'I'm neurodivergent and here's why you should watch ITV's The Assembly'


The Assembly sees some familiar faces get grilled by a panel of neurodivergent and/or learning disabled interviewers on a range of topics. And it's a breath of fresh air.

Danny Dyer, 47, himself spent a whopping three hours with the panel, baring his soul about everything from his humble beginnings to the trials and tribulations of being a dad, husband, and public figure. The Assembly celebrates autism and neurodiversity like no other showThings like direct eye contact, brutal honesty, straight-to-the-point questions, daring fashion choices and passionate hobbies aren't swept under the rug - they're put in the spotlight. Fast forward to 2025, and thanks to high-profile figures like Christine McGuinness and Sue Devaney speaking out, we're finally seeing some progress in neurodivergent representation - but true inclusion means acknowledging the difficult parts too.
