This charity provides help and factse about autism to families with an autistic child, to help them understand how to deal with this. Denis, speaks in many schools about this common disease and explains what happens to the person with it. Denis has experience witht his subject as his son, Jonny Sexton was born with autism and can barely speak.n The last time Denis heard his son speak was 7 years ago, and Jonny is not 27 living with his parents for comfort and care.
