What I liked

I felt so connected to George’s struggle and dreams. Even though I do not have Aspergers I always have struggled with regulating my emotions and the pressure I put on myself to succeed, as well as self criticism. His catharsis at the end about not needing any other validation than his own moved me to tears because it is a struggle I have had all my life. No solo piece has moved me the way this one has.

What I didn't like

Less background noise in the Voice overs. Maybe some visuals to go along with the performance:)

My overall impression

This was an incredibly honest and vulnerable show that I related to on so many levels. As someone who dated a guy with Aspergers in high school, who later took his own life, this was personal on a whole other level.
