I would think not, such a movie would be grossly inaccurate and potentially harmful to the Autistic community. People cannot grow out of being Autistic, it's a neurology so you can no more grow out of it than you could grow out of being born Asian. A film that suggests otherwise would contribute to abuse towards autistic people, already many parents try to force their Autistic children to become or at least act neurotypical, if they believed a person could stop being Autistic (something some view as negative) then they'd be more forceful and with it abusive.
'Rainman'. Dustin Hoffman plays the character of Raymond, who is an autistic savant.

Some people are born with two "brains". Usually, the brain halves are connected and communicate with each other. Sometimes they are partly connected and rarely not connected at all. The movie "The Rain Man" is about a person like that. The people with partial connections, we have labeled autistic. A actual person with two actual brains would have an extremely difficult time dealing with the world we know. If you ask the question on this site about autism, there is a great posting written by a person with autism and how he sees the world.
