What's Consent? by Alpha and Zeta ("No Cup of Tea, Please")
Channel: nednednerB the Schizophrenic

Just like Cartoon Monsters, Human people have their own choices to make and do not want others to make their choices, or take them away. What would you do if someone didn't want what you wanted to give them, even if you really wanted it to happen??

We made this inspired by Blue Cat Studios that used refusing a cup of tea as an analogy for saying no. 
We encourage you to check them out on YouTube! (Search for "tea consent" as a starter!

This short video was made by two people. One of them has schizophrenia. One of them has autism. We are different in different ways! We contributed to this video in unique and fun ways.

We welcome you to share this video, with the hashtag, #ThatsCalledConsent

Share with your becoming literate children. Consent is all ages appropriate!

Dialogue:

Alpha: Hey, would you like a cup of tea?

Zeta: Oh, I'd rather not today, Alpha..

Alpha: But! You did the other day, Zeta.

Zeta: I don't need to, every day.

Alpha: But you liked it and said you did.

Zeta: Oh it is true. I do like it most days.

Alpha: Then why not today? I really want to give some to you. Are you sure, Zeta?

Zeta: Just don't feel like it right now. Maybe later though..

Alpha: Ah! I see your point now. Maybe later.

Zeta: Aw, thanks Alpha.

Alpha: You're welcome!

Zeta: Thanks for respecting my choices. That's consent! __
