Harvey Price is the eldest son of Katie Price. Harvey is partially blind and has Autism. He also has Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder that occurs in approximately one out of every 15,000 births.

Harvey has been playing the keyboard since the age of four and was inspired to audition after watching Autism’s Got Talent earlier this year at The Mermaid Theatre in London where he performed and at the roadshows in Cornwall and Ruislip.

Harvey has made numerous telly appearances, before becoming the subject of vile social media posts that he and his mum are now trying to make a criminal offence.

Harvey deals with online bullying and trolling. He was subject to horrendous online abuse after sharing a drawing of his mum on the Gatwick Express on his Instagram page. Fans commented pleaded with Katie to remove the account to protect Harvey, but she chose not to and instead deleted the harmful comments.

On 22 January 2019, it was revealed that Parliament would back Katie’s ‘Harvey’s Law’ efforts. She started an online petition in March 2017 to criminalise social media trolling, after Harvey suffered at the hands of Instagram trolls.

Harvey has fully supported our “Give Us A Break” campaign and held up a poster as he said: ‘Please don’t be horrible to Harvey.’ and we are proud to announce Harvey Price as our Ambassador and welcome him to the Anna Kennedy Online family.

My name is Daniel Docherty and I have an Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am 19 years old and I live in the southeast of Ireland. I am the Ireland Ambassador for Anna Kennedy Online, an incredible Organisation that strives to improve the lives of those living with Autism.

My dream is to become a famous singer and Autism Awareness advocate. I study psychology in Waterford Institute of Technology and have completed my first year, passing all of my exams. I have a keen interest in story writing and poetry too. I was diagnosed with autism in March, 2014 at the age of fourteen and It was a moment of relief for me as I always knew deep down I was quite an eccentric individual compared to other people.

One of my special interests is music, in particular singing. I love singing as it has always been a way for me to deal with my anxiety and stress. It is also one of the ways in which I express myself and my favourite genres to do this are Opera, Classical, Musical Theatre and Swing. I hope to also one day make a real change in the world for the better and promote a society of acceptance and support.

Daniel said: “Becoming an Ambassador for Anna Kennedy Online in Ireland means the world to me. I was really surprised when I was asked to join the AKO team and jumped at the chance to be a part of this incredible organization.

Having Autism has meant my journey to where I am now has been no easy ride, but it has taught me a lot about myself and has allowed me to relate to others on the spectrum as we see the world in different ways than neurotypical people. Being an ambassador now enables me to interact with more people on the spectrum and together this means we can change the world.

We can transcend boundaries and unify people in order to create an accepting and supportive society for those with Neurodiversities such as Autism“

Tess shared: Kratu and I are delighted to be Ambassadors for Anna Kennedy Online and we hope to bring awareness for autism and assistance dogs. To help the autistic community understand what is involved with the training, the options of how to train as an owner trainer like myself, or charities who can help with a dog who is trained by them.

Mental Health and Autism is something personal to me and something that needs to be understood. You can be autistic and have mental health issues too. This is an area of great interest to me because of all I have experienced. Change is needed.

Anna has been an inspirational influence in our lives since we first met her online. Getting to know her, performing at Autisms got Talent, being able to be heard, radio interviews, articles written, sharing that with others meant so much. She gave us the chance to have a voice, be seen, be validated and accepted.

To be Ambassadors for her charity is very special to us indeed. It is an honour. Thank you. Tess and Kratu.

Ethan Khumalo is an autistic dancer and lyricist that performs Grime/Rap music. His aim is to inspire other people that are autistic and also have mental health issues and wants to inspire the talent within them and they can use it; and to find confidence in themselves to showcase it. Ethan has been dancing for 11 years and then started rapping.

Anna Kennedy and Ethan first crossed paths in 2016 where he performed for the first  time, at Autism’s Got Talent. Since then, more opportunities arouse. In 2017 he won a scholarship to train with Pineapple Performing Arts School.

Ethan shared: “Fast forward to now, I am now an ambassador for Anna Kennedy Online. If you asked me how it feels to be an ambassador, l would say it feels humbling to be part of the AKO family. I never expected this honour and privilege.

Thank you Anna for creating a platform for people like us, to showcase us talented individuals, to speak for the voiceless.  Anna and the team are a role model to the SEND community, whatever she speaks on, needs to be heard left, right and centre, most people can relate, we just need more to hear us out, which is why we’re raising awareness, people are getting the message which is a good thing. What I hope to bring to the AKO charity, is to raise further awareness and acceptance in the community and promote the charity as well. I will be doing more rapping and dancing and articles to articulate my thoughts on what happens in life (Black Lives Matter, mental health, autism of course, music, environmental events/incidents).

To now be a part of the AKO is unexpected , but definitely worthwhile. l am proper happy that I am an AKO ambassador, I think this is one of my BEST moments; to DATE. Anna has shown me a endless amount of love and support in what I do ever since we met. Thank you Anna for this moment, it wouldn’t have been possible without you, and also for showing me support each and every single time.”
