That’s the kinda a man you need running a company. Very straightforward and not afraid to put ‘the truth’ out there (taking the hit). Impressive.
Just hire autistics for every occasion, we do a great job and we're VERY focused..
What? His understanding of economy obviously was out the window.
That’s his autism (genuinely) Elon Musk is also autistic, when it’s high functioning, these people are unrivalled in their intelligence and efficiency
Love it I wish him luck 👏
@@Gonken88he may have flawed business application but his knowledge of all his business numbers is far greater than 90"% of what we see on the show.just needs a little coaching is all
Finally a pitch without someone whining, sulking and crying about their sickness, bad fortune etc. Love this guy.
I presume this is sarcasm, very nicely done
Did you watch the video?!
@@jptiger773 No
It's an oldie
Between 3:33 and 3:40 the opposite is mentioned.
I can tell you autism is such a struggle for all. Some have the ability to thrive of it and this individual is so highly intelligent it’s so beautiful to see.
What a generic bot response.
your response is a lot more botty@@BenjaminGoose
He did a great job representing himself.
Can you really? You can says that on behalf of ALL AUTISTIC PEOPLE WORLDWIDE?!
No you damn well can't.
First of all, there are many autistic people who are very happy indeed with being autistic.
Secondly, I recommend that you read about the social model of disability.
Massive respect to this man, even if his books weren’t great he showed how neurodiversity can be an asset not a curse and delivered one of the best pitches I’ve ever seen!
If he did have neurodiversity he wouldn't (simply couldn't) be standing there on TV.
Too many creeps going aeound claiming disability.
All he's doing is selling clothes - the reason he can't grow anymore is that ALL the clothes makers ALREADY make XL, XXL and XXXL clothing.
He's created nothing new and certainly not a USP by patting himself on the back and telling everyone and anyone that he suffers from autism.
LOL.
Our trusted leadership of society says all out of ordinary is a curse, a diagnosis, a diability. Its crazy
@@jolin8493 They have to make up some sort of story to try and get the people's attention, so how's about strongly exaggerating some small mishap that some fool doctor diagnosed for lack of anything else.
Pitiful.
But hey: He came ion for an investment and he got one. It's all in the art of selling your story and making it "credible". Nothing else.
*neurodivergence
@@davidcoen9021 BS - It's a story that supports his pitch. Just like all of them.
You see so many pitchers fumbling over even the most basic numbers of their business but this man had full control and gave them straight answers every time. Props for that.
This lad is amazing he has a mind of steel and aimed for the stars
Oh my God. I’m so happy for him. This are the kind of stories I can spend my entire day listening to instead of negative and toxic media
One of the best pitches I've ever seen. What a guy.
Shame his company is in liquidation 💀
I got autism and I don't lie when I say that I wanted to see another member of the community in dragons den.
Same here this is the first episode that's made me cry lol
You haven't 'got' autism, you are autistic.
I have autism and I couldn’t give less of a fook. Some of the greatest minds in history were on the spectrum - if anything, we have the advantage. Of course a hyper obsessive individual is going to be successful? I enjoy watching the normal folk attempt to succeed instead.
No one "gets" autism, you're born with it.
😂👏@@wedontexist369
Touker to the rescue. Thank you Touker for giving him a go. Awesome.
lets goo
Touka always know what to do💚
This guy's character is rock solid and straightforward like no other. Impressive!
One of the best pitch I’ve seen on here. And Steven, I see what you did there.
Shoutout to Steven!
Nobody cares. This pitch is boring
I also have autism and function similar to this man. loved seeing this so much. Inspiring.
He is autistic but presented perfectly much better than I would and remembered all his numbers, they often say it's people with some sort of disabilities that are amazing at other things
That's because autism at this level is hardly a disability - it's just a behaviorial difference. Like someone might be inclined to aggression, or a crybaby.
Clean and beautiful. When you enter the den with an objective and you get it do not get greedy, valued the right person and he did read the room perfectly. Well done
This shows the talent in neurodiversity. It is important society becomes awake. Thankfully, there are large organisations who have changed their HR processes to invite such talent but there is a long way to go !!!
Stigma going away finally. Whilst some neurodivergent people can unfortunately be a ‘burden’ to a company and sometimes hired just to fill quotas. Others can perform much better than colleagues with the correct support in place.
Nerves of steel, no bullshit and simple
honesty
I'd love to be his friend. Got plenty of time for blokes like him.
lol
😂😂😂😂😂
How is this comment funny?dude is clearly a sound guy and the original commentator clearly meant that.
You’re life is depressing
I highly respect this man. Indeed it was a great pitch despite when the balance sheet came out. So pleased Touker made an offer.
What a heart warning pitch by Ben! He has so much courage. I'm impressed!!!! He's been on a journey that's affected his mind and body but his determination is incredible!! ❤❤
Lovely to hear the dragons say nice things to a well deserved person hope he continues to do well
Inspiring fella
What a powerhouse man ... The guys made it and hes proper confident..
this was a good one, one of the best pitches i've seen on this show
Actually Tuka wants to celebrate with Ben Pearson but yeah people with autism are not that social. He just left, but deep inside we know he is super happy that Tuka is on board! Congrats Ben! I love you so much! You are such a crystal clear entrepreneur! I want to meet you one day ❤
This was filmed during covid.
He probably did wanna celebrate though but the reason they didn't wasn't becayse of Autism, was just because it was Covid. Who knows though maybe it would have ended up going the same way even if it wasn't during Covid.
@@JLA91 that is possible too
This guy is an inspiration,
Straightforward right to the point,
Bravo.👏👏👏
Well said don't let anyone stand in your way ✅
Great guy with a great heart. Great example to all entrepreneurs on how to properly pitch and not mumble. A lot of respect goes to him. 👏👏👏
Very inspirational from someone having autism. I'm really really impressed. Well done Touker for giving him a chance. I also love how he didnt hesitate to accept Touker's offer.
Absolutely proud of him for this. I won't let this anxiety I struggle with stop me.
Amen get it 🎉
🙏🙏 I have lots of health problems and all I can tell u guys out there is be positive and fight for what u want, I neally died three times and I am still here, Be positive and u will succeed in life 🙏🙏
Inspiring story,well done sir.
Holy smoke, man... keep going, you're doing amazing! Also, really striking look you been in a music video or so?
Now this is the guy you need to represent us Autistics!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
yeah someone who inherited a million quid almost and started a business............ if he did it from scratch you would have a point
Love these older pitches and episodes
What a great guy, best of luck to him!
Great guy good to see a straight talker
Lol people don’t talk straight do they ?
What an inspiring guy, what an amazing story of persistence and determination. I wish Ben and Touker much success.
Wow this was absolutely inspirational 😊💕✨️
he got almost 1 million inheritance.... that made him a success
Well done - so inspiring!!
Simple, straight & effective, no messing around bosh! 💰
Loved this episode!
Probably the best episode I’ve seen. So pleased he got an investment. I hope he finds success.
The best episode I have seen!
Absolutely phenomenal entrepreneur and pitch! I really admire his story, his presentation, his calm and just so happy he got the investment from the investor he wanted! Well done Ben! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Great stuff and inspiring ! Bravoooo 🎉
Fantastic pitch what a man, I've never been so pleased to see someone get a investment.
Good luck to you Ben!!
Crunching those numbers on the balance sheet just boggles my mind.😮
One of the few segments where Touker is the sole investor!😅
that was brilliant
Very worthy entrepreneur.. congrats and wishing you every sucess.. God Bless..
Well done Tuka, your a class act and Im sure you will do well out of that investment in so many ways.
What an inspiring man. Wishes you best of luck!
Lad is sensational
Relax.
@@hmq9052people have lost their minds
Fantastic Tucker 🎉❤🎉❤
What a Great lad !
ah this guy is fantastic. such a lovely and clever guy
The mind is a powerfull thing!! He wasnt scared or intimidated one bit...fairplay mate well done im proud of you 👏
I can't figure out the balance sheet... He would effectively need about £1.5m fixed assets net book value for it to balance.
Big respect to this bloke 👌🏽 nothing kept him down and now his smashing it , well done fella 👍🏼🙏🏽
I love that the guy starts introducing himself while he is walking into the room
What a legend. Love this guy.
Awesome ........... just Awesome! All the best mate.
I can't decide if he was unlucky because he has autism, or he was lucky because he was left hundreds of thousands my his grandad. I think most people in his shoes would have wasted all that money. Good on him!
Incredibly inspirational man and well done Touker
Indeed a great pitch.
Best ever !! Great dude!!
So happy for him! Amazing and so inspirational! With Tuka he will definitely be going places!
More people like this in the world please. Super inspiring!
Great job mate
That is a man on a mission. He will succeed no doubt
What a truly nice man he is !
Best of luck
Well done for everything you have done so far
Inspirational! Well done that man 👏
Well done and hats off to TS for investing! The guy deserved the business break!
And thats how its done A nigh on perfect pitch
What an incredible man. My hat goes off to you, sir 😊
A truly inspiring individual.
made my day this
This has to be one of best most inspiring pitches I've ever seen on Dragon's Den. He's a true inspiration & certainly acquitted himself well despite suffering from anxiety among other things.
Inspired,great guy🎉
Fantastic good luck for the future 💪😊✌️
ah man what a lovely bloke
Thanks tuka
What a great guy. Very good business
4:14 Touker is on the edge lol.
Well done!
My grandson has WAGR syndrome and autism. I love him to bits and I’m always impressed by his view on life and how he sees things so differently .
The only thing that I absolutely infuriates me is when adults who should know better and kids bully him.
If Granny ever gets to witness this ,then I wouldn’t like to be in their shoes!
Best pitch ever !!!
an inspiration in a very personal way for me.
inspiring stuff
Inspirational man.
What an inspiring man!
Nice to see Big Loz getting some modelling work 💪
What an inspiring man
fair play matey. I'll be looking to get some stuff soon
What an inspiring man .
Ben has earned our respect.
Nobody cares
Another grand day out 👍, is that the cafe at the top of Ashbourne 🤔?
So awesome good for him
Why’s Steven writing poetry?
