Playwright Diana Burbano (dianaburbano.com) talks about growing up with undiagnosed autism and how those experiences inspired her play “Sapience,” which received its professional premiere at Artists Repertory Theatre in Portland (Feb. 23-March 23, 2025; more info at artists rep.org). In this stand-alone episode, journalist Kerry Stewart Lengel also explores how neurodiversity has been represented in the theater and popular culture.
