Spectrum Live Season Two is all about showcasing the many talents of individuals on the spectrum. Oftentimes, those with autism and neurodiversity in media are underrepresented or show unrealistic experiences of those on the spectrum. To change this proactively, Spectrum sets the example of what media created by autistic individuals is really like. .
It will be showing at Cinéma du Musée this Saturday, July 16th, at 8:30pm as Part of The Outer Worlds presentation.

We plan to make Season 2 better, more inclusive, and even more fun than Season 1, and we need your help to do so!
We are looking for passionate, motivated Autistic and neurodiverse creators to be part of our production team to really bring this show to life.
