Our two new neuro-affirming educational animation videos celebrate Autistic experiences and perspectives.
Our animations were proudly created by a neurodiverse, international team, and all our writers are Autistic.
Discovering You're Autistic shares the strengths and possibilities that come with understanding yourself and finding belonging.
Lightbulb Moments: Being Autistic shines a light on the many ways Autistic people experience and make sense of the world, showing that these experiences are both shared and valuable.
Each animation is paired with two companion blogs: one written for the Autistic community, and one for non-autistic professionals who want to better understand and support Autistic people. We hope you find these valuable.
