Charlie Keeble, of Romford, United Kingdom, is an activist, journalist, and author of three books that reflect both his experiences with autism and his dedication to self-advocacy. A self-described “proud friend of the Jews,” Charlie demonstrates unwavering support for Israel by using his voice and social media platforms to share, “I have made an autistic life truly thrive on Zionism.” Charlie has built his autism advocacy movement around the belief that both autism and Zionism believe in bright ideas with an unlimited imagination to offer the world. He draws inspiration in the values of Tikun Olam (a Jewish concept meaning “repair the world.”) Thank you, Charlie, for your moral courage to stand on the right side of history, your steadfast advocacy for Zionism and autism, and for your profound love of the Jewish people and the land of Israel.
