Neurodivergent Windows: Animated Documentary Series about Lived Experiences of Neurodivergent Adults

Kolesnyk, Olia

This work explores the potential of creative storytelling as a tool for emotional support, identity-building, and narrative advocacy among neurodivergent adults, particularly those who are self-diagnosed or late-diagnosed. By combining an animated documentary with audio-visual elements and lived first-person experiences, the project gives voice to the subjective realities of neurodivergent individuals. Based on qualitative research, narrative therapy, and co-creation methodologies, the thesis bridges the gap between scientific knowledge and personal stories, offering a participatory and human-centered perspective. The book aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and foster a sense of belonging among neurodivergent audiences while highlighting the importance of inclusive and creative approaches to neurodiversity research.
