Autistic Role Models

The videos on this channel are produced in relation to the research project Autistic Role Models, which studies the quality of life of individuals on the autism spectrum. It investigates how autistic role models can improve the chances of people on the spectrum to lead fulfilling lives. This is done by portraying snippets of autistic lives in which the model found alternative but successful solutions to the difficulties commonly encountered by members of the autistic community.

Idea, Research and production: Katrine Krause-Jensen

The videos are produced in relation to the project ‘Autistic Role Models’, which is led by researchers from Aarhus University (Raffaele Rodogno and Katrine Krause-Jensen) and funded by VELUX FONDENs HUMpraxis-program.
