All events are free and open to the public, including the Neurodiverse Culture Festival. Open captioning and ASL interpretation will be provided at the film screening. Any additional accommodations are upon request.

Film Summary: In this profoundly personal mixed media experience inside the ADHD mind, NEURODIVERGENT (dir. Afton Quast Saler) follows the filmmaker’s journey as she discovers her ADHD diagnosis during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. From Post-it notes to magnets, keys, pens, rubber bands, and receipts, the unorganized chaos of a junk drawer is the perfect representation of what Afton Quast Saler’s brain feels like every day. Growing up, she knew she wasn’t like the other kids but never really understood why, and doctors didn’t seem to be much help. She was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, rapid cycle bipolar, fibromyalgia, addiction disorders, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, insomnia, and dyslexia – but none of those diagnoses felt right.
Parking: Free parking onsite.
Accommodations: If accommodations are required to participate in the film event, please contact RFF: Cleveland & Akron at:
