Autism Stories: Alfonso Camacho

“Looking back on it now, I realize I was hungry for authentically autistic characters in the media, and when I didn't find them, I took it upon myself to create them. Sometimes, by following our art's desire and taking care of ourselves by fulfilling our own needs, we create the very change we were looking for”, says Alfonso Camacho. Alfonso joins this episode to discuss authentically autistic characters in the media and creating an academy that supports and the principles and values of universal design.
