Director Statement

As producers, it is our responsibility to authentically amplify the voices of the communities we serve. With this series, we aim to use positive representation of autistic and neurodivergent characters to tell an impactful and meaningful story. Neurodivergent individuals were directly involved in every aspect of production, from development all the way through to post-production. We hope this project will resonate with both autistic and non-autistic audiences, and pave the way for more stories like this to be told in the future.
