Nic has autism. Through the eyes of his mother Jennifer, we follow Nic's family on a ten-year journey: from early confusion to a life-altering diagnosis, then through the stages of denial, anger, depression, bargaining and finally acceptance. Along the way the story provides a great deal of humour, both in Jennifer's own approach to parenting, and in Nic's perception of the world around him. Using episodic scenes and theatrical flights of fancy, the play takes an honest look at the challenges of having an autistic child---but also celebrates the joys of parenthood and pride in a son's accomplishments."An absolutely unique experience. She turned a burning glass on all of us as parents...a standard of excellence I feel I haven't seen for ages... Thank you for reminding me of the connection between personal storytelling and good theatre.I hope that this play will be seen over and over again, so people across the country can be affected as I was."
