Within the context of the multi-annual #AutismNotInvisible campaign, Autism-Europe is looking for stories from the autism community. In the context of the campaign, it is critical to share the lived experiences, concerns and expectations of the autism community. We will share these stories via the campaign website to illustrate our call for a society that values autistic people.
We will build the website around the production of video content, but, of course, all sorts of expressions and means of transmission are welcome and will be featured.
Read the call in EASY TO READ here.
About the campaign:
‘Not invisible’ is a multi-annual campaign that seeks to draw attention to the fact that autistic people’s needs are often made invisible. Autism-Europe and our members want to raise awareness of the barriers and discrimination autistic people face, and how to overcome them.
We advocate for the realisation of our human rights in all areas of life, in line with the UN CRPD. We call for a society where autistic people are fully recognised, and get the understanding, acceptance, and full enjoyment of their rights they deserve. Nothing about autistic people should be done without autistic people.
Ideas or inspiration:
- You are welcome to record a short video, see the next page for some recording tips, including questions to answer.
- You may send us one or multiple pictures/photographs; they can be a portrait or a self-portrait or a different type of representation depending on what you want to express and represent. These pictures can be supported by a caption.
- You record a vocal message, telling your story. Please find the questions for inspiration on the following pages.
- You write a blog/text, based on the same questions as mentioned above.
- You create or help someone create an artwork. We need to digitize this for the website, so a picture would be great.
Please send your material to communication@autismeurope.org
