In my Shoes

About this Short Film

In my Shoes (Shyanne Searley, United Kingdom, 2025) offers a quietly attentive look at perception and viewpoint around autism and cognitive processing differences in children and teenagers. Rather than telling a single story, the short brings together moments that show how sensory experience, social interaction and group dynamics shape understanding. The film complements the Focus on Ability programme by sharing personal perspectives and celebrating diverse ways of being and communicating. Shot with care, it invites audiences to slow down and notice detail, opening space for empathy without simplifying complex experience.
