West Lynn actor Jordan Winn creates film about his journey through education without an autism diagnosis

A 23-year-old West Lynn actor is hoping to provide support for youngsters by creating a film portraying his life in education with autism.

Jordan Winn has written, produced and filmed his very own short movie titled ‘My Brain, My World’ with an aim of reducing the feeling of isolation for neurodiverse children.

After being diagnosed with autism last year, Jordan wanted to share his experience in the education system by showing in the film how he was treated at school.

In the process, Jordan wants to raise awareness of autism and help the families of youngsters who are trying to or are in the process of getting a diagnosis.

Jordan said: “I've always wanted to turn my story into a short film.

“Finally in July last year, I got my autism diagnosis. I knew it was time to share my story and raise awareness.”

Jordan’s film is estimated to come out in September, and a trailer for ‘My Brain, My World’ is available to watch on YouTube.

Jordan added: “I'm also really passionate about raising awareness for autism and helping people understand it better.

“I've also done this without any funding. It's all of my own bat. That's how serious and important this is to me.”

“My main goal is to help younger neurodiverse kids to not feel so alone or feel they don't have anyone fighting in their corner.

“I want to be that voice for the youngsters. I want them to have someone on their side that actually understands how they feel every single day.”

At the end of the month, Jordan will be a guest speaker at the 2024 Neurodiversity Visible festival held at The Forum in Norwich on August 30.
