welcome to our
‘being me’
gallery space!
Here you’ll find a growing collection of brilliant things made by autistic and neurodivergent people in our Being Me community.
We made a zine!
In Spring 2025 we ran a short ‘Digital Being Me’ project. We worked in collaboration with extraordinary autistic artists, creatives and two magnificent digital artists who opened our eyes to new ways to play creatively with digital tools.
Our artistic team have worked together to create a zine in response to the prompt explored during the project 'what is your perfect space?'.
The 16 page zine has contributions from our Being Me team, who have explored the prompt. We also have creative invitations and guidance from our digital artists to help you to explore new creative tools at home.
Fancy a zine in the post?
Simply head to our page on People’s Fundraising, make a donation of £1 (or more if you fancy) and we’ll send over a copy to you in one of our beautiful purple envelopes.

What makes you feel joyful, buzzy or calm? This is what our participants were invited to think about as they designed their ideal space for their own way of being. Their ideal spaces were created in small cardboard boxes, which our digital artists then digitized to turn into our Being Me House!

Being Me will be landing in people’s homes in newspaper form in Autumn 2025. The newspaper is co-produced with our Being Me community and all of the content will be designed with and by autistic people - YAY!
The newspaper is in development and we are looking for autistic girls, young women and non-binary people who would like to get involved.
Being involved in The Newspaper could mean:
writing an article
making some artwork
designing a puzzle
joining The Newsroom (a hybrid space to be with other autistic young people to share ideas about the paper)
receiving a newspaper in the post
== the newsroom ==
We recently hosted our first ever Newsroom. The Newsroom gives young people the space to think about and develop their ideas with us about what should be in our newspaper. It’s our version of a Youth Trustee Board.
The Newsroom was, and will always be hosted in person, and online. This helps us to make sure we’re connecting with as many people as possible.
Below you’ll see the thoughts developed in our first Newsroom … watch this space to find out how these ideas look in our newspaper!
