Learning disability has been invisible for too long. It’s time to see people with a learning disability for all they are and all they can be.

Join the Here I Am campaign, spread the word and help change the future.

Here I Am: Understand me

My name’s Casey. Or DJ Casey Dude. I love music and I love technology. I have Down’s Syndrome, and autism. But those are not the most important things about me - the most important things are music, fashion and being a DJ. I DJ my own set every Sunday night at my local pub, The Swan.

I do it on my own and I run the show. I think it’s fabulous when people get up and dance.

I am never, never nervous. I have played in front of big crowds - like at the town hall. That was very good, excellent.
