Our Story
Exceptional Minds
Exploring and developing better ways of supporting and valuing neurodivergence in the creative industries.
Exceptional Minds, led by Unquiet Media, is a Research and Development (R+D) project aimed at exploring the specific barriers faced by us neurodivergent individuals within our sector; developing better practices and policies to support our different access requirements and to value our unique strengths - to help ensure equity for current and future generations.
Project Aims
To address existing stigmas and misconceptions around hidden differences
To advise and assist in creating more accessible work environments and processes
To amplify neurodivergent voices within our industry
To evolve a legacy that ensures more diverse, inclusive, and equitable representation of these often forgotten populations, both in front of and behind the camera
Who is it for?
These resources are not just for employers - they are for anyone in the Creative Industries interested in increasing their awareness and understanding of neurodivergence and fostering a culture of equity and inclusion within the workplace.
This includes Company Directors and Leaders, Managers, Directors, Producers, Heads of Departments, Supervisors, Employees, Freelancers, Team Members - everyone who plays an active part in our sector!
While we strongly believe that the responsibility should not be on the individual to change who they are to fit into a neurotypical world, we have also outlined some guidance for neurodivergent Creatives to help you navigate our often tricky sector!
