Autism Representation in short film

I have yet to see a Sparkshort that is not some analogy for autism or straight up about autism.

Loop - literally about autism

Float - "why can't you just be normal?", very reminiscent of the stigma and shame around autism (and other neurodivergences)

Self - trying to change yourself to fit in, to the point of changing your face or putting on a mask (neurodivergent masking)

There are so many others but these are the ones that I am thinking of right now.
