About the event:

CRU is delighted to host the international online premier of a new short film on the life and experience of CRU’s long-time friend and associate, Rodney Mills.

This powerful film tells the story of how Rodney Mills, a non-verbal man with lived experience of Autism and OCD, began to create a meaningful life for himself. Struggling to communicate and be understood, Rodney was underestimated and written off by many people due to his many behaviours including ‘running’ away.

His story reveals how the unwavering support of his family and enlightened support has allowed hopes and dreams to be filled.

Join CRU for the online premiere of Rodney’s new film, plus a live Q&A with Rodney Mills!

This online screening is free to attend and will not be recorded. It will be broadcast from Brisbane, Australia from 5.30pm AEST (UTC +10).

About the Presenter:

For many years, Rodney Mills was put in the ‘too hard basket’ because he was exhibiting ‘challenging behaviours’ on an almost daily basis.

Today Rodney is a professional consultant, teacher and trainer, who worked for 10 years in a paid job at the organisation that used to support him.

Rodney runs his own business and presents at conferences and workshops. In his work he shares insights about living with Autism and OCD and how he has gradually built a meaningful life where he is no longer defined by these labels and by ‘behaviour’

Who Should Attend?

This film is for everyone and will be of great interest to people with lived experience of non-verbal Autism, complex communication and OCD, their families, friends, allies, workers and professionals and students.
