My 17 year old ds has just re-joint his old am-dram after having a year off. They have just done the audition rounds for their latest production. My son decided that he wanted to try out for a part. I so happen to be a member of the same group as well, so watched the auditions. I thought his audition was good (don’t get me wrong it wasn’t earth changing but he was definitely no wrost then anyone else).Once the cast list was reviled it transpired that every member that audition for a main part got one apart from my son.
AIBU to think that this could be due to my sons autism (high functioning) and that the committee don’t trust him. I know a lot of members are either related or work with autistic kids that are fairly severe and I can’t help but think they see my son (who is extremely mature and independent) in the same light and have a pre-conceived idea about the disability.
