Since childhood, she is always wishing to be seen as "normal." She thinks that her life would be better if she was like everyone else, since she struggles socially. This sentiment grows with her until her first year at university, when she actively tries to mask her peculiar behaviour, hoping she will finally be accepted by her family and peers. Humiliation, neglect, feeling invisible and feeling misunderstood drive her to the edge of life. At the height of neglect and marginalisation, she has a meltdown and doesn't make it home. After days of searching for her by her friend and sister, she is found on the streets. Her sister takes her to see a psychiatrist who diagnoses her with autism spectrum disorder, and educates her and her sister about it. Like Everyone Else is a short film about a girl with autism. It explores autism in adulthood, which isn't often depicted in media. Note that autism is a spectrum disorder, hence not everyone on the spectrum will be able to relate to this fictitious story.
