FAQ:

What is neurodivergent?

Neurodivergent means a brain that diverges. This includes but is not limited to autistic people, people with ADHD, people with learning disabilities, epileptic people, people with mental illnesses, people with MS, people with Parkinsons, people with apraxia, people with cerebral palsy, people with dyspraxia, and people with no specific diagnosis but “wonky lateralization”. (Souce: Neurodivergent K of Radical Neurodivergence Speaking, coiner of the term neurodivergent, https://dahniwitchoflight.wordpress.com/2016/05/21/psa-from-the-actual-coiner-of-neurodivergent/)

Do I have to submit documentation of my diagnosis?

We do not require filmmakers to submit any documentation of their diagnosis. This is not only because we are using the honor system, but because we believe that self diagnosis is valid.
