Anyone know this movie?

I remember it from when I was younger. I think it was probably 80's maybe early 90's. I don't remember much of it.

It was something to do with a girl and building a weird ramp to caputre the moon? And I remember something about building with playing cards. Not a lot to go on. Can anyone help me out here?

Update:

Thank you so much, that's the one I'm thinking of!

    House of Cards (1993) -- starring Kathleen Turner and Tommy Lee Jones is probably what you're looking for.

    Here's the plot:

    A woman's intuition beats out psychology in the battle against autism. The story begins in Mexico, where a little girl named Sally Matthews (Asha Menina) lives with her parents, scientists studying ancient ruins. When her father falls to his death, Sally is comforted by a Mayan mystic that tells Sally her father has gone to the moon. When Sally, her mother Ruth (Kathleen Turner), and her brother Michael (Shiloh Strong) return home to North Carolina, Sally begins to retreat into autism. She first stares silently at the night sky. Then she shrieks when Ruth wears a baseball cap the wrong way. Finally she develops the habit of scaling the roof of the house and other tall structures. This makes Ruth realize that there is something seriously wrong, and she takes her to see Dr. Jacob Beerlander, a psychiatrist who is an expert in autism. As Sally retreats more and more into herself, Beerlander and Ruth clash over the scientific approach versus the intuition of a mother.
