“Thank you so much for doing this, all the time, compassion and research is truly evident. I watched it with my 13 years old autistic son, who is just figuring out that there is “something” a little different between him and many other kids at middle school. He kept watching and saying “that’s just like me mom” when you were describing behaviors and situations. I think it helped him turn a corner about his own autism acceptance and his own sense of identity. I can’t thank you enough for putting it into words that ANYONE can understand!!!”
“I can easily say, that your educational video had a definite impact on the majority of our 340+ students, all of who now better understand the eight autistic students walking beside them in the hallways each and every day”
“Phenomenal video. It’s information, education, art, humanity and hope. Absolutely amazing, sophisticated, detailed, accessible. Wow!!!!”
“Loved this video! As a mom of a beautiful boy with Autism, I thought this was one of the best explanations of Autism I have ever seen. I shared with the teachers in our district.”
“Awesome video, ‘A Teen’s Guide to Autism.’ Check it out”
“Astonishing viewing! Please check it out.”
“‘People are interesting, People are funny, and People are worth the effort.’ I have a new hero....and she’s a 14 year old NeuroTypical advocate. Alex has been advocating for people with Autism since she was 10 years old. Many adult “Advocates” could learn volumes from the style of this young lady. *Myself included! WOW.......Watch it.....Share it!”
“At age 14, Alexandra has written and directed this video that really helps people, especially young people, understand the way autistic minds work and how we can appreciate them and grow from our engagement with them. This 15 minute video, in my mind, is completely worth your time. And kudos, Alex on your compassion, knowledge, passion and talent.”
“Thank you for this wonderful, much needed video. Emphasizing the difference not the deficit is so refreshing.”
“This should be shown at the beginning of every school year! You are a world changer! Thank you for making this!”
“This should be shown in all schools and homes. A video created by a teen to teach other teens about Autism. I would say it’s appropriate for younger children too. It’s absolutely brilliant.”
“My hope would be for every middle school student and educator to see this video. It would be the very best way for them to spend 14 minutes!”
“This video inspired me to volunteer at a school for autistic kids in NYC. It has been wonderful and I’m so much more aware of all perspectives because of this video… It’s made me a gentler, kinder, better person! Thanks!!!”
“I teach music to kids with Autism. This video and info. made me rethink my approach with teaching my Autistic students.... this video really was an eye opener....Thank you!””
“I was so impressed. I will be sharing the video with my staff … and then having a follow-up viewing for students.”
“Through your film you have brought awareness, compassion and understanding to the subject of autism. You are a credit to your schools and your community as you succeed in your pursuit of excellence.”
“I’m a parent from India and a founder and President of a support group in Mumbai - Forum for Autism. I loved your video and we have shared it on our facebook page - the link is below. thank you for your brilliant work.”
