I want to give a shout out for Thomas Ryalls' brilliant book that has just come out about theatre and access, particularly neurodivergence, but honestly, also about access for everyone. Strong recommend. Please share around? https://www.nickhernbooks.co.uk/this-book-is-short

This Book is Short: A Toolkit for Creative ADHDers

This Book is Short: A Toolkit for Creative ADHDers; An invaluable guide to achieving success, for anyone with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) who works in the creative sector - and those who work with or support neurodivergent people.
