Unlocking Potential: Autism and Employability
This mini-documentary by David Kline highlights Kabir Boyjoonauth, a 40-year-old man with Autism Spectrum Disorder and his quest for work and independence. We follow Kabir as he navigates daily life, including working in a furniture shop and studying horticulture. Through his father, Raj's unwavering support and the anecdotes of friends and health professionals alike, the film charts Kabir's experience and advocates for employers to at least recognise, and ideally accept, the often-overlooked potential within a neurodiverse workforce. The film has added importance given the increase in ableism and attacks on equality, diversity and inclusion.
The film is currently in production and is independently funded.
