Description

"I'm Special: My World Is Different" is a documentary that captures the life of an autistic child, Sunny D'Costa, of Ahmedabad, India. Sunny was about two-and-a-half years old when his parents realized that he was not responding to them. It was diagnosed that he was autistic -- something that they had never heard of before. Sunny's story is the story of love and care and Hope. The way the entire family including Sunny's parents and his younger sister have taken care of an autistic child is exemplary. It is also the story of a mother's love for her child and how she sacrifices her life to ensure Sunny is not neglected. She has faith and regularly takes Sunny to church and temples. She also teaches Sunny to pray. The parents have examples of autisitic personalities such as Thomas Alva Edison, Mozart, Albert Einstein and they feel their son too can be a great achiever. So they seek a little space so he can develop with love and care. They find Sunny's love unconditional and reciprocate the same to him. The film conveys the message that an autistic child is as lovable and as caring as a normal child.
