The Traitors star Dan Bird has been praised for ‘changing lives’ with a book about his experiences living with autism. The 33-year-old bank risk manager from Liverpool was one of the Faithfuls on this season of the BBC series before being banished last week.

Ahead of the show starting, Dan spoke about how he ‘wasn’t too bothered’ about conforming too much, which he attributed to being neurodiverse. Before appearing on The Traitors, Dan released a book last year which fans have said has made a massive difference to their lives.

Go Neuro Way: An autistic person’s adventure travelling the world details Dan’s travels across five continents and offers advice to ‘other autistic people, carers of neurodiverse individuals and anyone who enjoys travelling as much as he does’.

It was when he was 27 that Dan received his diagnosis, after which he said, ‘so many of the challenges he’d experienced in life made sense’. Since then, he’s adapted the way he travels based on his specific needs and challenges and also ‘found ways to harness his autistic strengths to make his overseas explorations more wholesome, memorable and personalised’.
