Jimmy Clare is a motivational speaker, Autism Advocate, author, and founder of CrazyFitnessGuy. Before he started his career as a motivational speaker life was a bumpy road.
Doctors told Jimmy’s parents that he would not be able to walk without braces or crutches but his family didn’t take their word for it. They took him home, loved him as he was, and taught him to persevere.
What Makes Him Different From Other Public Speakers?
He was diagnosed with Non-Verbal Learning Disorder also known as Autism and this is what he considers to be his unique advantage.
There was a point in his life when he thought being different was a bad thing and he was scared that something was wrong with him.
He was bullied from elementary school to high school. Weight gain due to medication led to more bullying. As a result, he was determined to come off his meds and he did over time. Jimmy was bullied so often, it became so bad that he would go home in tears every day. It was a horrible experience and he vowed to change what he was going through.
Therefore, he lost the weight and learned to stand up to his bullies. That turned his life around. Now he stands up to bullies for those who haven’t learned to do so yet. Some of the ways he does this is through his fitness coaching and speaking engagements.
