Movie Meet-Up - Double Feature

Patriot Hills Center - Board Room

Saturday, April 4th, 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Neurodivergent - In this mixed media experience inside the neurodivergent mind, follow the filmmaker’s journey as she discovers her ADHD diagnosis during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Growing up, she knew she wasn’t like the other kids but never understood why, and doctors didn’t seem to be much help. After getting the correct diagnosis and understanding her mind better, she recognizes that her life-long pattern of negative thoughts and feelings were not the result of the learning disability itself but rather the shame of not being able to fully inhabit her genuine self.
