This may create difficulties with readers but the author remaining true to himself to give the reader an insight into his disability.

Chris Stewart
Chris Stewart is very happily married to Rachel and is awaiting their move to live 'off grid' in Portugal. His professional position is a nearly retired Tutor for young people with severe learning difficulties in England. He teaches Environmental Art, Outdoor Education and is a John Muir Award provider. His passion for equality and fairness comes from his own difficulties as a person with a disability and his deep Christian Faith. A very troubled childhood and youth has led him to believe that every one must have a chance to become the person that they can be. Not the person others or negative parts of society believes that they are. Knowing his success in life now gives the person reading his words in his books the opportunity to look at themselves and see a way forward from any difficulties they presently have.
