Useful resource created by drama therapists: Sensory is a film project about autistic people’s experiences of hospitals. It is a fictional film, but it is grounded in the real stories and experiences of East London Foundation Trust (ELFT) staff, patients and service users. The film was co-produced with autistic people, staff, and carers, and it has a fully neurodivergent cast. It is a collaboration between the University of Bristol project ‘Sensing Spaces of Healthcare’, ELFT, and Inner Eye Productions. Overall, Sensory aims to harness the power of storytelling to represent autistic people’s hospital encounters.
