  1. I was able to get an early draft for the season finale episode of A Kind of Spark:

    "We won't have to deal with the Witch Hunter anymore."

    "How come?"

    [The Witch Hunter, as a newt]: "This witch turned me into a newt!"

    [A general:] "This sketch has gotten too silly. Stop the sketch! Stop it!"

  2. OMG! This scene where Mom accidentally sets off the smoke alarm while baking and the sisters automatically rush to help each other put their ANC headphones on! 💗

    The recording of Friday's conversation with author Elle McNicoll is now online. She chatted with @ferrous for about an hour about neurodiversity, representation and the power of stories, among other things. Enjoy!

    Have you seen that #AKindOfSpark is now on TV? Many of the cast and crew members are autistic, and they've done an amazing job in adapting it. It's on CBBC and the iPlayer. Here's a taster:

  7. My #autistic daughter and I are so enjoying watching #AKindOfSpark. A beautiful story, with many #neurodivergent cast and crew members. It's on #CBBC and the #iPlayer, and also in the US and Canada.

    “I said to the BBC, it has to be autistic-led. There’s this expression: ‘#Diversity is being invited to be party, #inclusivity is being asked to dance’. But what if we threw the party? What if it was our party?” Elle McNicoll.

  9. I feel quite spoiled for #autistic content and characters at the moment:

    - I started watching #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo and I am LOVING it

    - I found #ElleMcnicoll's brilliant #AKindOfSpark in the #library, and devoured it whole - the first #fiction #book
    I've finished in years

    - I (belatedly) read #HannahGadsby's article about her late-diagnosis #autism (whole sections of which I could apply to my own life with barely a word changed)

    - I (very belatedly - only 10 years late) binge-watched #SomeGirls on #BBCIplayer and am already missing the characters - especially #ND Saz

    Well done, world - keep it up!

    Just read ‘A Kind Of Spark’ by Elle McNicoll and everyone at the #BookClub loved it. I had no idea what it was like, I think it’s seriously underrated.

    Someone at the group was going to buy lots of copies to give away to their friends, as a primer on #Autism and how we experience the world, it’s that good!

  15. @Lilly_Jade_ Everyone kept mentioning it, and tbh I didn’t want to read it, but I’m glad I did because it’s so powerful, I have been so surprised.

    It is a great book, I now understand why so many people recommended it to me.

    I’m always on the lookout for books that I can recommend to those who know nothing about #Autism and this is one of them. I hope you like it! (thank-you #BookClub members for persuading me to read it!)
