Let's Talk Autism with Sam and Megan

In this episode Liz talks to Writer and Director Sam Grierson and Singer Songwriter Megan Black who wrote the theme song for Sam's new short film The Programme.

The Programme is about who we are and our understanding of neurodivergence and the idea of seeking a “typical existence”. Michelle Jeram plays the non binary and neurodivergent lead character of Drum who has been chosen out of 4.3 million profiles to be interviewed by ‘The Programme’, - an organisation of emotional intelligence robots, on the subject of loneliness.

Sam and Megan both share personal stories about their neurodivergence and discuss what individuals and 'the system' can do to make life a bit more inclusive.
