National Autistic Society: advert-body-1 by Don't Panic
- Location:
To kick of the third year of its Too Much Information campaign, The National Autistic Society is encouraging the public and transport organisations to find out more about autism and the small things they can do to help.
The National Autistic Society has launched a powerful new film and shocking statistics, revealing the hidden isolation faced by many autistic people across the country.
Nine in 10 autistic people say unexpected changes, like delays on public transport, make them feel anxious. Over half say that fear of unexpected changes has stopped them from going on a bus or train.
The film, created by Don’t Panic London and produced by Knucklehead, follows an autistic woman on a busy train journey, showing how sensory sensitivities and unexpected changes on public transport, like diversions and cancellations, can trigger huge anxiety and – in some cases, leave people feeling unable to travel at all.
Saskia Lupin, 21, is an autistic aspiring actor who plays the lead role. This was a very personal project for her, as her own experiences reflect her character’s remarkably closely.
