There are 700,000 autistic people in the UK but who is their leader?

2 years ago, Joe Wells decided he should be “King of The Autistics” and it all went horribly wrong.

'One of my favourite comics' (Frankie Boyle).

'Some of the most surprising and thought-provoking material coming from any comedian' (Guardian).

Over 4.5m views online for his video 'Having a non-autistic brother'.

As seen on Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Extravaganza, BBC2’s Ouch! Storytelling Live and Channel 4’s Jokes Only a Neurodivergent Can Tell.
