Autism Activists - Human Rights

Autistic young people's voices are often underrepresented - but how do we change society if we don't listen to lived experience?
Let Me Be Me was created, scripted and voiced by our Autistic Activists, an incredible group of 9- to 17-year-olds who meet up to make friends, promote a positive self-identity and get their voices heard using creative methods.
In the film, the Activists remind us that everyone has the same human rights, and explain what dignity, equality and respect mean to them. "We are humans, not labels" after all, they tell us.
The film was created with the help of a professional animator for the charity's Everyday Equality campaign, which put autistic voices front and centre to address the barriers people face in their daily lives despite 15 years of autism awareness events. Dignity, equality and respect would go a long way to overcoming those obstacles.
