About this Short Film
Birkdale Primary School's short film Autism, Secret Super Power (New Zealand, 2022) offers a thoughtful and uplifting look at autism and cognitive processing differences. Rather than a traditional narrative, it leans on perspective and perception to invite viewers to see the strengths and individuality of young people. The film speaks to school and community life without simplifying experience, and it highlights how children and teenagers can be seen as heroes in everyday moments. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it sits comfortably among works that celebrate ability, resilience and varied ways of understanding the world. A gentle, heartening piece for all audiences.
