Nico De Leon - Neurodiversity and The Unfiltered College Experience
Neurodiversity and The Unfiltered College Experience is a short film documentary.
Neurodiversity and The Unfiltered College Experience is a short film documentary, about the creator's decision to reflect on their journey in the last four years of attending university, wondering if they missed a chance to understand something deeper about themselves, and how it might have negatively affected their work-life balance while pursuing further education. To accomplish the goal of seeking further knowledge about neurodiversity and other university experiences a series of interviews with peers and people who are or aren't neurodivergent are conducted, to see how their university experiences / work-life balance differ from one another, as well as interviewing student counsellors within the TUD Blanchardstown Campus to hear how they help students with their mental health, educational journey and accomplishing day to day tasks.
