The Autistic Wonder

10- Minute: Mild-mannered Peter is a typical neurotypical, but when danger strikes that requires a specialized knowledge of niche subjects, he drinks his Tylenol and vaccine brew to become... THE AUTISTIC WONDER. And it's great that the Autistic Wonder can help fix things, but they should really leave and bring Peter back.

The Autistic Wonder

Recommended by

  • Roni Ragone: The Autistic Wonder

    “You haven’t heard the last of me!” “I’ll hear more from you later, as you seem to pop up a lot in my life.” In just 10 minutes, Smith brings us to a colorful world with big belly laughs followed by yanks on the heart immediately after. I am always impressed with the amount of emotional real-estate Smith is able to capture in even short plays, and I truly cannot wait to see a full production of this delightful yet incredibly honest piece.

    Autism may be someone’s superpower. But even Superman had enemies. Smith’s ten-minute satire smartly subverts and skewers this trope, questioning if a capitalist society is truly capable of seeing Autistic folks beyond their behaviors and diagnosis.

  • Alexander Perez: The Autistic Wonder

    A wry but charming lampoon on autistic identity both from within and in regards to societal expectations. Smith furtively expresses the push and pull every autistic person feels when masking for the sake of others in a way that is accessible to those who may not fully relate on paper.
