I thought the film was fabulous! I loved how at the beginning you had the stereotypical view of autism, but you changed your view by the end. Kate has played a blinder of a role! I work very closely with autistic girls and her mannerisms, anxious twitches and lack of understanding sarcasm was really spot on. I also liked how you touched on her self harming, this is probably the biggest issue autistic females have, and something that isn't generally spoken about. I have had students who have been sectioned in the past due to them self harming because CAMHS don't seem to see the link between autism and their want to "be normal" because autism in females is still looked upon differently. Females present in many different ways to males and you have to be able to see through their "mask". You hit the nail on the head with the line "I need to feel safe and you make me feel safe". I strive to make my students feel the same way, as when they feel safe and their mental health is good, they can achieve anything!
So all in all, fabulous job!!
