This sounds interesting, sounds like you have ideas about how to improve things? Can you say more about what you plan to do in the videos?

A percentage of humans who have a very negative view of autism or no knowledge have no access to the web or video technology
 
Lessons learned from other marginalized populations of people,...usually it requires mass media attention and political action. When it comes to things like this, one has to think "big". I don't have to tell anyone here that the majority of neurotypicals are really uncomfortable with anyone who is different than them,...different skin colors, different religions, political affiliation, sexual orientation, transgender, physical and mental disabilities, etc. There are plenty of documentaries on autism,...but too often they are viewed by people and families affected by autism, and never get any attention by the general public. I will also say that the majority of neurotypicals do not like change, find comfort in interacting within their social "bubble", and think that "standardization" is to be valued. Yet, it is almost without exception that neuro-divergent people, however marginalized and put down, are the ones leading in all aspects of moving the world forward,...especially in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
