VOICES​

​We hope you enjoy watching our short documentary titled Voices: Listeners in the Noise. Feel free to watch the trailer and request a screening below. 

Voices: Listeners in the Noise film documentary shares first-hand narratives that reveal how urban soundscapes affect autistic individuals, raising awareness and inspiring more inclusive cities.

​​​​​

The interviews’ transcripts result in a research project that advances knowledge on how ASD/ND individuals experience urban environments and how collaborative efforts between neurodivergent and neurotypical communities alongside professionals in art, design, technology, and healthcare can contribute to the creation of more inclusive, autism-friendly spaces. The coding of the “Voices” interviews aims to offer insights for designers, planners, and policymakers and contribute actionable research on this critical topic.​
