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.
One of the best pitches I've ever seen. What a guy.
Shame his company is in liquidation 💀
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
Touker to the rescue. Thank you Touker for giving him a go. Awesome.
lets goo
I also have autism and function similar to this man. loved seeing this so much. Inspiring.
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
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
This guy's character is rock solid and straightforward like no other. Impressive!
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
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
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.
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!! ❤❤
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
Lovely to hear the dragons say nice things to a well deserved person hope he continues to do well
Inspiring fella
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
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. 👏👏👏
this was a good one, one of the best pitches i've seen on this show
Absolutely proud of him for this. I won't let this anxiety I struggle with stop me.
Amen get it 🎉
Inspiring story,well done sir.
What an inspiring guy, what an amazing story of persistence and determination. I wish Ben and Touker much success.

Fantastic Tucker 🎉❤🎉❤
What a Great lad !
What a legend. Love this guy.
Crunching those numbers on the balance sheet just boggles my mind.😮
One of the few segments where Touker is the sole investor!😅
Fantastic pitch what a man, I've never been so pleased to see someone get a investment.
that was brilliant
Inspirational! Well done that man 👏
Indeed a great pitch.
I love that the guy starts introducing himself while he is walking into the room
What a truly nice man he is !
Lad is sensational
Relax.
@@hmq9052people have lost their minds
Best ever !! Great dude!!
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.
What an incredible man. My hat goes off to you, sir 😊
A truly inspiring individual.
Best of luck
Well done for everything you have done so far
Well done!
made my day this
That is a man on a mission. He will succeed no doubt
Well done and hats off to TS for investing! The guy deserved the business break!
Fantastic good luck for the future 💪😊✌️
Inspired,great guy🎉
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!
What an inspiring man
ah man what a lovely bloke
an inspiration in a very personal way for me.
Thanks tuka
What an inspiring man!
What a great guy. Very good business
I can't figure out the balance sheet... He would effectively need about £1.5m fixed assets net book value for it to balance.
Inspirational man.
fair play matey. I'll be looking to get some stuff soon
What an inspiring man .
Best pitch ever !!!
inspiring stuff
Another grand day out 👍, is that the cafe at the top of Ashbourne 🤔?
Nice to see Big Loz getting some modelling work 💪
A lot of respect for this man...we know Tuker was throwing him a lifeline but he deserves it
Good for him ❤
Thats the kind of man we need to run the country.
Just looked at his records. Touker didnt join him. Certainly not on paper records. How sad. Im sure it would have worked. And best wishes to the young man for his tenacity and efforts.
he is a nervous wreck by his own admission, he wouldnt last a day
What an amazing personality! Wouldn make an offer just learn from him and help him grow. Any business, any time!
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!
Ben is amazing we are all standing by you 💖,
Loool get real
Someone put on here it’s nice to see someone not whining the first thing he did was tell them he was in care
I Love A Happy Ending 😊
I'm super super impressed!!! ❤
4:14 Touker is on the edge lol.
