Abstract
In my study, ‘Facing the Wrong Way’, I ask: how can museums consider and affectively respond to the needs of neurodiverse visitors? In my creative, practice-led and auto-ethnographic approach, I discuss my research on neurodiversity-related museum collections and exhibitions at Australia’s Museum Victoria (MV). My presentation incorporates poetry, film and experimental soundscape to portray my own lived experience of neurodiversity and the feelings and sensations I experience in museum settings.
