Deej is a 2017 documentary of the story of DJ Savarese, an American autistic activist who is nonspeaking and uses alternative and augmentative communication methods, in his daily life as a high school student preparing for transition to higher education.[1][2]



Background


The film was directed by Robert Rooy and David James Savarese, known as DJ or Deej.[3][1] Savarese is co-creator and co-producer of the documentary, which was filmed primarily in Iowa. The film emphasizes Savarese's goal of promoting communication access for all nonspeaking autistic people, as part of the neurodiversity movement.[4]


Savarese was adopted from the foster care system and diagnosed early in life as autistic.[5] As a child, Savarese and his adoptive parents struggled to ensure his inclusion in the local public school system.[6] Eventually winning the right for Savarese to receive education in public schools, Savarese and his parents framed their challenges as a civil rights struggle against ableism.[2][7][5] Since the events featured in Deej, Savarese attended and graduated from Oberlin College.[7][8]


Deej aired nationally on PBS in October 2017.[9]
