Max posted on his social media saying the following
"This Season of The Autism Connections I would Like to Dedicate to Dame Cheryl Gillan who supported and helped so many Autistic People."
"I am so shocked to hear this, she was an amazing person who helped so many people. I Will Miss Her Dearly
Cheryl Gillan was an amazing person and was a champion to all Autistic People, your devotion and work bringing Awareness towards Autism will never be forgotten.
When I came up to parliament to speak my face would light up because I knew I would be listened to and Heard."
