The Edinburgh-born autistic musician previously appeared in a BAFTA-winning short film, Harmonic Spectrum
. The Piano, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, is a Channel 4 competition show in a bid to find the top four UK amateur pianists to perform at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
Speaking of the show, Sean said: “It’s been a fantastic experience being on the show, I’ve really enjoyed it and it was great to get to perform as a finalist alongside such talented musicians at the Royal Festival Hall. He added: "In my experience, the help is out there if you’re autistic and you need it, but it can often be difficult to find. I think that getting that help and support is vital, because when autistic people are supported and encouraged, they can achieve great things.”
It’s also a step forward for positive autistic representation on TV, as it challenges the stereotypical view as to what autistic people can achieve. It also draws attention to the benefits of creative musical interaction, which we know helps many autistic people to enhance their confidence and self-expression.
