As seen on Channel 4, our film blends drama and documentary to tell one autistic girl’s story.

This film, directed by the Oscar-winning Tom Hooper, follows a day in the life of 15-year-old autistic girl Ash – featuring her real-life family and best friends. We’re sure many of you will recognise your own experiences in Ash and her family’s story.

Our campaign aims to shine a light on autistic women and girls to increase understanding of the gender gap in autism diagnosis.
