✨ KaylaCromer17 is UpNext ✨ The EverythingsOkTV star opens up about what it means to play a character on the autism spectrum, why she's over storybook families and breaking barriers for people with disabilities:
To help bring Matilda alive, Kayla would reflect on her own life, getting to have some of her own quirks and experiences brought to the character because Josh and the writers wanted to reflect reality. One hilarious example Kayla offers up is based on her middle school years and skinny jeans. Back in the day, Kayla couldn't stand the texture of tight-fitting jeans but wanted to ditch the bell-bottoms and fit in.
"It was in a writer's meeting when they asked if I had any stories I wanted to tell. Coincidentally when we first got picked up, I had this whole book written out of ideas," Kayla says. "Actors who play autistic characters, they haven't walked in our shoes because they don't have it themselves. So by incorporating parts of myself into the role, it just makes it more authentic."that she's on the spectrum.
"But then I realized those issues are small and what if I can really change the industry? It'll just open more doors because there are so many people trying with a disability to get into this business, but nobody wants to give us a chance," she says. "People stick to what's known and are afraid to think out of the box.
