📱 eBook en inglés WHAT I (DON'T) KNOW ABOUT AUTISM

A sometimes comic, sometimes heartbreaking journey into the world of autism.

Sandra is looking for love. Gordon is seeking acceptance. Simon just wants these parents to stop talking for two minutes so he can get on with teaching their kids.

And Casper? Casper is not here.

Jody ONeills play What I (Dont) Know About Autism mixes narrative, song, dance and direct address to explore this contentious and often misunderstood subject matter.

Inspired by the writers own experiences with autism, the play celebrates autistic identity whilst offering deeper insight and understanding to non-autistic audiences.

What I (Dont) Know About Autism was co-produced by Jody ONeill and the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in association with The Everyman, Cork, and Mermaid County Wicklow Arts Centre, Bray. It was first performed, with all relaxed performances and a cast of autistic and non-autistic actors, on the Abbeys Peacock Stage, in February 2020, before touring.

The play won the Best Theatre Script Award at the 2021 Writers Guild of Irelands Zebbie Awards.
