Autism – Drama and The kiddo

LOL!! Those two words are inextricably linked.  I say with a smile on my face. I love my son.  I have hopeful thoughts about the Theatre arts ensemble he has joined. I’m thinking. Boy I hope he has fun! I hope he discovers and learns some stuff about who he is/self development stuff. I thought the role play would be good as he likes repeating sequences which conceivably is good for “learning your lines in a play or am I just damned  kidding myself?!” 😎
This avenue began because we went to see a theatre show one night some months ago at the True North Youth Theatre Ensemble, a show called “A kid like me!”. A show that the kiddo was really was inspired by as it was presented in the medium of an X-box, the audience chose the outcome through holding a controller.

My dear son talked loudly in the theatre while the MC (Alirio Zavarce who is  also AD for No strings Attached Youth Theatre Ensemble) was starting the Show. it was a learning for kiddo about theatre etticut and unspoken social rules. Another excellent theatre is part of the Tutti Ensemble  with Company A.T. Where it’s At! with Julian Jaensch
