The first issue is out now! Access for FREE here.
Jenny Loughran (Celebrating the Neurodiversity programme) and Callum Brazzo (Autistic Led) are developing an Autistic led quarterly magazine called Autistic Revolution.
They intend to become a constituted group so they are able to pay Autistic contributors. Too often Autistic people are asked to take part in voluntary work when our expert knowledge is invaluable. The hope is Autistic Revolution will provide employment for those in the UK and further afield – Autistic content creators, editors and writers.
They are looking for a core team to develop and produce work which celebrates and reframes Autistic experience, including: passions and hobbies, stims and sensory integration, book reviews, Autistic artists, gaming, Global Majority experiences, non-speaking experiences etc.
I shall be running the LGBTQIA+ page and have had some amazing people contact me about getting involved. I’m still looking for contributors. I know that the non-speaking and Global Majority pages are too.
It’s now Dec 2024 and Autistic Revolution has come a long way!
The magazine is now run by Jenny Loughran (Founder and Editor in Chief) Jennifer I. Huffman (Associate Editor) and Laura Hellfeld (Associate Editor).
The magazine is now a Community Interest Company (CIC) meaning Jenny and the team are looking into funding streams and revenue generation.
Autistic Revolution is a magazine, blog and events space. And there are many ideas and areas of expansion to come in 2025.
We are currently working on the fourth issue, due in Winter 2025. The third issue is currently out and can be viewed for free online or purchased as a hard copy. See a video of me opening my hard copy 🙂
