Thank you for sharing this wonderful news about Connor Curren's role in "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time." It's heartening to see the National Theatre's commitment to inclusivity and providing opportunities for actors with neurodiversity. It's a significant step toward diversity and representation in the entertainment industry.

I first saw the play when I was 16 with my high school drama class and with Scott Reid as Christopher. Five years later and with a diagnosis myself, going to see this play again when it comes to Edinburgh next month will mean so much more especially if it's one of Connor's performances.

I read a book, good read, some generic autistic traits clearly visible, including the way he thinks

it won't be easy for him

portraying autistic even if you are with all the pressure

fingers crossed and all kudos

I've just seen this on the ITV news.

Well done on getting the lead roll Connor.

Break a leg!
