Over the years my family and friends who were parents themselves; have at different times said to me that they don’t know how to explain to their children that Savannah is autistic. They did not have the understanding themselves nor the vocabulary to teach their children about Savannah’s unique way of playing and why she seemed so different to them.

So it was a great honour for me to meet someone like Michael Clark at the Jozi4Autism event a few weeks ago. He and his team at MAAN Creative Studio have created a lovely animated short film about a hedgehog who is raised amongst sheep. The movie aims to create acceptance of people who are autistic and it is intended to be available for free.

Please help me to help them meet their crowdfunding goal to get this movie made by following the link. Watch the short clip and then please back them through the crowd funding option. There are only EIGHT days left to raise the funds.
