I am teaching theatre this year and had a young lady audition. As we began working on the show, I noticed that her social skills were not particularly strong but had placed her in a small scene ensemble from The Scottish Play . The student director is a compassionate student who walked her through each step . The student director would talk with me after each rehearsal to clarify or modify. In passing one of the guidance and counseling staff members stopped to chat and shared that the young lady was on the autistic spectrum . At a later rehearsal, I found the young lady playing video games on the phone with other cast members during a break and marveled at the easy and unknowing acceptance and what it had unveiled. |
