”Can we stop saying people with autism? It’s not something in me, and I don’t need no cure!! I am autistic.”

But Sam Samuel's identity goes beyond autism; they are also the founder of Drag Queen Story Hour UK and an award-winning children's author. We explore Sab's boundless creativity, tracing back to their early years when they began writing film ideas at just 12 years old.

We delve into their literary works, including 'My First Pride', 'It's Snot a Problem' and 'The Three Goats United' uncovering the profound messages woven into each narrative. Additionally, we uncover the significance of including Drag Queen Story Hour in previous Cup North events, with Aida H Dee captivating audiences as the storyteller.

And as expected, our conversation extends to the experiences of navigating a neurotypical world while being neurodiverse, shedding light on the complexities and nuances of this journey.
