To address the increased social isolation and consequent mental distress of neurodiverse young people during the COVID-19 pandemic, who were already experiencing severe marginalisation in Peru, People's Palace Projects/PPP in the Queen Mary University of London Drama Department (UK), Flute Theatre (UK), Teatro La Plaza (Peru) and the Centre of Excellence in Chronic Diseases/CRONICAS (Peru) created Heartbeat; Creating Recovery (AH/V013688/1): a research project that designed, implemented and tested an inclusive, participatory and interactive Spanish language online production of The Tempest (La Tempestad). The production was developed using the Hunter Heartbeat Methodology of drama games, which offer autistic people an opportunity to express themselves in a creative space dedicated to their needs and abilities.Evaluation of the project was overwhelmingly positive; *Participants enjoyed themselves while learning skills and building their personal and social capacities.*Families found an inclusive environment built on trust and noticed reduced levels of mental distress in their children.*Representatives from arts, health, education and culture called for the project to be incorporated into government and non-governmental services.*The digital environment provided stable social connections during a period of extreme uncertainty.However, recent research by Peru's National Council for the Integration of Persons with Disability (CONADIS) emphasises that the long-term discrimination, neglect and marginalisation affecting the neurodiverse community predates the COVID-19 pandemic (CONADIS, 2021). Moreover, the UN Economic Commission for Latin America (CEPAL) are projecting a pessimistic outlook for the future without an urgent overhaul of Disability and neurodiversity policymaking in Latin America (Meresman & Ullmann, 2020). The benefits of engagement with artistic and/or creative activities for neurodiverse people are widely evidenced in government reports, arts and culture surveys and academic literature. But the unparalleled levels of exclusion from culture experienced by autistic people in Latin America is perpetuated by the same Peruvian national policies designed to address structural discrimination. The limited resources and specialist services that are available tend to be concentrated in larger cities, making rural populations, women and Indigenous people the most vulnerable to the correlation between Disability, poverty and social exclusion (CONADIS, 2021). Making resources available beyond geographical barriers and deliverable in community settings is clearly essential to addressing access to services and reaching communities threatened by intersecting vulnerabilities.The Follow-On project will focus on touring a live and online production of The Tempest (La Tempestad) in Peru, which has been determined as the most effective way to enhance the value and extract the maximum benefit from the original research project. By developing a toolkit of activities to accompany the production, the Follow-On project will achieve significant social and cultural impact as well as provide a transferable and low-cost model that can be scaled up by stakeholders and policymakers. This Follow-On will demonstrate that Heartbeat is a programme that can be flexibly delivered in a variety of settings, including in rural and hard-to-reach communities that urgently need support services. Sharing accessible resources with larger audiences through high-profile performance events, stakeholder roundtables and an impactful communications campaign that raise awareness of autism, this Follow-On applies the methods identified by members of the Disabled and neurodiverse community in Peru for improving their quality of life (CONADIS, 2021).

解决在19日大流行期间神经多样性人士的社会隔离以及随之而来的心理困扰，他们已经在秘鲁经历了严重的边缘化，伦敦皇后玛丽玛丽大学戏剧部门（英国皇后大学），英国长笛剧院（英国）（秘鲁）和cronices/cronics/cronicas/cronicas/cronicas/cronicas extrect of Controce theatry theake of Palace ppp;创建恢复（AH/V013688/1）：设计，实施和测试的研究项目包括Tempest（La Tempestad）的包容性，参与性和互动的西班牙语在线生产。该作品是使用戏剧游戏的Hunter Heartbeat方法来开发的，这些方法为自闭症患者提供了一个在致力于其需求和能力的创意空间中表达自己的机会。对该项目的评估是压倒性的。 *参与者在学习技能和建立个人和社会能力的同时享受着自己的愉悦。 （Conadis）强调，影响神经多样性社区的长期歧视，忽视和边缘化早于COVID-19-19大流行（Conadis，2021年）。此外，联合国拉丁美洲经济委员会（CEPAL）预测了对未来的悲观前景，而没有紧急大修拉丁美洲的残疾和神经多样性决策（Meresman＆Ullmann，2020年）。在政府报告，艺术和文化调查和学术文献中，对神经多样性人士的艺术和/或创造性活动的益处得到了广泛的证明。但是，在拉丁美洲自闭症患者所经历的文化中，无与伦比的排斥水平被旨在解决结构性歧视的同样的秘鲁国家政策所延续。可用的有限资源和专业服务往往集中在较大的城市中，使农村人口，妇女和土著人民成为最容易受到残疾，贫困和社会排斥之间相关性的影响（Conadis，2021年）。使在地理障碍之外的资源和在社区环境中可交付以外的可用资源对于解决服务的访问和与相交的漏洞所威胁的社区显然至关重要。后续项目将着重于游览秘鲁的Tempest（La Tempestad）的实时和在线生产，该项目已确定为增强价值和从原始研究项目提取最大收益的最有效方法。通过开发一项活动工具包以伴随生产，后续项目将实现重大的社会和文化影响，并提供可转移和低成本的模型，该模型可以由利益相关者和政策制定者扩大。此后续行动将表明，心跳是一个可以在各种环境中灵活交付的程序，包括在迫切需要支持服务的农村和难以触及的社区中。通过备受瞩目的绩效事件，利益相关者的圆桌会议以及有影响力的通信活动，与较大的受众共享可访问的资源，以提高自闭症的认识，此后续发展适用于秘鲁残疾人和神经多样社区确定的方法，以改善其生活质量（Conadis，2021年）。
