Me and My ADHD (2024), film still

About this Short Film

Me and My ADHD (Cleveland District State High School, Australia, 2024) is a thoughtful short that explores attention, distraction and cognitive processing within a school context. It examines how checklists, friendships and moments of isolation shape a teenager's perception of themselves and their surroundings. Rather than claiming a single narrative, the film offers a personal viewpoint on ADHD and everyday strategies used to cope with difference. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it adds a young, honest voice to conversations about ability, inclusion and the small practices that help people navigate school and friendship.
