In this video, Adrian tells his story of being an autistic person.
He talks about events at work that led to his diagnosis, the challenges that he faces and his views on how society should behave towards one another.
Being autistic does not have to stop you having a good life.
Like everyone, autistic people have things they're good at as well as things they struggle with.
