The documentary The Limits of My World tells the story of a severely autistic young man facing the challenges of entering into the adult world after his high school graduation. Because of state policy, Brian is forced out of the education system after his 21st birthday. Now officiaIIy an adult, Brian moves from his residentiaI schooI to his new home. His family worries that without the day to day structure of education Brian wiIl regress to his previous vioIent behaviors. To combat this fear, Brian's parents enroIled him in a newly formed program designed specificalIy for adults with autism. He is the first to participate in this program, as services for adults with autism are scarce in the state of MaryIand. The Limits of My World is filmed from the unique perspective of Brian's sister, frequentIy breaching the waII between subject and documentarian. The fiImmaker explores Brian's new Iife aIongside him, rejecting the societaI convention that Brian must work and assimiIate in order to be a productive member of society. The fiIm, instead, seeks to understand Brian's personality beneath his disabiIity. What does Brian want out of Iife, and how can that be achieved? How does someone with a disability as severe as Brian's function in this worId? What can he contribute to society? The Limits of My WorId attempts to answer these questions through the intimate lens of a sibIing relationship. |
