The Autism File Campaign ... Get Involved!

Due to the huge impact the front cover of the forthcoming April issue is receiving, many mothers of children with autism have contacted us to say they want to get involved.

Mothers are already getting together in groups of 6 and emulating our campaign shot and YouTube clip in their own style. Mothers around the world of all different shapes, colour and size are demonstrating how autism mothers are strong and are 'Delivering Where Governments Have Failed'.

Striking the same pose with the same headlines makes mothers of autism a powerful force as we unite around the world. This is not about expensive cameras, photographers and make up artists; it's about us, the mothers showing our strength. So, grab a camera and 5 other mums and have some fun!

"The campaign is about strength, not weakness, it's about demanding support not hoping for it and it's about how we, the parents are having to deliver where our governments have failed", says Polly Tommey.
