His professional background is further and higher education, special education needs, organization and genetics. Being from a family with a history of Autism meant it has always been a part of his “normal” life and brings a radical new voice to its understanding and implication while lending a uniquely powerful and sharply different perspective to assessing and providing a high quality of educational and life experience for affected people, whether children, adults in the workplace or seniors- each group has their own particular viewpoint and needs. Autism is for life-and is seldom understood that way by society. A highly professional and experienced Teacher, Research Academic and Counsellor, with broad Learning Disability skills.
