films with one or more queer disabled characters of colour in main or supporting roles, including chronically ill + neurodivergent perspectives. these experiences can be the focus or incidental to the story, and queerness/neurodivergence especially are somewhat implicit in some of these.

includes problematic portrayals e.g. non-disabled people playing disabled characters — although especially when it comes to invisible disabilities, it’s not always possible to know the actors‘ own lived experiences.
