Kickstarter:-Taking Autism to the Sky

Like Icarus who longed to take flight and see the world from above, we want to give a small group of kids on the autism spectrum a chance to fly and experience their world in a new way and then to pass that experience on to the world through a short film.

People with autism struggle with perspective taking, empathy and change. They often see the world as black & white, desiring predictability and struggle with understanding other people’s point of view. The also experience the world in very concrete terms.  We want to convey this issue of perspective taking in a pragmatic, physical manner that makes sense to them.  We want them to see their world from the air. We want to take autism to the sky.
