This is Not About Me

 Take a look into the life of Jordyn Zimmerman- a 26-year-old non-speaking autistic woman. Spend time with her, her family, and others as they recount her experiences growing up. Follow her on her journey from running away from school when she was unable to communicate to finishing high school in a year and pursuing degrees in Education to improve the education system. While this documentary follows Jordyn’s experiences, they are similar to many others across the world. This Is Not About Me shows us what happens when we judge someone based on what they can or can’t say, and what can happen when educators foster an inclusive education culture by presuming competence.
