I have always felt out of place from my peers growing up because I live with autism spectrum disorder. The theatre program taught me that it’s ok to be different. I was recently accepted into Therapeutic Recreation in university. I intend to begin work on my project, bringing together people that are both neurodiverse and neurotypical, and those with other disabilities, to perform theatre by giving each participant a chance to shine.
