Leroy Lim's film "I Believe" narrates a personal encounter between a person with autism and a youth leader. Does it lead to friendship and inclusion in the group?  Find out more.

The film "I Believe" was part of the Temasek Short Film Project 20/20 in Singapore.  It is an accurate portrayal of persons with autism and their interactions with people they meet. It is based on a personal encounter the student from Lasalle, Singapore had with an autistic teenager.

As Leroy Lim mused "..we hope the film's message - to understand and accept people who are different from us - will get across to anyone who watches it". Read the entire article here 

Kavita Sharma of PrayasLabs and a mother of a son with autism says: "It is the most appropriate representation of Autism. I could see my son there. Empathy, love, forgiveness, no grudges are depicted beautifully. Repetition with respect to their interests and demand, sensory defensiveness is portrayed well. Inclusion at work place and in society is so important, it says all."
