About The AutistiX

"I Am As I Am"

The AutistiX are a unique rock band from Camden Town, London, UK,

Unique? Our youngest band members cope with autism and bring all its creativity to the stage. , We write our own rousing songs (working on our 5th EP) and also bring a new sound to a select few covers. We’re a high-octane addition to every festival, performing on stages up and down the country; in the UK and abroad. 


The band has been joined by Leo Long, the main protagonist of 'I Used To Be Famous'. He plays the electric bouzouki and bass with us and rounds out our sound and stage presence. Our drummer Saul Zur-Szpiro inspired, and cameoed in, this Netflix film – centering on a washed up rock star and an autistic musician. It did really well, No.2 in the UK, No.4 globally,. It features The AutistiX track I Am As I Am.

 

Our stage act is high-energy, high-laughs and low-faff. There are six of us - neurodiverse and neurotypical. young and old  - on guitars, drums, vocals and harmonica, joined by friends when possible. ​​We’ve performed in iconic venues and gritty pubs. On TV and across social media. Electric and acoustic. From Brighton to Bucharest. In Potters Bar and Pamplona. We’re ready to rock.

I Used to Be Famous is an uplifting and endearing Netflix outing

October 2023

The tale of a former boy band member who finds unexpected friendship with an autistic drummer might seem too low-key to make an impact on the streaming service. 

You should make the effort to seek out I Used to Be Famous though as it's an uplifting and endearing watch. It's a movie that signposts its ultimate destination, yet it's done with such heart that you'll cry happy tears by the end all the same.

Adapting from his own short film of the same name (with the movie co-written by Zak Klein), Sternberg based the character of Stevie on his cousin, who is autistic and a drummer.

That personal connection is evident in how the filmmaker chose to cast a neurodivergent actor as Stevie, as well as having several neurodivergent actors in the movie's stand-out drum circle scenes.
