The film also examines new laws implemented to protect neurodiverse individuals,
many of whom may be unaware of these protections. This docudrama is not only
informative but also incredibly well crafted, made by and for neurodiverse individuals.
The project has garnered significant attention and praise, with quotes from film
workshop participants, Met Police, change grow live, and aided by the NPAA national
Police Autism Association and ADHD Alliance and Anne Clarke AM., London
Assembly states,
“I am pleased to hear about the excellent work you are doing with the
neurodivergent community, especially by supporting Change Grow Live in producing
their short film "Distraction Pack", which draws attention to the challenges faced by
neurodivergent people coming into contact with the criminal justice system.
The film makes very clear that there is still a great deal more to be done to reduce
disadvantages for neurodivergent people, but raising awareness of the issue is an
important first step. I congratulate all those involved in this project, and look forward
to the progress you all make.”
