This is the film that NAS's Young Campaigners have made to document the making of their charter and show what needs to change to improve mental health services for children with autism. Simon, 15, who wrote the introduction to the film, says:

"Filmed by young autistic people – the exact same people to which this subject matters the most – the film is a realistic view into the core of the problem …It will let you dive right in to the heart of the subject and come away feeling hopeful. So, I ask you to set aside what you know, and to open your mind":
