Added DiffLines:

* Charlie teaching Raymond to dance with his date and asking him if he wants a hug. Raymond accepts, though it goes into Tearjerker when he panics thanks to his autism.
* When Raymond's date stands him up, Susanna dances with Raymond in the elevator and even gives him a kiss, marking one of the first times that Raymond does not panic when it comes to affection from someone.
** Really, anything with Susanna is really sweet. She regularly calls out Charlie for using Raymond at the beginning and is more patient and understanding in terms of Raymond's disability than Charlie is at the start.

* The PhotoMontage at the end credits shows the pictures Raymond took throughout the film. They have an unusual, sometimes off-kilter, point of view, but are often quite beautiful. One suspects when we look at these pictures, we are in Raymond's world.

* At the ending, when Raymond finally figures out the punchline of "WhosOnFirst". Compunded by the fact that this troper is actually Autistic. Hang on, I got something in my eye....

Original makes it sound like autism is a disease (\'suffering\' from); like \"Don\'t come near us autistics, we\'re contagious!\"
