What I (Don’t) Know About Autism

This is a film screening of the 2021 play of What I (Don’t) Know About Autism. The play is a sometimes comic, sometimes heart-breaking journey into the world of autism, performed by autistic and non-autistic actors.

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.

Inspired by the writer Jody O’Neill’s own experiences with autism, the play celebrates autistic identity whilst offering deeper insight and understanding to non-autistic audiences.

The screening will be followed by a discussion featuring Jody O’Neill, an award-winning autistic writer for theatre and screen, and also a performer and disability advocate; and Hanna Slättne, a Dramaturg, Researcher and Facilitator with practice-based PhD research in storytelling for immersive audio. Hanna received the Kenneth Tynan Award for Excellence in Dramaturgy (2016).

What I (Don’t) Know About Autism is a co-production with the Abbey Theatre, funded by the Arts Council Ireland. For more information visit   aboutautism.ie
