Abstract

This text discusses how theater came to be seen as the author's most obvious hyperfocus after his diagnosis as an autistic person. What was understood as a place of speech constructed as a profession came to be understood as a place of interest that causes benefits and harms with high intensity. From this perspective, the autobiographical text explains the place of theater as a poetic machine in which the fantastic is an important element.
