'See It From My Perspective'

We're excited to introduce our new campaign, 'See It From My Perspective', showcasing the different perspectives of autistic individuals, parents, carers, siblings, and professionals in everyday situations and the challenges they face, through a series of animations.

The assumptions we make define the reality we see - everyone has their own unique perspective. By seeing another viewpoint, we can challenge stereotypes and promote greater empathy, compassion and understanding.

Through this campaign, we want to inspire you to think differently - to consider the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of the individuals in a situation.
