To help with raising the awareness, acceptance and understanding of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Autism Awareness Australia has created a short film titled “What are you doing?”.
This purpose of this film is to teach
school age children about ASD and help them to better understand and accept
their peers who may have ASD at their school or in the community. The film is narrated by Tom Gleisner and
Michael Whelan is the author who has also written “The Other Country”.
The film includes interviews with family
and friends of children with ASD and features a strong message on inclusion and
understanding of ASD. Animations are
also used to help explain the message as well as the use of some beautiful
imagery.
Over 10,000 copies of this film have been
distributed to every school across Australia including teaching
materials to assist the school and the teachers as they educate their students.
You can also purchase you own copy of the
DVD for $20 plus postage by clicking on the “What
are you doing?” link.
