Thank you! Read Clean Room!
On that note though, you need to write more spooky stuff. You’re VERY good at it. 10/10 would definitely buy.

Making the transition my interview requests from performers and content creators with open contact info to dealing with publicists and the like. It's a whole different animal. #autism #acting

Hi @kaylacromer.bsky.social! I'm writing a book about acting with autism and I was wondering if you'd be interested in being interviewed for it. DM me. I'll try and contact you through your management if I don't hear from you. Thank you!

If an autistic person infodumps about something to you, chances are it means they feel very comfortable around you

Book update!

I'm going to broaden my search for interviees to include actors with ADHD, both because a lot of the neurology is the same, and because a lot of people (especially women) who identify as ADHD are in fact AuDHD and either don't know it or are reluctant to identify as autistic.

Acting can be simply another form of masking. So it can potentially be approached as a craft with great freedom and confidence by people who are good at masking... although that's not the way it's usually taught. #acting #autism

Thinking about that time I ran Music From a Darkened Room for Delta Green and the Agents asked their Handler for [the thing that can solve the problem] and then I thought what if I said "yes, and..." and had a bewildered US Marshall show up with [the thing] and that made it 100 times harder on them.

Finding way more openly #autistic #actors in the UK than in the US. I wonder why...

Autistic? Actor? NOT comfortable with people knowing that first part? Not a problem! I'm happy to do an anonymous interview for my book. Confidentiality assured.

That part of your story - the fact that you feel like you have to mask your ND - is important. And I can't tell it without you.

Why are #neurodivergent actors better than neurotypical ones?

Not for just for ND roles, but period?

First interview down for my book on #acting with #autism! Smart, well-considered stuff, at once both deeply personal and incredibly familiar. AN suspicious beginning, indeed.

And then there are those precious moments, when we are most clear of mind and unfettered of spirit, when we accept ourselves for who we truly are and just order more underwear from Amazon.

For me, acting has always just been masking where someone gave me a really precise, detailed script, I got to rehearse it a lot, and then people would applaud when I did it. No wonder I've tried to make a career of it.

I once taught a Fellow Adult how to treat a blister and they reacted like I was sharing the Secret of Fire and now I tell people about moleskin at every opportunity including the ones that have nothing to do with moleskin because dopamine is a hell of a drug.

I may have just talked myself into writing a book about acting with autism. Anybody know anybody else working in this space?

It's at times like this that I'm really grateful for my "don't get a tattoo of someone else's IP" rule. There's a place where I've been tempted to put a displacer beast for a long time that I could be VERY grateful for soon.
every time I think "well probably this one single, solitary tiny thing that brings me a modicum of joy in between the desperation and despair in my life won't get ruined" I pick up my phone and something like this happens
