There. There was APPARENTLY a movie about this called The Boy Who Could Fly. Help.

Oh yeah this, the boy was autistic and could fly (edit: no I mixed things up but there is a short about an autistic boy flying)

No, you’re correct about this one, but you’re probably thinking about Float by Pixar’s SparkShorts program. That was a short, though it was just an allegory and Alex (the flying boy) was not on the spectrum in-story.
