DEADLIFTS FOR KIDS WITH AUTISM

By Mat burton

I’m doing it my way to help people on the autism spectrum.

I am raising money for children with autism by lifting 500 pounds (226kg) every day for 30 days.

As someone who is autistic and has ADHD, I understand firsthand the struggles many kids go through. My goal is to help provide the right educational support so these kids can thrive in life.

Growing up, I was often seen as the naughty kid who did not listen in class or was not very smart. The truth was not that I could not learn, but that I struggled to focus and became bored easily because I did not understand how my brain worked.

Over the last 10 years, I have built a coaching business working with lifters who have ADHD and are autistic. I help them understand better ways to manage training, structure, and consistency in a way that works for them.

Now I want to give back to the children in our community and help ensure they have access to the support and guidance I never had, so they can build better futures.

My goal is to raise 5k in 4 weeks.

Thank you for the support and love. Let’s do this.

Well done for raising funds and awareness for such an important cause. As a neurodivergent person who has the privilege to work with young students, the power in getting to know ourselves and how our brains and bodies work is just so important. And the more we educate those around us the more inclusive we can be. On ya Mat! Lift well x
