Actor Lola Blue talks about how she embraces day-to-day life, recognises when she is masking, and how playing Addie in A Kind of Spark has helped her accept who she is.

Lola, Georgia and Caitlin (who play Addie, Keedie and Nina) share their experiences on set, working with author Elle McNicoll and each other to bring A Kind of Spark to life.

Each person interviewed in this video is neurodivergent and they experience their neurodivergence differently, as autism and ADHD are unique and personal to each individual.

Elle McNicoll is a bestselling and award-winning Scottish children’s author. Her debut novel, A Kind of Spark, won the Blue Peter Book Award 2021.

Elle is also co-writer for the A Kind of Spark TV series. Neurodivergent herself, she is an advocate for better representation of neurodiversity and disability in publishing and the media.

Watch A Kind of Spark series one on ´óÏó´«Ã½ iPlayer, and get ready for series two, coming to C´óÏó´«Ã½ in April 2024.
