 Alexis has just landed a role on the new sitcom Vickie & Vinnie. Hungry for success and naive enough to believe she’s already achieved it; Alexis is ready to shine. But she quickly discovers the brutal nature of the industry and must navigate pompous celebrities and difficult directors made all the more difficult as a neurodivergent woman in an overstimulating and high-pressure environment.

It’s already difficult to navigate the world as a neurodiverse person but succeeding in an overstimulating and often uncaring environment can be an unseen struggle. The challenge of deciphering the true intent behind the actions of people who don’t always want to see you succeed, the overstimulating noises of a bustling set and the piercing lighting mixed with the pressure every woman feels to be beautiful and perfect create an environment designed to stifle long-term success for neurodiverse people, particularly women, in the entertainment industry.

Though there has been a distinct improvement over the last decade, there is still a massive stigma attached to neurodiversity. Vickie & Vinnie is a comedy that highlights the lack of respect and understanding still present today particularly for women. The humour and fun underscores a much deeper message, prompting audiences to search inward and ask themselves what they’re really laughing at. Do we laugh because of a bright neon sign instructing us to? Are the jokes simply just funny? Or are we laughing at an autistic woman merely existing?
