The driving force behind Autism Progress, our MD Dale Pickles has 20 years of experience working with schools to support students with SEND. He is also host of the SENDcast, the #1 podcast for Special Needs.

Recently Dale has been on a personal journey, receiving a diagnosis of ASC and ADHD. Listen to this special episode to hear Dale’s reasons and motivation of why he felt the need to do this at this time in his life and what the diagnosis means to him. Dale gives an honest and open view on the process he has been through, reflects on his childhood and family, the reactions he has received from others since diagnosis and the impact it has had.
