One day I'm going to do what I've been threatening for a couple of years now and write a guide for drag producers about how to make their casting applications more neurodivergent friendly.

#you can tell me you want “ND performers to the front” all you want #and you can (claim) you'll provide all the accomodations at the show (though based on experience DOUBT)#but if your application process consists of “DM if interested”#or even worse “send an email to express interest”#and when i send you an email/DM that just says “hello i am interested” you ignore me because i have not followed some unapoken rules #you can't actually claim to be supportive of ND performers #like literally just giving me a rough format for the email makes ALL the difference #like: drag name/pronouns/contact email #also has the added benefit of acting as a way for you to make sure that people emailing are actually interested #because they've had to do the bare minimum of reading your post #also if you have a long application form that requires detailed answers way more people need to have to option for people to submit as an #audio/video file #ANYWAYS #I've talked to a lot of other ND/autistic performers and they've all agreed that this would make SO much difference #the number of shows i don't even apply for because i feel SOO stressed by the lack of clear guidelines for the process #none of y'all care about this haha #just venting lmao #drag posting
