Like the TARDIS in Doctor Who, we’re all Bigger on the Inside.
Join stand-up poet and BBC radio regular Kate Fox on a funny, thought-provoking and poetic trip through time and space as she uncovers new ways to think about labels like Autism and ADHD. She finds inspiration in Doctor Who and in the passionate happiness of neurodivergent joy.
She imagines a universe in which “it’s understood that energy ebbs and flows in people and spaces” and “eye contact, body language and facial expressions are not policed or queried” while taking us on a sci fi journey of hope and healing.
