I have a document generated by doxygen with just \section directives and no chapters, so they're getting numbered as
0.1 Section 1
0.2 Section 2
0.2.1 SubSection 1
How can I skip the chapter number and display 1.1, 1.2, instead?

You current code states that the theorem should be labeled as <mycounter>.<theorem number>. The leading 0 is the mycounter number and you probably never change that counter, so it stays 0. The specialthm theorem has its own counter called specialthm. So if you only like that number use:
\newtheorem{specialthm}{specialthm}
which give me the requested behavior, i.e. continuous numbering across chapters.
If this really doesn't work for you can redefine \thespecialthm which prints the theorem number:
\renewcommand*{\thespecialthm}{\arabic{specialthm}}
This sets the number to only be the theorem number.
By adding \setcounter{chapter}{n} before the nth chapter seems to fix the numbering of subsections issue. Also though, you have to reset the numbering of sections. An easy way to do this would to just define a new command. For example:
\documentclass{report}
\newcommand{\mychapter}[2]{
\setcounter{chapter}{#1}
\setcounter{section}{0}
\chapter*{#2}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{#2}
}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\mychapter{0}{Acknowledgments}
\mychapter{1}{Introduction}
\section{Introduction}
\section{Further Introduction}
\mychapter{2}{Experiments}
\section{Experiment One}
\section{Experiment Two}
\end{document}

Your Mistake
You are actually using the
bookorreportclass or something like that.So, your output looks like this as reported by you.
The Solution
Please use the
articleclass in place ofbookclass.The above gives your desired output.
Relevant Explanations
bookclass is for real books. Andarticleclass is for articles in scientific journals, presentations, short reports, program documentation, invitations.\chaptercommand at the start, your chapter number is zero, which is reflected in your output as you have told us. Please remember that\chaptercommand is not even recognized inarticleclass.
