Daniel Giles OAM
Daniel is a young man living on the autism spectrum who works tirelessly as an advocate for people on the Autism Spectrum and all disabilities/disadvantages.
He was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 2.5 years. As a child, he experienced delays in verbal communication, did not understand social interactions and attended a special school.
With support from his family and many others, he transitioned his education to mainstream schooling. He then went on to achieve a Bachelor of Graphic Design (Hons) at University.
As an adult he lives independently, works part-time as a graphic designer and photographer, and does a range of volunteer work. He is also passionate about educating the community about living with Autism and mentoring others who live on the spectrum.
He was honoured to receive the Order of Australia Medal in 2017 for his services to disability & the Community.
Daryl Giles
Daryl is proudly the father of Daniel and Daniel's three amazing sisters.
He is inspired and in awe of Daniel's self advocacy work and all that he has achieved in his short life. After several years of discussing the possibility of a collaboration with Daniel, Daryl has come on board to present with Daniel and provide a parent's perspective of Daniel's life journey from his diagnosis through to the incredible recognition of Daniel's work when he was awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in 2017.
Daryl hopes to bring some insight to the parent's role in achieving best outcomes for their child on the autism spectrum. Daryl has always been a hands-on parent and willing to do what is needed to achieve the best outcomes.
We aim to bring our story far and wide and in doing so we endeavor to provide our audiences with:
- A better insight of the mind of a person on the Autism Spectrum
- Some ideas for strategies to achieve best outcomes both at home and in school settings
- Hope to the parents and families of children on the Autism Spectrum
