Fantastic that this commercial has raised awareness and opened discussion on children with a disability in Thailand.
I work in Australia as a disabilities professional. Here there is a strong focus on those with a disability being seen/heard/participating in the community. I used to wonder why there were no disabled people in Thailand (?). Later I came to realise that there are, but they were hidden away in a kinda shameful way (!).
If a TV commercial can change a nation's mind set in a positive way, well, Hooray!
