Shalom! My name is Sophie, and you might remember me from my TedTalk on autism.
Now, I’m doing my first vlog in a series of videos which raises awareness and acceptance of autistics! In this video we go over the main autism traits, what the NHS classes as autism traits, and then we dive into further traits which often get glanced over.

This video was designed to be a useful tool for adults, teenagers, children, and their parents to better understand what it’s like to be autistic.

If you would like to use this video please message me in one of the social media links below or email me at slphotos@outlook.com Sources of the information are from the NHS website and the following links.

With being on lockdown and not having to work as much I used to (I have a very social job funnily enough 😂) I thought this was the perfect time to start planning and getting content out there which helps fellow autistic aliens 👽 like me Sophie Lavender a professional photographer, film maker, and a stand-up comedian. Born and raised in York, she moved to Lincolnshire to start a new life shortly after being diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (Autistic spectrum). In February of this year, she was diagnosed with ADHD. Her latest project was a feature length film on Steampunk culture, which was a big hit at the world’s biggest steampunk festival, Weekend at The Asylum. Libra sun, cancer moon, and Gemini rising.

The love/support/never alone promise only stands up if you agree with the ethic of safety from rejection, that motivated my fairness watching site autisticgroupsfairnesswatch,wordpress.com, and you are not on the side of the problematically many intolerant rejecty purgey elements in the autistic scene.
