The Breakdown of Movies’ Impact on My Neurodivergence

This week, Christopher Spicer dives into his neurodivergence and the role movies have played in shaping it. He discusses special interests, how film influenced the way he masked, his connection to outsiders on screen, and why Hollywood still struggles to authentically portray “geeky” or neurodivergent-coded characters. Movies have also been a refuge and safe place, and Christopher explores that deeply personal connection here. If you’re curious about who Christopher is, or you want to see movies through a neurodivergent lens, this is a must-listen episode.
