I'm autistic and making a TV documentary about us!

Hey all,

I hope you're well. I've just joined the community but was diagnosed in 2017. I'm based in Manchester.

For years, I've wanted to present TV documentaries but since the Black Lives Matter movement hit the headlines in May 2020, I've been inspired to go further for my community and take action. I'm currently developing a programme for an established broadcaster on autism and people's obsessions. I'd love to hear from people who have quirky obsessions and a story to tell.

Outside of telly and autism, I'm a massive football fan. I support Middlesbrough as my dad is from there but am equally (if not more) fascinated by the Premier League and the circus that surrounds it. There's nothing better than some football and cold chocolate that's been in the fridge I say!

Oh - and my interview with the National Autistic Society is here should you want to read it - https://www.autism.org.uk/about/stories/nick-ransom.aspx

Always keen to chat to people so do get in touch!

Best wishes, Nick

  • Hi Nick

    Just a quick point - do you have permission to place your advert on this website?      

    We get lots of people on here asking for members to take part in *their* personal well-meaning projects and petitions and surveys - all of which seem to be based around getting the personal information and details of vulnerable people.

    Also - new members immediately hawking their projects and posting links to their websites set all sorts of alarms ringing for us.

    You can probably understand if people would be a bit reluctant to take part in this.
