Enacting Critical Disability Communities in Education is a multimedia storytelling project that brought together autistic people, family members, researchers, educators and artists in a unique international partnership between stakeholder groups in education. The aim of the partnership was to collaboratively rethink inclusion beyond remediation or intervention as the ‘solution’ to the problem of autism. An archive of 17 first-person films was created through two multimedia storytelling workshops in Toronto, along with a short documentary about the project.
