Description
Quentin Crisp! Florence Jenkins! Einstein! Patricia Highsmith! William McGonagall! Through the centuries, secret Neurodivergent or Autistic people have found respect and love in the world whilst refusing to socially conform. Championing relatively bizarre beliefs and actions, arch Eccentric Paul Wady and Eccentric guests will show you how to embrace your inner Eccentric and be free. A celebration of how to enjoy good mental health whilst not compromising your obsessions, urges and true self. Year nine of the Guerilla Autistics show exposes those of who hid in plain sight.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
