What does neurodivergence look like on set?

The film and TV industry attracts a disproportionately high number of neurodivergent people. And yet it remains one of the least-adapted working environments for them.

The focus puller who responds bluntly on the radio isn't being difficult. The production coordinator who misses an update on a chaotic shooting day isn't disorganised. The camera assistant who disappears between setups isn't skiving.

These are neurodivergent brains doing exactly what they need to do to keep functioning, in an environment that was never designed with them in mind.

We've written about what neurodivergence actually looks like on a film set, why it gets so consistently misread, and what genuinely helps. Not generic diversity guidance but specific to how this industry works.
