Autistic Man Gains Masters Degree
A press release I was very pleased to receive. This is what inclusion can do.
A graduate with autism has gained his masters degree from the University of Brighton.
Logan Osborne’s proud parents praised their son for winning what was a “real battle” for him.
His father Christopher, said: “It has not been easy for him, as all parents with autistic children will realise. Their little habits, rituals, lack of contact with others and anxieties have all had to be overcome. But it shows it can be done.”
Logan said he received “excellent” support from the university’s Disability and Dyslexia team: “I didn’t encounter any prejudice from any students that I know of. I found my tutors were very helpful and I always felt that I could talk things over with them and help check my work if help was needed.”
Logan first gained a BSc(Hons) in Geography in 2013 and now has an MSc in Geographical Information Systems and Environmental Management. He is now looking for a job in geographical information systems.
Logan’s father added: “It may come as some comfort to other parents who have autistic children that, with the right support and a supportive family, nothing is impossible.”
Same Difference 
Huge congratulations for the young man. His family must be so proud 🙂 The achievements that one can do when you have a wonderful family with you all the way, and of course, the determination of Logan himself, shows that nothing is out of reach.
Again, well done Logan.
