My name is Alex Manners, 28 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".
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.
