This Is Not About Me (Video)

Emily Ladau, author of Demystifying Disability, recommends the documentary called This Is Not About Me, suggested to her by Lauren Schrero, Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Nora Project. It spotlights Jordyn Zimmerman, who shares her experiences as a nonspeaking autistic student who didn’t have access to effective communication tools until she was 18 years old. 

“….this documentary incredibly powerful and worthwhile. It’s clear proof that we need to move beyond the limiting idea that there are only certain “right” ways to express ourselves or communicate.”
