"When I fly I am a very different person, I am my true self"

Ask yourself this question: Would you be comfortable with the pilot of your plane being Autistic?

With his passion for promoting real inclusion for people on the Spectrum, Hayden McDonald (22) is Australia's first "Unofficial" Pilot who is Autistic to fly solo across Australia.

"Don't want to take that risk and doesn't want to be Neurodiverse Friendly" is when Hayden speaks with Angus and Dylan on the significance of dismantling barriers between people with disabilities and the aviation workforce.

Hayden also talks about how he went from being mute as a child to public speaking all over Australia. Sharing his own stage preparation techniques when it comes to public speaking on his own social media platforms, at educational events, and even at Parliament House.
