Chris P Taylor has spent thirty years in rooms learning how people work. A late AuDHD diagnosis rewrote everything he thought he knew. Now he talks about mental health, neurodiversity, and the kindness that turns out to be the only strategy that actually works.
Thirty years of performing. One late diagnosis. Spectacular mistakes. Real failure, named and examined in public. This is what it sounds like when someone finally stops managing the room and starts being honest with it.
Your organisation doesn't have a HR problem. It has a mental health problem that HR is making worse. People don't need HR. They need MH.
The neurodivergent brain isn't a broken neurotypical brain. It's a different role in the tribe — one that was essential before the Industrial Revolution told everyone they had to be the same shape to fit the same machine. That's been taken away from us.
The entire thesis in one image. Competition produces chaos. Cooperation produces results. The audience proves it to themselves — no slide deck required.
The choice isn't whether to engage with AI. It's whose AI you end up using — trained by whom, pointing at what, mirroring which values. The talk that makes rooms go quiet. Not sad-quiet. Urgent-quiet.
Capitalism measures success by what you accumulate. This measures it by what you compress — how much kindness, how much genuine help you can pack into a morning, a conversation, a life. Unlike wealth, it multiplies when you give it away.
Everyone in the room is carrying something that makes no sense to them — until the right person comes along who needs exactly that piece. The autistic colleague. The late-diagnosed adult. The quiet one in the back. They have the bit you've been looking for.
Domestication as the illness. Going back to who you actually were as the cure. Funny. Honest. Occasionally devastating. Every person in that room has something they stopped doing because someone told them to. This is the talk that gives it back to them.
"Everybody you meet is a friend you've yet to know."
Every talk is built from the same source — the life, the diagnosis, the proof, the philosophy. What changes is the frame. Each room gets its own version. The Chamber of Commerce gets the AI and wellbeing angle. The medical conference gets the patient advocacy. The rave crowd gets PLUR. Same man. Same truth.
45–60 minutes. No slides. Just the talk — delivered from the inside of a brain the audience will recognise. Opens conferences. Closes them better.
Same brain. Same stories. More wine in the room. Earns every laugh by telling the truth. Memorable in the taxi home.
Mental health, neurodiversity, the Donut Protocol. For organisations genuinely trying to get it right — not tick a box.
Prescribed medical cannabis patient. Spent years getting the diagnosis wrong before getting it right. Speaks from lived experience at conferences, clinics, advocacy events.
Kindness as survival strategy. The balloon story. The 3AM watcher. For the brains in the room that aren't like yours — and the ones that are.
PLUR. The resistance. The rave floor as the original safe space. For audiences who know exactly what it means to build community from nothing.
AuDHD means the perfectly right word can disappear mid-sentence on stage. Chris solved this the way a musician reads sheet music — with technology that holds the words so the delivery stays human.
Every talk is written, refined, and loaded onto AR glasses (Even G2 or Meta Ray-Ban Display) that show clean text only — just the words, no interface, no distractions. The audience sees someone speaking from presence and truth. Because they are. The glasses just hold the page. Every talk can be fully bespoke for the room — written with AI, voiced by Chris, delivered as though it's pouring out naturally. Because it was written from the heart.
Chris P Taylor spent the first five decades of his life being told, in various polite and impolite ways, that he was doing it wrong. He was louder than he should have been in some rooms, quieter than expected in others. He made mistakes that baffled the people around him. He made connections that baffled him.
Then he got a diagnosis. Late. Very late. And suddenly every single one of those mistakes made complete sense — not as failures, but as the entirely logical output of a brain that processes the world differently from the one everyone had been assuming he had.
He spent thirty years performing — magic, comedy, hypnosis — learning how rooms work, how people work, how to hold attention and then use it for something useful. Now he talks instead. The stories are the same. The audience gets more out of it.
In 1989 he toured Germany with a band called Big World — 22 gigs, November to Christmas Day. The Berlin Wall came down while he was there. He visited Bergen-Belsen. He was in his twenties and didn't fully understand what he was standing in the middle of. He's going back now, thirty-seven years later, to find out.
