About the solution

"I created my life on camera to raise awareness of the struggles people with autism have when they experience sensory overload. I often have to wear special earplugs that reduce noise around me so that it's less overwhelming. I have specific places in Birmingham where I like to go, where I know that it's quiet and I won't have any problems like the Arket Cafe. I travelled to London, Birmingham, Crewe and Salford and in doing so was able to demonstrate how sensory overload, poor city planning can all contribute to difficult situations. I'm passionate about making the world a better place for everyone. For as long as I can remember, I've always had a powerful story to tell about my life and after a year of planning and developing ideas, I came up with the idea for My Life on Camera. The film shows a unique view of the world through the eyes of a creative person with autism. As well as making my voice heard, I hope to inspire other people to make positive social changes worldwide", the creator explained.

My Life On Camera premiered at the Mockingbird Cinema in Digbeth, on August 10th 2019.

Sib launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to help him cover the cost of this production.
