We're hoping to film a documentary from an "autistic positive" angle showing all the things autistics are capable of & we are looking for Auties/Aspies/Etc who feel very successful in their life. It doesn't matter if your a genius Doctor or the fry cook at the local cafe. The documentary will be about how we over come & exceed peoples lowered expectations for us. There will be interviews, some advice on traveling, autism facts, etc. We plan for this to be feature length.
We already have a script & treatment but we really need people to interview, doesn't matter where you're from, as long as you have autism & can & are willing to participate (non-verbal is ok too, as long as you have some method of communication.)
Anyone interested can message me here but I'd prefer if you emailed me at cheryls.copy@ gmail.com & let me know what is exceptional about you, your special interests & where you live (just city & state for now).
