Not for me 
I was talking to a young man in a pub. (Late teens/early twenties maybe?)
(Not what it seems ) - (long story)
His family were with him. Local, friendly place. All welcome and I'm related to a regular patron so even more welcomed despite new face.
This young man could work a rolling ball around the pool table in a way that caught my eye. As the evening progressed I noticed ticks, eloquent speech sometimes loud, restlessness, forced (?) or unrelaxed (?) laughter after something he'd stated. His comments were addressed to the room rather than any singular person (eye contact?)
When I was lining up a particular pool shot he blurted out "gently" and then awkwardly looked at the floor. I thanked him anyway.
I liked him immediately
He stated as part of a 'conversation' he has ADHD (I wondered if there was more to it than that)
I liked him even more after spotting an orange, latex wristband with white printed words, one of which was "Autism"
I tend to ask lots of questions, and with the input from his mum, there's a possibility this young man could be representing Great Britain in the 2019 Olympics. Something to do with football. His "thing" is a moving ball.
He wasn't so enthusiastic when talking about having to raise the two and a half grand to get himself over to Dubai for the games.
Obviously anything could happen between now and 2019 and he may not be selected as part of the final team. He will find out next year (2018)
So now to my question/s (you'll be pleased to read)
I'm thinking that a business could sponsor someone like this and use it for tax purposes. Am I correct?
Are charities concerned with a specific condition, for example Autism, known for sponsoring ambassadors? Representing the country and the condition?
Do any of you good folk have any previous experience or knowledge with this sort of thing?
I can write a very persuasive letter/email if I have some background on etiquette and tax write offs, in these situations.
