Seeking Comfort In An Uncomfortable Place

THREE NEURODIVERGENT SKATERS OPEN UP ABOUT THEIR STRUGGLES AND THEIR MOMENTS OF PEACE

2022 · 5 min · Documentary

This short documentary follows three neurodivergent skateboarders Chloe (they/them), Kira (they/she) and Meg (she/her) as they share the challenges they have faced, their coping strategies, and how they have found means of expression, escape and a sense of identity within the sport and its community. From triggers around ignorant teaching at an early age, difficulties with over-stimulation and anxieties with socialising, these three skaters show us the trials of finding a personal balance outside the wider population's grasp of routine behaviour.
