Heave Media: It’s an art. That’s an answer I use frequently when people ask me why I love professional wrestling as much as I do. That answer leaves them confused at times. To the average person the words art and professional wrestling don’t really belong together, but what they fail to realize is how much of an art it really is. Television shows are considered an art. Stage plays are considered an art. Musical concerts are considered an art, why not professional wrestling? It, like the aforementioned forms, is also performed on a stage for an audience, so why doesn’t it get the same treatment? The quick answer non-fans like to use is because it’s scripted. So is CSI, what else you got? Oh, because it’s “fake.” Mind you, these are the same people who tune in by the millions to watch Academy Awards shows where guys like Russell Crowe get awards and praise for films they make because yes, Gladiator is totally real.

It is good to hear that such a large group is once again working to be autism-friendly. I find it interesting that there are so few shows, and that they are all chosen to be ones with almost a childish vibe though. The TDF is good to work with theatre goers and technicians to fine tune this program and make it open to the autistic community. No matter who it is, theatre can be beneficial and it positively affects said people as well as the theatrical community when this is recognized.
