À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
In this episode of Theatrically Authentic, Sarah Atherton-Knight and Simon Scott explore what happens when audiences recognise neurodivergence in a character… but the script never says it out loud.
From beloved fan favourites to controversial portrayals, they discuss why certain characters resonate so deeply with neurodivergent audiences — and where the line exists between meaningful representation and harmful caricature.
Along the way, Simon and Sarah unpack echolalia, justice sensitivity, hyperfocus, catastrophising, masking, sensory overwhelm, and why so many neurodivergent performers are drawn to emotionally heightened storytelling.
