Mixed Blood Theater Performance: Theory of Mind centers on
Bill, a college-bound 17 year-old with Asperger’s Syndrome. He is equipped with
scholastic brilliance but low emotional intelligence, keen self-awareness yet an
inability to read social cues, and a charming directness yet prone to taking
everything literally. His outing with a young woman becomes a memorable,
insightful look at the tugs, shifts, and about-faces found on the autism
spectrum.

Written by the same playwright as Mixed Blood’s On the
Spectrum and Vestibular Sense, Theory of Mind is not a primer
on autism, a catalogue of family turmoil or a list of treatment options. It is
simply a sensitive yet unsentimental portrait of a young adult on the autism
spectrum.
