    Tbh I have mixed emotions about this. I’m autistic and I’ve seen so many films with the premise of "Look at this autistic person! Their story will make you CRY!" To me it just sounds like we're young toddlers or abused animals, which is the complete opposite of who we are. Why does our story have to be the one to "break your heart and rebuild it again"? Where is the proper representation of us autistic people that isn't sappy and inspirational? We're humans too

      Thanks for your feedback, we always strive to stay away from the “pity” or the “inspiration” way of looking at autistic people. Do also check out other films on the channel. This film is an unfiltered look at families and any documentation of a parent child relationship in Indian cultural settings is likely to be emotional. This film’s creators are also on the autism spectrum.
