Author of "That's Not Right! My Life Living with Asperger's". Buy on Amazon in paperback or kindle.

My personality is colourful, quirky and fun. I love wearing bright, multi-coloured, flowery and flamboyant clothes. I am focused, determined and have a lust for life. I consider myself lucky to have Asperger's because I believe it will be the catalyst that allows me to "Pursue my Passions" and achieve my dreams!

I present talks on "My Life Living with Asperger's" to many different companies, law firms, universities, schools and autism groups. I have presented talks to places such as Coca Cola, Linklaters, Viacom, Zurich Insurance and the Autism Shows across the UK. I have also written many articles and had many TV & Radio interviews on my Asperger's, have started my own "Autism & Football" campaign and appeared on series 10 & 11 of "The Undateables" on Channel 4.

My ambition is to be a Television Presenter for children and share my passion and fun to inspire young people everywhere. My goal is to develop innovative TV programs for children and I had my own show, “Rainbow Man” reviewed by the Cbeebies commissioning team. I also presented my own Children's show on Solihull Radio every Sunday for 2 years.
