Chris Bonnello is an autistic advocate, award-winning writer and international speaker, also a novelist and special needs tutor (formerly a primary school teacher). In 2015, he launched Autistic Not Weird to share his insights from both a personal and professional perspective, a venture which has seen him build a followership of 200,000+ people across all platforms, as well as speaking engagements as far away as India and Sydney Opera House. He is the author of the "Underdogs" novels, a series of dystopia books with heroes from a special school - hailed by The Guardian as "hugely popular" and "written with furious energy" - and "What We Love Most About Life", an uplifting non-fiction book designed to help autistic young people feel less alone.
