Paul Wady

 

WINNER OF LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD, NEURODIVERSE REVIEW 2023. ECCENTRICS ASSEMBLE! Part two of the 2023 eccentrics show and the tenth year of being ignored by the mainstream media. They just cannot handle radical autistic self advocacy folks. THAT SO FEW NOW DARE TO BE ECCENTRIC MARKS THE CHIEF DANGER OF THE TIME. - John Stuart Mill from his book On Liberty, 1859.

The Guerilla Autistics Neurotransformative solo show - the Vanguard of the Neurodiversity Movement.  A metaphor for all self - identifying autistic people who stand up to be counted, come together to form communities and hold autism or Neurodivergency to be their identity.  Or argue about it.  

Year ten marks Paul Wady's 60'th birthday. Yet still he labours on. A book of the yearly regenerations of the shows is coming this year. McGonegall! Milligan! Temple Graundin! Stanley Green and Lillie Hitchcock Coat! (Who?). Writers, artists, politicians, an awful lot of the landed gentry and a whole world of women and men, and those who don't use such terms, who could only see things THEIR WAY. The Media ignores him. Yet still he continues. Will you undergo the trial by concepts of how autistic people see themselves and the world?  Will it alter your views or not.  In this interactive experience, you get a chance to have your say.

 

whole new Via PowerPoint, interaction, histrionics and charisma Mr. Paul Wady turns audiences NeuroDivergent, Autistic and.....ECCENTRIC!  

It is also funny.  You will laugh. You can tell us all about your eccentricities too?  

 

I am a 60 (My God) year old diagnosed autistic adult, who worked for the National Autistic Society for nearly 18 years until they massacred 500 of us.  I originally come from Liverpool and have substantial experience of theatre performance and training.  Lots of shows and fun.  I am married to another autistic and published my (formerly Aspies) Guerilla Autistics book in December 2014.  I brought the show of the book to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2015, and have returned again 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 and 2023. I Love it.  I founded the Stealth Aspies entirely autistic theatre company in 2017 which is now renamed THE Neurospace Collective.

 

I have also performed it in Dublin, London, and specialist venues such as the Henshaws college in Harrowgate and St. Andrews Healthcare, Nottingham (a secure unit.  My kind of gig) as well as Newcastle and Nottingham for the National Autistic Society.  I performed at the Swindon and Brighton fringes in 2016.  I performed twice for the Assist Charity in Brighton, latterly in the DukeBox theatre.  We even had a fringe event to the XI European Autism Congress only a few weeks after the Edinburgh festival 2016, at which I returned to play the show to an audience of my peers in the Voodoo Rooms that september.  

Here are films of the show on the 2015 and 2016 fringes.

This film of my address to the 2104 Excel centre autism show introduces my neurodiversity agenda really well.
