I'm doing a project on autism for exploratory health career class. I wish for a video that doesn't promote curing autism nor positively stereotyping autism. Perhaps someone out there can help?

Hmm... Well, there are those public service announcements somebody posted up here a while ago. I don't know the links, but maybe someone does--the ones that explain how and why an autistic person might act oddly in public, probably with the intent to inform/reassure NTs that we're not going to come after them with an axe or something :)

Amanda Baggs also has a few interesting videos on various topics, including daily life. Some of them might be something like what you're looking for. I have her blog address (http://ballastexistenz.autistics.org/) and I'm pretty sure you can get to them from there.

Also, "Autism & Me", by a 17 year old amateur filmmaker, very well done:

The videos that have been posted on here about autism assistance dogs might qualify---
