Saw this on YouTube, great people, this particular performance is about bulltying, but there are many more videos, this initiative should be in more countries.

I've enjoyed the video and I feel that more countries should be involved in such projects, to show that autistic people have a great deal of purpose in life. We need to see more videos like this one. We need to show the world that we're not useless eaters or lives unworthy of life.

It was very good. A little brutal in places, which brings it back home for me, but at least it ended on a positive note. I'm glad it did. I've been too depressed lately to take in any more bad news.

Would be nice to have an international WP-Festival with art of autistic people, performances, people, who are giving lectures about autism, presentations of special interests, poetry written by autistic people, films made by autistic people.
My main special interest for 20 years was classical ballet, I would definitely wanted to join.
Because autistic people can speak for themselves in many languages.
