Autism – Making the invisible visible
People on the autism spectrum are given their voice. Their impairments are often not visible at first glance.
In their own words, people on the autism spectrum tell their story: who they are, what they are good at and what causes difficulties in everyday life. The people portrayed are actively involved in shaping the campaign, thereby setting an example for diversity. Their stories come straight from life and help to create understanding for their invisible challenges. Another highlight: autism switzerland, together with its partners, is introducing the "Sunflower Lanyard" in Switzerland. It is an internationally recognised identification symbol that helps people with invisible impairments to draw attention to their special needs.
From the project team:
«We are achieving greater understanding and support from the public - for example on public transport.»
