    I think this is marvellous.He is very well known,respected and admired amongst a broad range of people.I think any positive light shed on Autism is such a great opportunity as it opens the door for others in the public eye to come forward too.It not only lifts any stigmas or misconceptions but may be educational if it creates an interest with the audience

    I won't be taking anything at face value from half of a vaudeville comedy act. 'Sorry Ollie'! 😥

    Seriously though, I had to look him up.

    So if you didn't know him why bother to comment with your first message ?

    Through his ju-jitsu he is making people aware of Autism. He mentioned it when he was at a press conference for his film Venom, with Actor Tom Holland who has said he has dyslexia. Also late Ozzy Osborne had dyslexia as well. I think it good that they say they these conditions, so people can see and accept us , not treat us as making things up, like reform Richard Tice
