Bradley Riches

Bradley Riches first communicated through sound and movement, but after his autism diagnosis at age 9, he found his voice in acting. Now, he stars as James in Netflix's Heartstopper, a character who, like Bradley, is both queer and autistic. Recently, he won over audiences on Big Brother by sharing his journey with autism. In this episode, Bradley talks with Ben about being non-speaking, experiencing Big Brother through an autistic lens, finding his voice through acting, and his recent engagement.
