What an excellent gal

I don’t think I’ve ever been more profoundly affected by a piece of art as I was today. So powerfully, brutally raw. I sobbed tears of sadness & laughter. Thank you Prof Ryan for allowing Stephen Unwin to take Connor’s magical, beautiful life & express this on stage #LaughingBoy

Outside of the words (what is the WEAKNESS), having that many different colored dry-erase markers in the apocalypse is SO FUNNY to me.

A few days later & I'm still thinking about 'Laughing Boy' a lot.

As an autistic person, as a SEND commissioner, as a human... there was so much for me to take away from it: from Connor, from his loved ones.
