Autism is the theme for this episode as Alex and Siobhan are joined by comedian Mark Nicholas, who is autistic.

 

The conversation covers when Mark was first diagnosed, his difficulties at school, and how much drama lessons helped him grow in confidence.

 

Mark later started doing stand-up comedy, which has boosted his confidence further, allowing him to meet like-minded people on the circuit and raise awareness of autism through his material.

 

Mark also co-hosts the UnmedOKAYted podcast, where they discuss neurodivergent experiences. Check it out on all podcast platforms. 

 

In Sh*t or Miss, Mark shares a story about overdoing it on caffeine at work and how that and a delayed bus disrupted his afterwork poo routine. But did he make it to the toilet on time?
