Understanding Autism & Neurodiversity through digital theatre
Education Resources for

Impersonal Space is a theatre work developed by Company AT, an all-Autistic theatre company. The performance is a unique, full-hearted and funny look at how Autistic people see the world. Impersonal Space tells the story of 'Nameless', a nine-year-old girl who feels isolated, sad and confused until a medical diagnosis reveals the truth – she is Autistic.
