What I (Don’t) Know About Autism

Powerfully challenging assumptions and celebrating autistic identity, What I (Don’t) Know About Autism comes to the Arts Theatre this March.

  • 29th March 2026 - 29th March 2026
  • 7:30 pm

Autism and ADHD affect many people in the UK, yet lived experience remains poorly understood.

Playwright Jody O’Neill’s What I (Don’t) Know About Autism takes audiences on a vivid theatrical journey through powerful, non-linear stories inspired by real life. The play challenges assumptions while celebrating the strengths and creativity of the neurodivergent community.

Performed by a local cast of neurodivergent young actors, the show moves between comedy and darker moments, blending narrative and direct address to explore autism with honesty and humour. A celebration of autistic identity, it also offers non-autistic audiences fresh insight.

There is a 20-minute Q&A after the show.
