Neurotypical

“Neurotypical” offers a groundbreaking look into autism through the perspectives of those who experience it firsthand. The film follows four-year-old Violet, teenager Nicholas, and adult Paula, each representing different points on the autism spectrum, as they navigate significant life transitions. Their interactions with the people around them highlight the ways in which they manage perceptual and behavioral differences, providing a fascinating mirror to the “neurotypical” or non-autistic world. This exploration unveils creative adaptations from both sides and prompts a deeper examination of the concepts of normalcy and humanity.
