Ready for a talk that’s honest, humorous and truly heartfelt?
🎤 Join us for an unforgettable session with Chris Bonnello from Autistic Not Weird, where he shares the valuable life lessons he wishes he’d known growing up autistic.
Through personal insight, stories filled with warm humour and real-world take-aways, this talk is perfect for parents and young people alike who want fresh perspectives on living your best neurodivergent life. 
✨ Chris is a national and international autism speaker, award-winning writer and former teacher who speaks with humour, humility and deep insight. His talks leave audiences feeling more connected, understood and inspired.
Jaz Ampaw-Farr, Speaker of the Year, says he delivers keynotes “that go way beyond inspiration.”
