Introduction to autism that aims to raise awareness among young non-autistic audiences, to stimulate understanding and acceptance.
In honor of Autism Awareness Month, people on the autism spectrum tell the world what life is like.
"Everything in my mind works like a search engine set for the image function." - Dr. Temple Grandin, oral history at Colorado State University
"Listen to children from different backgrounds share their unique experiences of the autistic spectrum in their own words. We started this project by asking parents of autistic children to interview their kids and share their answers with us."
"Based on the book by 13-year-old Naoki Higashida, 'The Reason I Jump' is an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity through the experinces of nonspeaking autistic people from around the world. The film opens a window for audiences into an intense and overwhelming, but often joyful, sensory universe." (Known methods for nonspeaking autistic people to communicate in writing are controversial. The book's authenticity is unproven.)
