Tides (An Autism Story)

Dylan Ward is autistic. He has his own way of thinking and his own way of doing things, but no one seems to understand him. How do you navigate a world which operates on a completely different wavelength to the one that you’re on? 

Following its hugely successful and critically acclaimed run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and based on real experiences of growing up autistic, Tides (An Autism Story), combines Monty Pythonesque humour with a touch of drama to offer an insight into the wonderful, yet challenging world of autism... From one particularly silly individual.
