2024 for Autistic Acceptance.
Being autistic is fundamental to who I am. It’s part of why I don’t use terminology like person with autism, because it’s not a part of me that can be pulled from me. Not even just mentally, but physically as well. My body doesn’t move like everyone else, and my brain isn’t wired like them either. I’m clumsy, walk like a duck and often move in an almost Frankenstein’s monster sort of way. Taking autism from me would make me a completely different person entirely. So why wouldn’t it be rooted in my works? Even in my fictional stories, I like to imagine at least one of my characters being neurodivergent. Write what you know, is what I’ve heard time and time again. I like to combine what I know along with the unknown, things strange and unusual. My experiences combined with the supernatural or even just daily life. I want to continue to embroider bits of my autistic identity into each written work I create.

Poor Things is far from a Poor FilmTop Story - December 2023
Poor Things is the latest film from Yorgos Lanthimos, who previously brought us such films as the shocking and feral Dogtooth, the power play of the Favourite and the twisted & at times terrifying Killing of a Sacred Deer. Lantimos returns with an entirely new vision, something almost familiar and yet fresh and unseen. A Victorian tapestry splattered with a vibrant colorful steampunk layer.
