Neurodivergence in the cinema

Updated: Nov 7



Have you ever watched a film in which you've felt a deep connection to a character as if they were expressing emotions or experiences that you could never put into words? Or showing a new perspective on an issue, challenging your beliefs and leading to introspection?

Yes, films can do that (as well as books), and a good example is films discussing neurodivergence, which plays a crucial role in validating and understanding diverse experiences.
