The sign language interpreter must’ve been struggling through this, imagine how difficult it is to do sign language whilst trying to hold the laughter in

this is hilarious, extremely relatable as another autistic person, and at times even touching although i know that wasn't the intention. (the points you made about looking back and wondering what would've been different in your life if you'd been diagnosed earlier struck a chord with me is all.) keep it up mate this is brilliant and there should be more examples of autistic people's experiences being made visible like this. 🥰

I'm 26 now and was diagnosed autistic at 25. Eye contact never made sense to me. Still doesn't. I look at people's mouths when they talk. Which makes much more sense to me. Their mouth is talking not their eyes.

@@joewellscomic I suspect I'm autistic and haven't gone for a diagnosis yet (at age 27) and was just texting a friend two days ago about the things in my life that could work out differently if I had known about this sooner. Will keep an eye out for if you're ever gonna come to the States!

The fact there was a sighn language interpreter makes me happy :)

Fellow late-diagnosis Autistic here; I love your description of the mind-shredding, exhausting effects of audio processing differences! You might be the only person who can explain why a motorcycle enthusiast's value and street cred is not in a positive relationship with how loudly and quickly the engine of their vehicle can "rev up". Here in Calgary, AB the easing of city lockdown restrictions allowed these a-holes their run of the downtown; they made enough noise to catch even the attention and ire of neurotypical people-only then did the police start to enforce noise bylaws. Until that point, however, my noise-cancelling headphones saw heavy use.

@Sal DiMarchese every dictionary definition i can find has a 2nd definition that says informally it's commonly used in an exaggerated way, it's used so much it's just as valid as a part of the language. language evolves over time. calm down mate you knew exactly what they meant, what does anyone gain from this level of nitpicking?

I'm autistic, diagnosed at 36. I'm the weirdo who actually likes eye contact, but when people are speaking I watch their mouths to make sure I can understand what they're saying - especially if there's background noise. Still, that was hilarious to hear eye contact described as sucking each other's jelly balls. 🤣

I wasn’t diagnosed until 24. I’m 29 now. Glad to see that we’re not alone. Hilarious bit, Joe. You did a good job! 👍🏻

I have Asperger's myself and found this really funny, I'm also an aspiring stand up comedian too, so inspiring really to see this, keep up the good work.

As a fellow Portsmouth chap I love seeing how well you're doing and how the crowds embrace your comedy. You've got a brilliant style that is refreshing and doesn't rely on shock or foul language. Plus you're dead on about the headphones. Invest in decent ones!

My voice always confused me I live in South Africa and for people who don't know South Africans have the best accent in the world and my family talks very posh so it's that sexy South African voices. And then you get me with a voice that doesn't sound like any of there's I later find out it's because I have an Austistic accent but for my whole life before that people thought I sounded American. So what I've gathered from this is People in my country think America's sound Austistic. But also they find it incredibly sexy.

well, after some short increase in volume the noise would have stopped. so what's wrong with that?

I wasn't sure about the jelly balls thing at first but as he built it up, my laughter built up and culiminated in uproarious belly laughter. Genius. I love it when comedians can frame mundane thinngs in ridiculous artistic ways. Bravo. "I don't mind my own voice because whenever I know my own voice is coming I just speak over it". Beautifully sureal and hilarious!!

That is an amazingly funny set. Well done, and thank you.

You're ability to land a great callback is top notch ...good luck in Faversham.

Hi Joe so proud of you . You truly are an inspiration to the autistic community and you are creating awareness for autism also you have addressed a serious issue wherby instead of being diagnosed as children diagnosis for autism is made in adulthood.

Tough crowd at the start I felt, I think he’s great. Brilliant with story telling too. I also find it weird to maintain eye contact with people. I find looking at people’s eyes a bit weird, I tend to focus on the nose and mouth. I thought perhaps I was autistic but I’m rubbish with music, maths and art, so I guess unfortunately I’m not.

Now that's exactly how I would imagine your average sign language interpreter.

As an autistic germaphobe I would lose my shit if someone puked on me.

Interesting... I'm a female autistic, and female voices are on my top three things I hate. To me, (most) female voices are like nails on a chalkboard, so I can really only be acquainted with females with huskier voices (like myself). But for real... the eye contact thing. Yeah. I know I'm supposed to, so I can turn my head toward the person, but for some reason, no matter how hard I try, my jelly balls will not cooperate with following the motion of my head.

I think it's the build up of lots of voices in public. The sudden changes in volume, big groups laughing all of a sudden etc it's more that mens voices are generally louder than the raspy/scratchyness. music (even gangsta rap) I know whats coming and it tends to be only one voice at a time.
