Be More Chill and Neurodiversity

#bemorechill #bemorechillmusical #theatre #videoessay #autismacceptancemonth #joeiconis

An analysis and review of Be More Chill, as interpreted by an Autistic 20 year old who grew up with it. Glad I could get this video out on time, I'll try not to take that long of a break again hahaha, hope the hour-long think-piece is worth it ^v^

Update: I am aware of the audio errors... I have no clue how that happened and frankly I'm frustrated because it threw a lot of the timing in the video off. It's fine in both the original audio file and the original video file, My guess is it had something to do with how it was exported. Didn't catch it before so shrug just bear with it ig. Shit happens.
