Description
For the eighth year of this universally unique, neurodiversifying, audience-participatory solo show, Paul Wady has changed the name to Guerilla Autistics and wants to take you all back in time. (No more Nazi Hans Aspergers connotations). Born in 1963. Diagnosed autistic in 2004. How do you spend 41 years hiding what you are from even yourself? How do you love, live and relate as a Scouse punk-rocker Buddhist whose closet neurodivergent nature alienates him from most people? Contains laughs, tears, obsessions, autism and neurodiversity.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.
