MILDLY DIFFERENT is an Irish film short in which a young woman, coming to a new understanding of herself as autistic, makes a friend who changes her life.
theme
There are scenes throughout a young woman's life in which she struggles in social situations, particularly at larger gatherings, which is implied to be as a result of autism. Point-of-view camera work, sometimes showing disorienting shapes and colours, creates an immersive understanding of the protagonist's struggles when interacting with others. Some scenes depict a young girl struggling to join in with activities at a party, breaking down in tears and being treated unkindly by some of the other children. Likewise, the young woman is later referred to as 'a little strange' and 'too difficult' by her colleagues and members of her family. However, despite these challenging scenes, the film clearly does not condone this unkind behaviour and ultimately promotes acceptance and better understanding of autism and autistic individuals.
additional issues
There is very mild rude humour, such as a child calling another a 'poo poo head'.
