The AET Youth Council

The AET Youth Council was set up to capture and share the views of young people on the autism spectrum and their siblings. They inform the work of the AET.

There are 12 members on the council. We lent some of them cameras to record their experiences at school.

The Youth Council Film - Low Arousal Version



We have produced this film to meet the needs of people on the autism spectrum who may find television overwhelming.

For groups of people without these issues, please feel free to watch The Youth Council Film - Standard Version.

- Effective films for people not on the autism spectrum may have:
- Music to add emotion and drive the progression of the film.
- Visual effects (zooming in / out and transitions) to hold attention.
- Abbreviated subtitles.
- The option to stop, rewind and replay at will (when on a website).
- Content and format that changes frequently.
- Text without accompanying voice over.

We have intentionally avoided all thee techniques in the production of this film.


Youth Council Film - Standard Version



We have produced this version to meet the needs of people who are not on the autism spectrum. For people who find normal television overwhelming, please feel free to watch The Youth Council Film - Low Arousal Version.

Effective films for people on the autism spectrum can work better (depending on the individual) when there is:

- No music to distract from the message.
- No zooming in or out.
- Subtitle that match what is said, exactly.
- The option to stop, rewind and replay at will (when on a website).
- Content and format that stays static as far as possible.
- Text with accompanying voice over.
