My mums friend, who's son is autistic, recommended my mum 'a kind of spark', which had recently come out on bbc iplayer. I was reluctant to watch it at first, because I thought is was aimed for younger children. After dinner, we usually watch a tv show, and I wanted to watch Horrible Histories. However, my mum was bored of that by then (I did watch it every day at that point. I go through phases) and she said we should try A Kind of Spark. We watched an episode, and I was angry because I wanted to be watching Horrible Histories. However I soon realised that I related a lot to the characters, and I started doing some research on autism. I had my initial assessment last year, and they said I am most likely autistic and I have ADHD although because the waiting list's so long I probably won't be officially diagnosed for another 1-3 years. My mum bough me the book and I loved it, and I loved the series the more I watched of it. And so my mum bought me all of Elle Mcnicolls other books. Elle is an actual legend. And now she's written the Keedie book (she's my favourite character) , which I can't wait for, and A Kind of Spark has a season two. I couldn't be more excited. I'm glad I gave it a go, because it led me to discover so much about myself.

 “They were real people who lived and died here. They were singled out, and punished just for being different. And we’ve forgotten them... I’m asking the council for a memorial. For the witches of Juniper.”

If Keedie isn't the biggest mood. Supposed to be cleaning, but oh look, what's this thing I haven't seen in months/years. Must pause and rediscover it

[baynton]

once again doing my duty for the ben fans:

a kind of spark is now on my gdrive. the quality really isn’t the best, but i figured that since it’s impossible to access for some people, it would be better than nothing!

[ramyaknox]

I'm currently watching A Kind of Spark. I absolutely love the book and it's super special to me so I'm really happy about the TV series.

These are all the things I've loved so far

Addie stimming, it just makes me feel so seen and safe whenever I see it. Lola blue plays her beautifully

Every scene in a library or place with books. The quiet just captures the beautiful feeling of stepping into that place and the fact that they aren't rushed just makes them feel exactly how I think they should and exactly how libraries make me feel as someone who's special interest is in reading

Frank. He's a legend and I love him even though he wasn't in the books

Keedie, is absolutely gorgeous and almost perfect to how I imagined her

Nina is amazing as well and the actress plays her so well even though she said it was difficult masking all the time

The scene in episode 4 with keedie and nina in the clothes shop made me quite emotional and I think it was really great even though it wasn't in the book

A neurodivergent writer and 3 neurodivergent actresses in lead roles. They've worked so hard for this show and it's beautiful to finally see it
