Stealth Aspies, a group of five Autistic adults, relies on contributions from a Twitter poll. The monologues that the show relies on are formed from this data.

When asked what can be expected from the show, Paul Wady, 55, cryptically replied “The truth”. (Of what it means to be an Autistic person.)

Alongside the monologues sourced from Twitter, the group also performed poetry. Topics ranged from the so-called anti-vax movement, to the lack of care for Autistic people.

Sarah Saeed, 41, and producer for the show was missing for some of the shows; you can catch her in action every month as host for the neurodiverse comedy and poetry night, Lava Elastic.

Stealth Aspies will be back on June 8 to perform at the Marlborough Theatre. Three members of of the group will also be at the Reading Autistic Pride event on June 30.
