Please select all that apply. I can feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable, anxious or trapped as an audience member when it is implied that:
I cannot move around freely
I cannot leave the space
I cannot say "No"
I cannot make noise
I must give my undivided attention to ONLY the performance
I cannot stim
Is there anything else that was not mentioned in the previous question that would make you feel uncomfortable, anxious, overwhelmed or trapped?
Please select all that apply. I feel welcome, safe, comfortable and relaxed as an audience member when it has been made clear that:
My differences are a valuable contribution to the performance environment
I am free to move around, leave and enter the space, and stim/self-soothe (physically and vocally) as I please.
My boundaries will be respected and I have the power to say "No" if I am asked to do something that I do not want to do.
I can give my attention to something other than the performance to prevent feeling overwhelmed.
There is a dedicated person I can speak to about any potential triggers or potentially overwhelming sensory stimuli within the performance.
Is there anything additional that performance artists and venues can do to ensure the environment remains a comfortable space for you?
Do you purposefully mask your neurodivergent behaviour? If yes, why do you think you mask this?
How would you describe the effect that neurotypical expectations have on your emotions and behaviour as an audience member within a performance environment?
If you do socially mask, are there ever situations where you remove your mask? What exactly makes you feel able to do this comfortably?
