My speech

 Yesterday, I was asked to speak at a teachers' training about autism arranged by the Eden Wellstyle Academy, the educational wing of the company, Eden Wellstyle, founded by the renowned psychotherapist, Dov Benyaacov-Kurtzman FRSA.

I spoke about neurodiversity and autism. I spoke to the teachers about my life when I was at school, about being bullied by other kids and how I felt that my teachers never really understood me.

I told them about one teacher, who after I had brought an abundance of Haribos from another kid, saw I had so many, accused me of selling them and took the lot. I spoke about other incidents and how if the teachers would have looked out for me, I would have felt better about my school years.

I spoke about how important it is to treat a student as normal on one treating the kid as normal while also, at the same time, working with them together with their class so that everyone can understand that students with autism can also have the same interests and things in common with their classmates. 

One of the teachers there came afterwards and said, “Josh, I was one of your teachers and I had no idea you felt that way. I apologise and I now know how to deal with other kids in a similar situation to yours.”

For me this felt like a closure of some sort. I can’t go back to the past, time machines haven’t been invented yet, but I can change the future for someone else. I can use my talents and experience to help others learn and help change lives.

This is why I give lectures about my life so often. I talk on the topics of journalism, disability, autism and motivational speeches. I've given lectures in synagogues, universities, conferences and more. So if you want to order me for a lecture, let me know!

May I also add that I am glad and honoured to be doing the PR for the non-profit organization, ‘Heads Up’, on a volunteer basis. Heads Up is an emergency trauma response team who has responded in so many cases, including the Manchester Arena bombing, the Grenfell Tower fire and other disasters. 

Together we can change the world to make it a better place.

Reflection of a year to Blog

It has been just over a year since I started publishing my blog. I started writing a blog on the advice of Hillel Fuld in order to enhance my career and get more people informed about what I do. Unfortunately, as of yet, that hasn't happened, Hillel doesn't get everything right. But in a way, the blog has become a sanctuary for me to talk about my achievements, air my grievances, and let myself feel better in life. I think through the blog I have found clarity in myself on different aspects of my life, I have learned things about myself and what is necessary for me to change and I have learned skills I have that I never thought I needed or could utilise.  In sales, one must believe in the product to sell it. Through the blog, I learned that I need to believe in myself in order to sell myself. It has given me the confidence to push for things I wouldn't have necessarily done. This weekend, I was talking to a friend Martin Heimann who owns a telecommunications company in Manc...

My country is at war

I had written my blog for August and September, they were going to go up very soon but I can't put up trivial things when my country is at war, when my people and friends have been kidnapped and murdered by terrorists calling themselves freedom fighters for Palestine.  Make no mistake Hamas is not Palestine and does not represent any faction of Palestine, they are a terrorist group that cause harm to the Palestinian cause. Any person that harms civilians for their own benefit is evil. Hamas, besides the atrocities they committed last week, use civilians as bait , not allowing them to get to safety and making sure their terrorist headquarters are in vulnerable areas such as childrens' schools and UN hospitals.  As a Zionist Israeli and a left wing activist, the horror on both sides is intense, I lost friends and colleagues; innocent people, civilians who wanted to live. Also in Gaza, people have died due to being held hostage by Hamas, over 200 Israelis have been kidnapped by...
