Autism and the Sunflower with William Vanderpuye

By Hidden Disabilities Sunflower The Sunflower Conversations Share

 

"In a world that often seems divided, the Sunflower lanyard unites us in a shared understanding that each person’s journey is unique and we should approach one another with empathy. It reminds us that, just like the sunflower turns towards the sun for nourishment, we too can turn towards each other to cultivate a more compassionate society."

William Vanderpuye is a social worker and is autistic. In this conversation, William shares what the Sunflower means to him and the confidence and support it has given him while in education at university and now in employment.

William's employer, Sutton Council, is supportive and offers understanding and kindness so that he can succeed and excel in supporting families with learning disabilities.

This testimonial gets to the heart of what the Sunflower seeks to do, the people it aims to serve, and the community it seeks to improve.
