Hello From Jamie & Lion
Hello!
I thought i should introduce myself and the lion
, My name is jamie knight, i am a slightly autistic web designer / developer / all rounder based in taunton UK.
I run two companies (+ Lion, for accessibility stuff, and presentations on autism) and my own little web development studio. I have been working online for a few years and due to my personal use of the web accessibly is strong interest of mine.
My Accessibility experience is quite limited, i have a lot of practical stuff from my own experiences and from working with others on the spectrum (teacher other how to use iPhones as AAC, and teaching people to use voiceover and the like) but my wider experiences are quite limited, i just started + Lion to offer my thoughts and whatnot to the wider world (and to stop myself form getting confused when invoicing people!)
I have a plushie called lion who is always with me, he write about autism (from time to time) at www.lickr.co.uk and he helps me to communicate and feel safe.
Outside of worky stuff, i enjoy computers (alot, macs the most, woot terminal) and mountain biking! I also do some stuff with organisations around youth and learning disability advocacy.
So i thinks that about it, i am really excited to have found this forum, and look forward to learning and sharing!

Welcome to the forum Jamie! I've seen your name before when someone here linked to Boagworld; I half-remembered your name, but it was Lion who clinched it.
