Our offering for autism awareness month.

 

 

I don't get it Am I missing something obvious? It's lots of photos of people presumably people with Autism or parents of individuals with Autism? But there's nothing to raise awareness, it doesn't say who these people are, and it seems like almost all the people in these photos are happy so it could be argued that everything's good and nothing needs to be done for individuals with Autism. I don't mean that to come across really negatively, I'm just not sure how it's Autism Awareness. If you didn't say it was about Autism, it would just be pictures of lots of children and adults set to a song.

See what you mean - I just viewed the clip.

 

Copied the accompanying text which does say a little more about it. Just a little mind...

 

"In July 2010 seven like-minded campaiginers came together and formed ACT NOW. 9 months later TEN THOUSAND supporters are marching with ACT NOW to raise awareness of the 'real' cost of the budget cuts and the impact the the benefit assessments will have on adults with autism. The faces that you will see in this video are the faces of some of our ACT NOW supporters"
