About

I’m John Ward, an autistic trainer and consultant with decades of lived experience and a late diagnosis.I help organisations understand autism from the inside out, then adjust how they support autistic adults, colleagues and clients.I deliver core modules with the lived experience and create custom presentations, workbooks and support materials.I hold a Postgraduate Certificate (Distinction) in Autism from Sheffield Hallam University, an Advanced Diploma in Nursing Studies from the University of Sheffield, and an M.Sc. in Information Systems in Management. I am also a YMCA Level 3 qualified Personal Trainer from earlier work in health and fitness.I previously delivered training with local health services, and worked in quality improvement — reviewing self-assessment reports and development plans so organisations could improve how they delivered services and keep their funding.I now design presentations, workbooks and practical workplace sessions, researched, designed and built with care.Lived experience. Clear materials. Training that can actually be used.
