Metamorphoses- Award winning animation short film (2021)

Фильм және анимация

Animation short film “Metamorphoses. Graduation film by Aitolkyn Almenova.
This is a story about an autistic child and a young mom against the society.
To be honest, making this film wasn’t easy. Because of the pandemic I couldn’t work with a team properly and most of the work I did by myself.
I worked really hard at night because it was the only time my own child slept well. This year was tough, but I did the best I could do. I did a great job and I hope everyone likes it.

    I love that you made the neurotypical people animals and the autistic people humans. I think most artists would have done things the other way around, but this choice helps to highlight that autistic people are *people* first and don't deserve to be othered.

    I had to weed out my own mother and sister. It’s been almost 5 years since I’ve seen or spoken to my mother, almost 13 years for my sister. As much as I want to have a good relationship with them, I can’t, because it’s too dangerous for me to have them in my life. What do you do when the ones who are supposed to live and protect you the most are the ones you’re most afraid of, and you have just cause to be afraid?

    I love how they made "masking" literal. They had to hide their differences behind a mask, even though there wasn't really anything wrong with them to begin with. And I like how it represents that autistic people are still people, they don't deserve to be ridiculed, ostracized, or (I cannot stress this enough) infantilized.

    I agree very strongly. It makes me so sad when people very high on the spectrum are just put in a box, so to speak, just being handed things to make them content for the moment, and not encouraged to grow or progress towards their excellent potential. Handed a screen or something and shut off from the world. No real connection. No real joy, just artificial gratification. It makes me so sad. They are people too. I mean it comforts me to know that they have people actually trying to take care of them, and not (or at least not purposefully) abusing them just because their brains work and grow differently, but... Really usually it's just innocent ignorance, and that's what makes me sad.

    At least here in the United States, talk about autism tends to be very polarized (it's somewhat of a theme here, unfortunately). You either have people saying autism is an extreme disability that needs to be fixed and cured, or you have people saying that trying to help someone with autism blend in with society at all is a horrible attack on their individuality. My parents were told I would never speak when diagnosed. Now, after special help and extra time, I can talk! I can blend in with other high-functioning people and even neurotypicals. I get to experience society. I wouldn't have been able to on my own. Now that I can blend in, the assumption that all people with autism are like who I was as a young child feels very strange, but so does the argument that no high-functioning autistic person ever can be. It's painful to see these two approaches fight one another so much. Your animation is the first piece of anything about autism I've seen that acknowledges and accepts both. Thank you.

    Autism is not an individuality, it is a condition that affects your way of life making it more difficult. I don't think making autistic children lock themselves in their bubble is healthier, that's escapism. I believe that the autistic person must have an understanding of reality just as people close to the autistic person must have an understanding of the subject's reality. That is why there are therapies and help so that the autistic person can adapt to the world. Although it also depends on the type of autism you have because autistics with severe autism can hardly have a normal life and a long life expectancy.

    @@fer_nanda4509 on the other hand, thinking of autism as a debilitating disease erases what's beautiful and valuable about people whose brains are wired differently. Lots of media is quick to say to reject conformity and be yourself, but then people stop saying that when someone truly different makes them socially uncomfortable. This is why it's become more popular to treat autism and other conditions as a trait, being neurologically atypical, than a disability that should be flattened. Especially as a lot of arguments for "curing" autism boil down to "oh the poor parents it's do traumatic for them", but if you're going to have a child shouldn't you be prepared to care for them however they come? And what of, as shown in the short, the trauma to the individual who's treated as an Other? I'm not autistic afaik but a high percent of my friends are, & their different wiring allows them to understand things in ways neurotypicals could never. (See: The high frequency of autistic people in scientific research and other important big-brain fields) I can absolutely understand needing to seek and develop treatment options to make everyday living accessible, but I will never see, except for maybe really extreme cases, autism or similar traits as a disease.

    As someone with autism, though a different type than this individual, it's an amazing tool to be able to show it in a way that people understand and that no one will find offensive. When explaining autism, and other neurodivergent things, neurotypical people all too often find it offensive because it is too regularly stigmatized. Awareness is very important, and things like this hopefully build that. Awareness is slowly being built for more acceptable things, like high functioning autism (ie The Good Doctor and Young Sheldon), but the media needs to build awareness about other things too. And this hopefully helps with that.

    We really do get such an extreme view of Autism that it's hard to adjust to the reality that a lot of people who would seem just like anyone else (if you knew them in a limited way) are in fact Autistic. I've even seen someone claim that the very fact that a person is communicating adequately on social media means they are definitionally "not autistic" and like... so you're gonna invalidate all these voices being raised lately, the outpouring of people who've finally found a voice to tell their story from the inside instead of having all these assumptions made about them from the outside? You're really gonna claim that? Brrr. As someone who's definitely Neurodivergent, almost certainly ADHD, and quite possibly Autistic myself (it sure would explain a lot!), it's heartening to see so many people with official diagnoses showing that Autism is not *merely* the presentation that the media likes to portray it as.

    My mother told me I wasn't autistic for the exact same reasons. She thought autism meant wheelchair, unable to function, violent meltdowns, etc. I was a good student, mostly As, and I do freelance art now as a side hobby. Went on for a med Sci course and physics on the side, now I'm thinking of going back for a vet course. My diagnosis referral came back a few months after mum told me there was "no way you could be autistic because you're smart and well behaved". Saying that is one of her worst regrets according to her. I'm not pushed into things I don't want to do anymore, and that extends to customer facing work, since legally I can't do it. There's an understanding now. Autism is something that is demonised for very little reason, and beyond misrepresented in media. For God's sake, the doctor called the hotline for me and staged an intervention when I mentioned I suspected the tism

However over the years of learning a little bit more about Autism I did finally accept that I have it but it just makes me who I am, someone who is different but in my own I try to find ways to connect with others.

    I absolutely love this film. As an autistic person myself, I find it difficult to find media that represents autism in an accurate light. Media tends to try and portray it as either some form of debilitating illness or some sort of superpower, both of which I feel are quite demeaning and inaccurate. This however shows the ups and downs of life with the condition, much like anything else in life. How you depicted sensory overload too is probably the most accurate depiction of it I've ever seen in basically anything. It's such a difficult concept for someone who doesn't experience it to grasp and you did an amazing job at representing it. Overall it's a beautiful work of art that I am so glad I found, and hearing people say they learned a lot about autism from this animation is honestly extremely heartwarming. Keep up the good work!

Становится больно и страшно, когда он замыкается в себе и невозможно его от туда вытянуть.

Yet that does not mean one should push for "results": a young mind won't understand the "what" and "why", one should give them space and access to a variety of knowledge for the mind to form before one starts to engage. Perhaps it would be good to make them interested in books: read for them at least for night time. When I was 5 I really understood nothing of the world surrounding me: I knew multiplications and divisions, and I knew what a dog or a bicycle where, but I hardly ever stopped to simulate what other people may be thinking, and the world itself seemed a blur mixing with my night dreams... I remained pretty dumb" for a few more years (not improving my social ability by much)... Sometimes common sense is not perceived auttomatically and has to be taught (although I reached "enlightment" on my own, I still wonder what if my parents gave clues more detailed beyond "go make friends"...) It was my luck that internet has always been by my side... Wathching tv is a waste of time... And if your kid ever asks you anything do your best to answer the question to the end, at least until you see he got bored: I hate it when the answer to "why the sky is blue" is "I don't know" rather than "because blue light bounces off the particles in the atmosphere" and perhaps also explain them why the sunset is orange "because the blue light bounces away while the red and orange pass through" ... The first answer just turns off the brain and sends the scattered remains towards dreamland. "you won't understand" also shouldn't be a valid answer.

    When the grandfather said that he doesn’t understand anything, that hurt. Autistic people often look like they’re not paying attention to their surroundings, but we are taking everything in to help us understand this world. When he saw his mother crying, that resonated on a personal level with me. I’ve been told by my mum that being loud and drawing attention in public areas embarrassed her. The way he looks at his mother, I can almost hear the words coming from him. I’m sorry for making you cry. I’m sorry for being a burden to you. I’m sorry. Also after he fell down, he’s mostly shown as a wolf. I often don’t feel different from neurotypical people so I see myself as one of them. These were some nice parallels with my life and this child’s.

    I can relate, so you're definitely not alone. Hang in there. I've always had very bad anxiety since I was a kid. Helped less that I also grew up in a dysfunctional household, which worsened my anxiety and made me adapt abnormal survival mechanisms, possibly have depression and also struggle with my attention span. Was bullied all throughout my schooling as the "school freak," as well as at work, and never had a friend, so my social skills are just really terrible. I cannot read non-verbal cues, either, and am extremely tactless, so it's common for people who can't understand to lose their patience with people like me and explode at us and call us "stupid." Crowds make me really uncomfortable. Have had multiple people throughout the years mistake me for having Asperger's Syndrome, but I was tested for that and autism and turned out to not have either, so it's just that my social skills really are simply terrible. It's difficult to empathize with others. It's hard to desire friendship, yet at the same time be disconnected with people, as if there's this wall separating me from the rest of humanity, and I'm alone on the outside looking in. Coincidentally, the only person who was really genuinely kind to me was some guy I used to work with, who happened to be autistic. I honestly had zero idea that he was, until somebody who knew him personally told me. He was just really kind, almost innocent for this world, but I only thought there was something wrong with ME because I couldn't be good all the time like that.

    ADHD and autism have a lot of overlap, and seem to be genetically related. In the non-autistic population, people with ADHD also have more autistic traits than neurotypicals (everyone has some autistic traits). There's even one science team that believes they are different manifestations of one larger syndrome. All very interesting! (I have ADHD but not autism too)

I'm almost in my thirties and I still learn how to do new things that I should have learned long ago.

    To educate you I'd like to tell you that Asperger syndrome no longer "exists"; it's less pigeonholed now and Autism is seen as a spectrum, from functional in society to severe enough that you can't function "normally". So Asperger's is now called Autism Spectrum (Disorder-I hate that word, like something is wrong with you just because you are different: not-neurotypical/ non-neurotypical). People like us like to call it "on the spectrum". I like the word because it represents a sliding scale, not a fixed point. One has better and worse days, weeks or months and even years (like me with PTSD now and bad/ no care or support atm). I hope the new information helps you. And I hope other people will see this too and pigeonhole less. The only thing you can do is your best, and that's it. Not more even if people demand it. And people need to learn that no one can always be at their best or be at their best at that moment even if they try. Good luck.

That being said I really appreciate your understanding about the feelings of highs and lows.

    This short film really made me cry... I am autistic myself and I could absolutely feel into the child. I felt sorry for the mother who maybe didn't know what's wrong with him and I felt hate for the grand-father who had no empathy for him as well as I felt anger with the other 'kids' judging him. The happier I was when he finally found a friend who was probably just like him and made him feel comfortable again. It wasn't only the whole situation which made me cry but also the relationship between mother and child. My mother was the only one in my childhood and ever who loved me the way I was, who supported and defended me no matter what. When she passed away in 2013 I was 17 years old ... it was very hard for me especially because - to that time - I didn't know that I could be autistic. I got my diagnosis at the age of 19 and it explained a lot what was going on in my life. So I take it as a revelation and relief to finally know what's going on. I will always be disabled to understand immediately what people say, to use the right words to express myself even tho my articulation is usually great and I got a nice way of talking as many people say. I will always be disabled to handle stressy situations without feeling pain and overloads, I will always somehow misunderstand things people say to me. But that doesn't mean that I can't learn. I can learn to communicate, to ask the right questions, to analyze and interpret words and emotions and what they could mean. I can learn to handle stress, at least that much that it doesn't exhaust me that much anymore. I might be disabled forever but that doesn't mean I let myself be handicapped in all these things. We do not need criticism or any kind of isolation which means that people avoid us. All we need is a chance to become the best of ourselves and if you give us this chance we will promise to blow up your minds.

    As someone with autism myself, thank you. Representation like this is more of what the world needs. Sometimes it's hard when people see me talking and socializing and are all like "you don't look autistic" and it feels insulting sometimes. I didn't used to be able to socialize well, it's only because I tried really hard and had great help along the way that I am who I am today. But sensory overload is terrifying to experience and the imagery here was done beautifully to represent that discomfort and pain. Sometimes we just need the push from people who support us to get through that pain Edit: the other thing that I want to point out that I truly believe was done here was the allegory with the mask. I don't know if most people grasped its purpose, but I believe it's meant to represent that maybe to our peers we aren't "normal", but without that mask that is our normal, hence the boy being represented as 'human' while the others are animals. It's not to say that other people are lesser or lack emotions, just that to many people including myself feel detached from those around us and this can feel foreign and scary

The feeling of being different and that others would never understand how you process the world is layered throughout the story.

Good news: the pizza paddle beatings from my parents stopped--bad news: the fighting between my parents started. Mom: “Well maybe if you were home more often, Kathryn wouldn’t have turned out like this!” Dad: “Well maybe if you brought some of your kids home from school, she might actually have some friends!” I had a front row center seat for everything, and I wound up playing referee every time before things got too physically/verbally violent between them.

When I got it revoked, they threatened to have me declared incompetent and put away, despite the fact I had earned a degree in Biology (one of the hardest degrees to get, or so I was told).

Find ways that works for each individual child, but never give into peer pressure if your kid starts crying because something was take away. And this isn't just for spectrum children either.

The way people gaze down upon you with either pity or disgust, like an animal. I always understood people weren’t being nice to me, I just couldn’t fully comprehend what exactly it was they were doing that made me think that. I’ve grown, it feels like I’ve woken up from a dream and thrusted into a jarring reality. It hurts to over hear classmates around me talk poorly about those who were just like how I once was.. They don’t know how graining it is. The people who showed me a little bit of kindness were my glimmers of light in this confusing world, when I felt so out of place. I’m a high functions person now, I blend in and show little to no symptoms. Most people don’t know unless told so. They don’t know all the things I hear they say about disabled children haunts me.. I don’t think I could ever reveal what I am to them, but some day- I hope maybe I can gently nudge my friends to learn to be a bit more understanding of those different to them.

    You know, this is absolutely beautiful and explains perfectly well how lonely it feels to be this different. I was teased all grade-school for being different and not understanding why other kids didn't like me or wanna play with me. I never knew that something was different about me until my mom had talked to me about it after I asked about all the doctor visits. They diagnosed me with bi-polar twice until I was finally taken to a specialist who told my mom I have aspergers. It was a struggle for me and my family, and I never saw anything the same after, i always have this fear of being hated for being different. It truly is a scary thing, but I hope everyone here who has autism knows it'll get better. You'll learn to get by, and I know you can :) Subscribed! Thank you for such an amazing animation 💜

    I also support this wholesome video. I myself have high-functioning autism, and I know the struggles of fitting in and being accepted. It took me years of growing up to finally get recognition and acceptance from my community for who I am and not just for my (dis)abilities. The way you involved foxes and humans also helped communicate how having autism can cause a rift between them and society and make one want to hide behind a mask just to fit in, and I approve. Never give up on this battle!

    As a person who is diagnosed with autism, this feels pretty connecting. I'm considered 'high functioning'. My guardians know I'm diagnosed with Autism, ODD, Aspergers, Social Anxiety, Combined ADHD(ADHD+ADD), and depression but they act like I'm not. At 2:36 reminds me of how my guardians often ask, 'What's wrong with you?' or 'Are you crazy?'. I generally have problems and they refuse to acknowledge it. I'm 14 and still can't tell my left from right, and have a hard time thinking before acting. I remember seeing this short film before, when I was 11 or 12. I didn't really understand it. At 5:04 I also felt a connection. I've never really felt like my guardians are my real parents nor that I belong with them. Especially not my step-grandfather. He's greedy, self-centered, and mean. My grandma wants me to acknowledge him as family, and as a grandfather, but he never will be to me. I think family is who you're biologically related to.

    I am autistic, but it was never diagnosed until I was in my mid 20s, probably because it did not fit the "mold" of what an "autistic" person looks like/does. Some say I am high functioning, and I suppose there is some logic to that since I was never "low functioning", but I had many situations similar to this kid. Maybe not to the same extremes, and I was able to "function" properly enough to eat with a spoon, talk, ect... But the rock collecting, the making "a scene" by crying under abnormal situations, the sensory overload from particularly loud surroundings... these things were there. It is always nice to see the humanizing, pun intended, of an autistic character. And I always love a good animation.

  • @statickaeder29

    I love this. It is so beautiful. I am also autistic, and this short demonstrates one of the fundamental feelings I have about other people - they are aliens. I love them, and feel very strongly for them.... and they are aliens. I have always been highly verbal, which clearly this child is not - I deeply recognize the imagery in this short from my own life. Stress makes it harder for me to see and to recognize what I see. Loud noises and lots of visual stimulation is very stressful. Another bittersweet aspect of this is that I am reminded of how much Russian I have lost. I studied it for 9 years - 4 in High School, 5 in College. When I started studying Russian in the fall of 1991, there was no description of a functional autistic person in the DSM, but we did know that I was highly dyslexic. By High School (Middle School, I think, but don't remember exactly), I had taken over the job of telling my teachers at the beginning of the year about my dyslexia, and what they could expect from me - This is very important for a person with any sort of learning disability - that the teachers be told At The Beginning of the year, not only so that they are not surprised when they encounter problems, but so that the learning disability is not seen to be used as an excuse. My Russian teacher forgot that I was dyslexic, because I had an easier time learning how to read Russian than the other students in my class. I think the reason that it was easier for me is that unlike the other students, reading has always been hard for me - a new alphabet was just a little bit more difficult, and the same coping mechanisms that work for English work for Russian. This means that I did not suffer a loss of trust in my ability to read. I am going to add this video to my favorites, so that I can watch it multiple times, both with and without subtitles, so as to help me practice.

    From a young age, I was diagnosed with autism, and instantly set me apart. I couldn't walk until I was a year old, and I wasn't speaking in sentences until I was 3. I nearly failed 3rd grade because I couldn't spell. But throughout that time, I grew passions and got help along the way to be incredibly self-sufficient, incredibly academically successful, and soon to be the drum major in band. TLDR: sometimes we just need a little bit of help to shine brighter than others.

    I appreciate the way this portrayal of autism delves into the concept of wearing a mask to hide inner struggles. As a parent of autistic children, it effectively captures the anxiety that many parents experience, particularly those who may feel overwhelmed or unsure about how best to support their little ones. The depiction of autism in this context resonates deeply with the need for increased autism awareness in society today. It sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals and families, highlighting the importance of empathy and understanding. The portrayal also touches on the unfortunate reality of facing judgmental attitudes from others, instead of receiving the support and compassion that is truly needed.

    Man this just makes me feel bad. I have an autistic sister who has poor communication and is violent, our family isn't quite good, we're... problematic to say the least, but we all do try, she went to therapy and we're still going to send her there to help her out. I'm an absolute shit-head to her, I don't push her around or beat her, nor do I call her names, but I am very vocal about encouraging physical discipline, raising her by the belt, and in fear, the same way I was raised. Only recently did I realize that's not healthy. I really try, we all do, but it's so, so very hard when the person you're caring for can't talk, and beats, scars and screams at you, even their aides and family. The last time she went to therapy before we moved, her longest-serving therapist cried, she was patient and kind, they fit amazingly, when all other therapists, 3~ish I think, left, she still remained, and this patient woman cried because she was in so much physical pain from my sister, she couldn't go one day more. Of course, every day is progress, not matter how little, and I hope we progress as much as she does.
