In Seeing the Unseen, directors Kristján Kristjánsson and Bjarney Lúðvíksdóttir examine the underrepresentation of women in the clinical diagnoses of Autism in Iceland. Through interviews with prominent healthcare practitioners and advocates, diagnostic and policy disparities are exposed. A number of Autistic women and their families discuss how these inequities impact their lives and the power of proper diagnosis, support, and community.
