I was at ChosenCon last year…. There was a young man with autism sitting in front of me and when Paras came into the stage the first time, this young man cheered and pumped his fists, yelling Paras’ name. It clearly meant the world to him to see Paras and his portrayal of an autistic St. Matthew.
Please do better. Autism Speaks has really problematic approaches to Autism. Actually autistic people consider it extremely harmful and it's disappointing to see their organization speaking for/over the Autistic community.
Portraying Matthew on the spectrum has proven to be one of our top 3 best choices of the entire life of the show.

Thank you for saying it. A rep from A$ showing up was a red flag.
