Nearly 20% of the world is believed to be neurodiverse. And yet, for so many, neurodivergence is still seen as negative, and sensory sensitivities are seen as strange—perceptions based in outdated stereotypes and a fundamental lack of understanding of what these things mean, and the spectrum of how they can manifest. It’s about time to shift those perceptions.
The documentary, SENSORY OVERLOAD, aims to do exactly that, helping to rewrite the narrative around neurodivergence and sensory sensitivity by telling the true stories of individuals who prove that these aren’t deficiencies—they’re just differences.
Through the stories told, viewers will gain a better understanding of how all brains function. We’ll witness the ways neurodiversity can be a superpower, how it exists on a spectrum that touches so many of us, and how a deeper understanding of neurodiversity can help to create a more inclusive—and wonderfully sensitive—world for everyone. This isn’t just a film about the neurodivergent spectrum; it’s about the spectrum of human experience.
Directed by Kiana Moore and produced by Vox Creative’s Epic Stories team. This film is 56 minutes long.
Our discussion facilitators will be Dr. Danielle Bratton, Assistant Professor of Special Education, and Ms. Shawnna Sundberg, Assistant Lecturer of Applied Behavior Analysis.
