In this session Daniel Farrand was joined by Pierre Novellie to share the remarkable story of discovering he was autistic after an unexpected encounter with an autistic heckler during one of his comedy shows. That moment ultimately led to his diagnosis at 31, helping him reframe and better understand experiences he’d grappled with throughout his life. Drawing from his book Why can’t I just enjoy things?: A comedian’s guide to autism, Pierre offered a witty, thoughtful exploration of autism, blending personal insight with sharp observational comedy in a way that resonated with neurodiverse attendees and those new to the subject alike.
