The Playwright, Jill Franklin, attended the performance, which is partly based on her experience has a parent of neurodivergent children:  

‘It was great to see the play performed in the Scottish Parliament, and I am really pleased with how the evening went. I wrote the play due to feeling frustrated about how autistic people are represented, and I wanted to show the importance of autism acceptance and understanding, particularly for undiagnosed children in the education system. I hope that everyone who attended will now have a better understanding of what it’s like to be autistic in a world not made for autistic people.’ 

After the performance, Director of the National Autistic Society Scotland, Rob Holland chaired a panel discussion on education with Jill Franklin, Sam Fox who plays Laura, and Stephanie Callaghan MSP. Rob Holland said: 

‘We are delighted to support this hugely important theatrical performance of ‘Hindsight’. The play portrays the struggles that many autistic children face in school and highlights the importance of early diagnosis. Showcasing stories like Laura’s are essential in promoting autism awareness and understanding, so that autistic children are no longer left to feel confused and misunderstood.’
