There is a very interesting Mexican short animated film made by Adriana Bravo and Andrea Robles called "Microftalmia" from 2005 I think. It is a depiction of the mind of Benjamín, a real-life character who suffers from brain malformation, autism, and a condition called microftalmia which causes retinal/ocular anomalies. The imagery of the film is created from the soundtrack which tries to interpret Benjamin's emotional and perceptual experiences by incorporating sounds he himself produces and those from the real world that fascinate him one way or another.

I added some works by Jeff Scher, who I consider a terrific example of animated non fiction in his diaristic pieces. Even works like Fuji, or Buoys and Gulls, by Breer, can be considered non fiction, in the sense of diaries or animated domestic films, if such thing exists. I hope this may help!
