Having attended many events in the past, and having been invited to talk and present at events around the world, Stewart has always left disheartened . Each event has been a mile stone in the development of autism awareness but every time failed in the simplest ways. From the basic to the extreme. Failing to make allowances for any autistic person present including the speaker, to over complicated and generalised information giving. The vast majority of the time the main speaker only having a pamphlet or an online video knowledge of autism, leading to a rigid view of a widely varied condition.

Just as each autistic person has differnt needs, organisations do to. Autism training needs to be simplified and designed for the needs for those receiving it. It shouldnt be seen as something that costs a lot of money to make adaptations for but as a benefit to a business.
The Future

The Future
Using the concept he developed in India, Stewart wants to offer organisations a training program to take advantage of the underutilised autistic demographic. The current prevalence rate of autism diagnosis makes the autistic community a currently unutilised resource as employees and customers.
