The West Lothian comic was diagnosed with autism in 2021
Scottish comedian Fern Brady has opened up about being a 'positive' depiction of autism as she stars on Taskmaster.
Taking to Instagram after the Taskmaster finale aired, she wrote: "It is absolutely staggering to me that a show where I painted a self portrait with a raw sausage on a toilet seat was the thing which made me profoundly accepting of my autistic self but there you go. Initially I was just excited about getting the job as I’d wanted to get a new kitchen put in.
Continuing her lengthy post, Fern added: "I’d noticed that, no matter how much weight I lost or nice clothes I wore on TV, I could still spot my autism and failed attempts to mask it onscreen Taskmaster might have little to do with autism and neurodiversity, but Fern was proud to give a 'positive depiction' of herself on the show for others to embrace. She continued: "I could do some BBC3 doc where we go into my diagnosis and I cry at the 45 minute mark. But I’d so much rather that for once, people see a happy positive depiction of neurodiversity.
