A Very Autistic Christmas is our first radio drama, created and directed by Gilly Fogg, written by Aoife Dooley and co-produced with Gorilla Post-Production for RTÉ jr. With the vocal talents of Darcy Weekes in the lead role of Hazel!
Hazel Magee, 13, knows exactly what she needs to enjoy Christmas. Dad agreed, and she has the proof. But will her family listen when a surprise guest threatens to spoil it all?
A Very Autistic Christmas is Hazel's two-part audio diary. The rich soundscapes help to catapult the listener right into Hazel's world.
Released in December 2025, A Very Autistic Christmas was made in collaboration with AsIAm, Ireland's Autism Charity. Listen now over on RTÉ!
Listener FEEDBACK
"Thank you for creating 'A Very Autistic Christmas'. Well done, such a gorgeous project. For your next podcast can you create 'A Very Autistic Junior Cert' so we can all survive that too!! I hope this podcast gets the wider love it deserves."
Parent to an Autistic Child
"I would highly recommend listening to this podcast. It was a great reminder of how difficult certain situations can be for our children and how we as parents can alter our expectations around Christmas - while also keeping our children regulated and happy during the holidays. "
Barbara, Parent
"It’s so funny and really captures everyone's experiences/point of view. I will definitely send it on lots of people who will definitely relate to this."
