Autistic Heartstopper Star’s Self Discovery Journey

Bradley Riches first communicated through sound and movement, but
after his autism diagnosis at age 9, he found his voice through
acting. Now, he stars as James in Netflix's Heartstopper, a
character who, like Bradley, is both queer and autistic.
Recently, he won over audiences on Big Brother by
sharing his journey with autism.


In this episode, Bradley talks with Ben about being non-verbal,
experiencing Big Brother through an autistic lens,
finding his voice, and his recent engagement.
