What are the difficulties of cosplaying while different? How much of cosplaying while disabled or neurodivergent requires adaptation for your needs instead of reimagination or replication of the character\u2019s costume? And how does pretending to be someone else help you to find yourself?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re really excited to be able to talk on this, and our panellists are Gerry Begley, Katch Murtagh, Cliona McEnery, and Kat Dodd as a half-moderator-half-panellist. We&#8217;ll also be recording it, for anyone who wants to see this panel but can&#8217;t make it to DCC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Octocon&#8217;s fantable, you&#8217;ll find a treasure trove of geeky delights.
