as a bad thing, and most of the important people in his life are not ableist at all.

The main theme of the story is about the rise in Isalmophobia after 9/11. There are explicit acts of harrassment, bullying and even assault against Muslims or people who look Arabic.
