My name is Alex Manners, 29 and I am a neurodiversity and autism speaker, Asperger's champion, presenter and author. I present motivational and educational talks on what it is like to live, work and go to school with Asperger's and Autism. I present these talks to many different companies, law firms, universities, schools and NHS Trusts all over the UK and the world.

In 2019 I wrote and published my very first book called "That's Not Right! My Life Living with Asperger's". I have a very positive outlook on life and believe that you should never let your circumstances hold you back. To me life is an adventure and I am determined to spend it "pursuing my passions".

I now present a number of talks listed below:

My Life Living with Asperger's

Autism & Football

I have started my own "Autism & Football" campaign to enhance the experience of Autistic people at football matches. I have worked with many different football clubs including Arsenal, Aston Villa & Swansea City and had interviews on ITV Central and BBC News about my campaign

I have also created a "Neurodiversity & Mental Health in Football" online course for fans, players and coaches/ employees.

Asperger's is a form of Autism and I have talked about my Asperger's many time on radio and television. I even featured on series 10 & 11 of "The Undateables" on Channel 4. For 2 years I presented my own children's show on Solihull Radio and wrote my very own "Rainbow Man" children's stories that were reviewed by CBeebies.

Football is one of my biggest passions and In 2019 I completed my quest to watch a match at all 92 Football League Grounds. My love of football has even allowed me to start my very own "Autism & Football" campaign and film the Solihull Moors home matches for BT Sport for two seasons.
