b'(suspended brain, projections): Are you projecting other people\\u2019s ideas all over my neurology? Head in the clouds, raising my consciousness with the help of the tech team, making my MRI 3D.\\n---\\nSociety can project a lot of harmful stereotypes onto the autistic community. We commonly experience a world where people don\\u2019t understand our responses.\\n\\nI want to project a future where autism is valued and stimming is seen as beautiful. I want to project my values of inclusivity onto you.\\n\\nI hope this is a visual stim for you, or a conceptual stim - if such a thing exists. I think it does! I think that\\u2019s why I like theoretical ideas and poetry. In other words, I hope you are co-regulating with my art - and if you are, I\\u2019m co-regulating with you.\\n\\nOne of the reasons I like art so much is it is a way we can co-regulate with minorities, or with people in very different demographics, and collectively take responsibility for reconstructing and updating our society.\\n\\nConcept, Filming & Editing: Mishka\\nFilm Contributor/ Model: Catherine Smyth-McMullen\\nCollaborating Video Editor: Mish Szekelyhidi'
