Atypical Education is an Australian feature-length documentary about the challenges often faced by students on the autism spectrum as they take part in the Australian education system. It covers a wide range of different and often very personal topics that these students and their parents have to deal with, including teaching practices, placement within the system, funding, and bullying. Atypical Education features interviews with the students themselves, as well as with their parents and leading experts in the fields of autism and related disciplines, such as inclusive education and healthcare. More than an insight into a world unknown to many, this documentary aims at supporting structural change for the better in Australian education. A fascinating watch for general audiences and a must-see for students and their parents who feel alone in their daily struggles.
