In this weeks episode, I speak with Jack Fitzpatrick who shares his journey through the education system with support via an early diagnosis of Autism and Dyspraxia.


He is now putting that experience to use and working towards supporting others.


We discuss:


Jack's journey from childhood to University


The work he did with an incredible organisation, implementing systems and processes to support Neurodivergent staff  


We also discuss the support he received from physiotherapy and OT Gaining educational support – which had a profound impact with the help and support of his parents to be successful


All in all Jack is an incredible example of what can be achieved given the right care, support and platform to succeed. He is now using that experience to pay it forwards which gives me the faith and hope that we can expect a more inclusive world in the future, than we have today. That's if Jack reflects the wider generation he represents.
