We are thrilled to introduce Dear Grandpa, It’s Michael, a groundbreaking web series that brings the unique experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum to the forefront. This heartfelt series follows Michael Whitell, a young man diagnosed with autism, as he navigates life’s challenges with courage, determination, and a spirit that defies expectations.
At the core of Dear Grandpa, It’s Michael is a commitment to authenticity and inclusivity. Nearly half of our cast and crew are on the autism spectrum, offering an unparalleled depth of understanding and perspective. The series is not just a portrayal of Michael’s journey but a platform to celebrate the diverse talents and capabilities of individuals with autism.
Michael’s story is one of triumph over adversity. From being told he might never speak or live independently, Michael has exceeded all expectations, graduating from college, securing a job, and living a full, independent life. His journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community support.
Through this series, we aim to educate, inspire, and foster a greater understanding of autism. We believe that by sharing Michael’s story, we can break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and promote a more inclusive society where everyone’s voice is heard and valued.
Join us on this incredible journey as we work to create a world where differences are celebrated, and everyone has the opportunity to shine.
