There's an obsessive gambling scene, but I'm not sure it would count as addiction.

The R slur is used a lot in this movie to describe an autistic character.

Both parents are mentioned to have died off-screen before the events of the film, and the father's death sets the events of the plot in motion; early in the film, Charlie gets a call that verbally states that his father has died, and that the father's lawyer had been trying to reach Charlie for a couple of days to tell him that.

The main character technically "kidnaps" his brother, but it's more him taking advantage of him and his disability to get what he wants.

The fart happens in a phone booth during the day, for anyone sensitive to that.

It's not really a hospital scene, there's a mental institution in the beginning, and they see a doctor at one point but I wouldn't consider either scene a hospital

Raymond hits his own head with his hand whenever he feels very upset, which happens several times. Does it count?

Rain Man has a complicated legacy in it's depiction of autistic people. It's long been criticized for perpetuating the autistic savant stereotype, but it also dispelled other myths and misconceptions about autistic people and improved awareness of how autistic people have been failed in accommodations.

His response to overwhelming situations or his "trigger episodes" involve self harm. So violence towards himself

Raymond’s childhood was not exactly pleasant due to the unfortunate luck of being autistic person raised in the 1950’s. And even throughout the movie Charlie’s character arc is partially learning to be less of an asshole to his brother
