REFLECTION PAPER
Reflection1: why i think my story will appeal to the target audience?

It’s a docu-drama that consent parents with autistic kids, I think it will help parents to understand more about their kids after watching it. Parents tend to work very hard for living expenses and didn’t notice on their kid’s talent. There’s still hope no matter what condition their kids are facing. Notice more on their kids movement and things that they do. Find out their talent and put them on that path to further their talent.
