"Helping Hands" is an Australian play on the idea of "help" when it comes to autism. It highlights the irony that sometimes "well-intentional" does not always translate into "help."
I'm a creative consultant for the play as there is a non-speaking character.
Had a lot of fun with this project.

In the next video, co-director Hannah Aroni talks about some principles in social work that influenced this play. A quick recap
1. Reflective Practice - be aware that you bring your own implicit biases when you try to "help" those with autism.
2. Arnstein Ladder of Citizen Control which ranges from full partnership (self-determination) to manipulation. Sadly, "help" with respect to Autism seems to fall more in the latter.
3. Person Environment Misfits. The societal helpe focus seems more on "help" change the person and less "help" change the environment when it comes to Autism.
I can so relate with much of the above. Thank you Hannah.
