'There's no one way to be autistic'

Autism presents differently in different people. It's often misconceived as an illness to be cured when, in fact, it is just a different way of experiencing the world. Contrary to stereotypes, autistic people can be creative, emotional, and highly empathetic.

In this beautiful animation, British author Sara Gibbs shares how being diagnosed with autism as an adult changed her relationship with herself.
