Animated Films

We make amazing autism animated films! We create very thought-provoking and charming short films and explainer videos to help the world understand autism.

We've won awards for our "powerful and urgent films".

Our films really explain everything about autism! Everyone will take away different things from them.

See the world from the perspective of The Girl With The Curly Hair, the autistic character, as she tries to live and work in a neurotypical society.

Our videos are available for our Subscribers, if you are not a subscriber to The Curly Hair Project, please click here.

Endorsed by the world’s leading psychologist, Professor Tony Attwood

“The animations provide an insight into the inner thoughts, feelings and experiences of someone who has autism. The script, scenes, speech and thought bubbles all convey the struggle to understand aspects of everyday life that are confusing and often overwhelming. At the end of watching each animation there is a feeling of “I understand now” and a greater appreciation of what it is like to have autism. The animations will be invaluable for parents and teachers from primary and secondary school as well as University lecturers. Those who have autism will resonate with the central character and want everyone to watch the animation that describes their day.”

The films are a big team effort and we are privileged to be supported by some very skilled and talented people. Meet the animation team
