Talking in Pictures

Talking in Pictures is a short film that casts a satirical side-eye at the common stereotypes of autism. Created using photos sent in by local autistic adults including lots of University students in response to the question “what makes you happy?” The images sent in response to this deceptively simple question speak volumes about the depth and richness of autistic people’s lives. Suffused with joy, it challenges people to reassess the beliefs they hold about autism.

Viewer comment: “It made me think about what I thought about autism. When I hear people talk about autism it’s 99.9% to do with children. I think most people know a bit about autism but think of it in negative terms…what your video shows is that it doesn’t have to be always thought of in a negative way”
