For Andrew Edwards, cricket is more than a sport he watches and participates in, it鈥檚 become an 鈥渆scape鈥�.

His love for the sport goes back to his childhood when he was also diagnosed with autism at age four.
Edwards tell Sportshour鈥檚 Caroline Barker how falling in love with cricket as a child has helped him with his autism.

He also explains how his worries slip away when he鈥檚 watching a Test match, how loud music at T20 games affects him and how the very clear rules in cricket can make the sport appealing to people who are neurodiverse.

Autism affects how people communicate and interact with other people and anxiety in unfamiliar surroundings or at social events, while bright lights and loud noises can be overwhelming.
