Russell Robinson Speaking at ID8 Event in London

This ID8 talk is me, Russell Robinson, sharing what happened when my son hit breaking point in mainstream school and had to leave when he was 10. His mental health crashed, and I left my career to stay home and keep him safe. That’s when I went deep into understanding how autistic minds work — and had the turning point: learning sticks when it’s built around their strongest interests and deep focus.

ID8 is a TED-style spin-off with short, punchy talks, and I was invited to speak by Anna Anderson and Chris Anderson (TED). In this video I explain how that insight became Game Changers — and how our mentors now help neurodivergent young people across London and the UK build confidence through creative arts and tech.
