it was soo good to listen to Chloe's story, some of her story i can relate to- its so good for me to here story that i can relate to it makes me feel that im not alone and there is others out there and that i shouldn't be embarrassed for who i am. i just love what Chloe does that she advocates for people with disabilities, little me is soo happy for what Chloe is doing. Thanks Chloe Hayden for everything you do, you have helped me so much. My dream is to meet Chloe one day, she just inspires me soo much. Also her book Different not less is amazing i haven't read it all as reading can be a bit hard for me but what i have read so far is just so amazing. Great interview Chloe
This is such a good talk between you all. Thanks for sharing this interesting Interview! Loved to hear you all. I am quite in my realization that I am autistic and it is so good to hear such a voice as Chloes. ✨ Also your questions where very good. Props to you all! And lot's of love!
Is it only disabled Australians you interview? My 52 year old Autistic/Asperger/PDD-NOS self with my straight, nitty gritty talk will blow the toxic positivity in the Autistic community out of the water.
I don't know what she's talking about has an autistic woman I've had alot of bad luck with talking to people online alot of creeps I find. But I think its amazing that's she's actor and she gets the accomdations she needs and how she stands up for herself.Also that shes an autism advocate. I like her stance on playing disabled people including autistic people how it should be an actually disabled person not someone who isnt.
Is it only disabled Australians you interview? I could give you my straight talk on my blowing the toxic positivity in the Autistic community out of the water.
I'm loving this interview so far, but one thing I do want to push back on is the idea that "autistic people can play neurotypical roles, but not the other way around." Everyone in an acting role is-- HAS to be-- embodying a character that is different than them, and that requires the ability to put yourself into an experience that you haven't had in your own life. It's all about authenticity in my view-- if a neurotypical person really pours themself in and treats the autistic character as a rounded whole, that's a valuable thing, not something that should be discouraged.
no way in hell could a nuerotypical play an autistic character, you cant pretend to have a completely different brain without practicing it their whole life like how autistic people have to pretend to be nuerotypical. as an autistic person i have HATED EVERY autistic character played by a nuerotypical because they always get it so wrong, its always so stereotyped.
In an ideal world that would be the case, currently for a lot of disabilities people don't look past what it looks like to others. That means that the performance is stereotypical and for autistic people quite often resembles the way that they were teased at school. It is now accepted that you don't do black-face and in recent years there has been outcry that characters have been whitewashed (the person that the character was based on wasn't white but they cast a white actor anyway). If there is that much of an outcry that if a character is a certain race then it should be played by someone who matches why shouldn't people with disabilities get the same.
@@amandamandamands The first part of this is just criticizing "bad acting," which, I agree, you should cast people who will act a role well. Often that implies casting someone with some related experiences, but not always. I don't support rigid race-based dividing lines in casting, either. Real life has no rigid race-based dividing lines. Again, as a practical matter you're usually going to get better acting by casting a black actor to play a black character anyway; there's no need to gild the lily with discriminatory hiring practices.
@@modusvivendi2 So you don't see an issue with if the character in a book is of a specific race that they just hire the current white 'it' person to play the character instead, does it make a difference if the story is based on a true story. Using that logic is it that you think that the character should just be made white instead or that we should keep doing what they were doing in the Golden Age of Hollywood where they would just get the white person to play a caricature of a person from X country/race including make-up to adjust their skin colour.
