Episode 26 - Representation Matters

from The Acting Up Podcast Hosted by Acting Up with Ali Goodman

Episode 26 - Representation Matters - We've come a long way in representing folx with special needs on TV, in films, on stage, and in art in general. But are we actually representing them fairly? This week I explore a few shows that I feel do a good job addressing the world of special needs (Autism and Down Syndrome, most specifically) yet, I also explain how mostly black and white the examples are. And how we are better aware, now, so it's time to explore the grayer areas - the more realistic representations of autism within the home or within the school setting. I'd love to hear what shows you feel have done a just or unjust job of representation with special needs (not just autism but anything you want to share!) And please find me on facebook and Instagram at Ali: Real-to-Reel and share your thoughts there!
