Author: Simon Lewin

Simon Lewin was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome at 31 years old. The majority of his life was interrupted by high functioning anxiety, bouts of depression, relationship issues and sensory processing disorder as well as being raised in a conformist society where mental health discussion was a stigma. You can imagine things were pretty confusing! Now, since being diagnosed, he has decided to not to let his past decide his future by taking accountability and discovering his true self. Simon has been learning a great deal of growth and personal development techniques with the goal being to (quote US army): be all you can be. Simon Lewin currently works as a preparation technician for an AV supplier to the events industry. His interests mainly include how things work which covers growth and personal development, human interaction, philanthropy, psychology, cars, mental health and neurodiversity awareness, neuroscience, self defense and 20th century history. If fact anything that gets his brain stimulated! He lives in the UK with his wife who is a full time carer for their Autistic son as well as being involved with a charity for children called We Shine.
