Daniel Jones is an autism advocate, influencer, author and creator whose work has transformed public understanding of autism in adulthood. He is best known as the founder of The Aspie World, the world’s largest YouTube channel dedicated to adults on the autism spectrum. Through his compelling presence both online and on stage, Daniel provides audiences with a deeper appreciation of neurodiversity and the strengths that emerge when society embraces different ways of thinking and processing the world.
In the early stages of his career, Daniel discovered his passion for communication and digital media. After receiving his Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis in adulthood, he recognised the lack of relatable information and support for autistic adults. Motivated by his own sensory challenges and unique cognitive experiences, he set out to create content that would help others feel seen and understood. What began as a personal project soon developed into a vibrant online platform, as Daniel’s honest and practical approach resonated with viewers seeking insight into autism beyond childhood narratives.
As his influence continued to grow, Daniel collaborated with respected organisations including the BBC and the National Autistic Society. His advocacy work has reached global audiences through features on major media outlets such as the BBC and HuffPost. Daniel’s book, 'Autism for Adults', further established him as a trusted voice, supporting readers with tools to navigate everyday situations while building confidence and self-worth. Across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, Daniel has cultivated a community of more than 700,000 people who share, learn and celebrate neurodiversity together. His worldwide speaking engagements have enabled him to engage directly with individuals, families, educators and industry professionals seeking to develop a more inclusive society.
Daniel is hired as a motivational speaker because he brings an authentic and uplifting message grounded in real lived experience. He speaks with warmth, clarity and humour, enabling audiences to connect personally with topics that are often misunderstood. His storytelling bridges gaps between autistic and neurotypical perspectives, showing how positive change occurs when differences are recognised and valued. Daniel’s mission centres on empowering autistic people to embrace their identity and thrive, while helping others understand how to offer meaningful support. Whether addressing a large conference or a local community group, he inspires confidence, compassion and progress. Daniel Jones challenges assumptions and encourages everyone to recognise that autism is not a barrier but a powerful and important way of experiencing the world.
