This post doesn't have to do with Kid Victory, so I didn't think it was appropriate for that thread. I apologize for starting a new thread if there's another one that fits.
In the first paragraph of Brantley's Kid Victory review, in addition to (as my friend said) "mocking the idea about plays and musicals discussing young people with mental illnesses," Brantley incorrectly labels Christopher in Curious Incident as agoraphobic. While the character is never officially diagnosed in the play, Christopher definitely is not agoraphobic... I believe the term Brantley was looking for is "autistic". (I personally would add "spectrum" to that.) Was this a weird error/typo that the copy editor missed, or did Brantley see a different play? Maybe I should get him a copy of the DSM-V...
