'I'm Autistic and Also That B!tch' tells the story of Rayn, a twenty-five-year-old woman that has recently been diagnosed with autism. She has visited her NHS Psychiatrist seeking support options, however, quickly learns there isn’t any support available for late diagnosed adults.

In an effort to educate the audience, Rayn introduces the imaginary figure of Hans Asperger, the Austrian physicist and controversial figure whose name is linked to the term 'Asperger’s Syndrome.' Together, they explore Hans Asperger's complicated history, particularly his involvement with the Nazi regime. But Hans isn’t just a historical figure, he's also a manifestation of Rayn’s special interest… drag queens.

Please be advised that this film contains strong language, as well as references to suicide and euthanasia.

Influences: Jojo Rabbit(2019), Chewing Gum (C4), Alma’s Not Normal (BBC2)
