" Tony has visited many of our schools to give inspiring talks about his personal journey, being diagnosed as autistic as an adult, as well as the various job roles and passions he’s had that have led him to where he is today. He’s shone a beacon for our neurodiverse pupils, with his positive and motivational sessions. He’s enabled our young people to believe that they are worthy, they can do it and that neurodiversity should be celebrated and not hidden away."
