About me

My name is Kyle Ziegler, I am 24 years old, was born in Bülach and now live in the canton of Thurgau.

I have my parents to thank for getting me started on social media. They supported me – behind the camera, with ideas, feedback and even financially. This enabled me to take my first steps and learn how to present and express myself.

I like to try new things, even things that seem unusual at first glance or take some effort to overcome. For me, openness is part of that – even when it comes to topics that others prefer to keep quiet about. When it comes to autism in particular, I would like to see more honesty. Many people close themselves off instead of remaining curious. I have learned that with courage and openness, you can always make progress, even if it sometimes takes a little push from outside.

I have many interests.
I enjoy working with wood or in the garden, tinkering with technology, constantly trying out new things and photographing construction sites. Sport is also an important part of my life: cycling, downhill biking, running, swimming and even horse riding give me strength and energy.

Despite sending out loads of applications, I still haven't had any luck finding an apprenticeship or a job – it's just rejection after rejection. My disability pension also puts up barriers: further education, saving money or becoming truly self-employed are pretty much impossible. All of this has shaped me, but it's also encouraged me to go my own way.

That's how I became a content creator. In my content, I talk a lot about my life, about the things that were difficult, but also about what I want to achieve. However, being a content creator is not my actual goal – it was just my starting point.

I see my future in the creative industry:

as a model – for clothing, jewellery and other products,
as an actor – in films, series or music videos,
as a voice actor – for cartoons, series or films that I would like to dub into standard British English.

I have a clear vision, especially when it comes to acting: when autistic people are portrayed in films or series, people with autism should play these roles. Every autistic person is different, and only real experiences bring authenticity to the screen.

Of course, my path is not always easy. I encounter a lot of negative comments on the internet – the majority are critical or even hostile. But there is also a small, valuable group of people who treat me with respect and offer me honest support. It is these few voices in particular that give me the strength to carry on.

Autism is not an obstacle – it is my life.
My goal is to be independent, live out my passions and take control of my own future.

So far, I've done everything on my own: through videos, trial and error, and my own experiences. I don't have an agency, a manager, or a coach to guide me. That's why I'm all the more delighted when I find people who support me on this journey – whether through an agency, professional coaching, or joint projects.

Yours, Kyle
