Kyle Jamie Eldridge, a 26-year-old autistic university student and town councilor from Wales, shares his inspiring journey from a challenging childhood to political success. Diagnosed with autism at 14 during his parents’ divorce, Kyle overcame early academic struggles with only three GCSEs to eventually pursue business management at university while serving his local community as an elected official. His story demonstrates remarkable resilience as he navigated family breakup, multiple relocations across England and Wales, and personal trauma to find his passion in politics and community service. Kyle’s accidental entry into politics through the Brexit referendum led to him winning the highest percentage of votes in his local election, proving that autism need not be a barrier to civic engagement and leadership roles.
