Join Deirdre Nic Sitric for the screening of "Seeing the Unseen," an 82 minute Icelandic film about women on the autism spectrum (ASD).

Women and girls often go undiagnosed with Autism and struggle for years with their non-visible disabilities with little or no support. The film follows several adult women who receive assessments after facing a lifetime of stigma and shame related to their neurological differences, but who now find understanding with women who have similar experiences. The film is in Icelandic with English subtitles. It touches on sexual violence and disability, and features beautiful Icelandic music and scenery. The screening will be followed by a discussion moderated by Deirdre Nic Sitric, Founder and Lead Consultant at Autism Champions, an independent training and advocacy service based in Oxfordshire.

Room TBC (Max 30)
