Need to add more sources to career section - see below; text in bold is information that I have not yet found sources for.

Magro began giving speeches about autism as a freshman at Seton Hall, and began travelling as an international motivational speaker in 2011. To date, he has spoken at over 1000 events worldwide. His speaking led him to authoring 23 books and contributing to countless others. Through his work he's also started a nonprofit organization called KFM Making A Difference that hosts sensory-friendly events and provides scholarships for students with autism to attend college.

While pursing sports Magro met film Director Todd Graff (Camp, Bandslam) who asked him to be a consultant on an upcoming film called Joyful Noise. Magro worked as a consultant for one of the characters in this film who had autism in Walter Hill (played by actor Dexter Darden). Following a year later Magro started a nonprofit organization KFM Making A Difference that hosts sensory-friendly events along with providing scholarships for students with autism to go to college. It was during his Masters work he started consulting part-time for Autism Speaks while also helping consult for yet another film called Jane Wants a Boyfriend. Magro was brought on to help give advice to the main character in the film (played by Louisa Krause), who was a 25-year-old woman on the autism spectrum. John Hopkins University featured his journey in a published journal titled Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics, Volume 3, Number 3, Winter 2013.

Magro today resides in Hoboken, New Jersey.

OK. What the hell is going on here?

Questions:

Is this an autobiography? If so, the author who created this article needs to make a disclosure.
Was the only other author to add significant content here a sockpuppet or meatpuppet of the creator and/or subject?
Is there real notability here, or is this purely promotional?

I have added links to find sources at the top of this page. Using those, I found enough to discourage me from immediately nominating this draft for deletion. If anybody who is not the subject, or a close associate of his, wants to try improving the draft then please feel free. I don't know whether a better written article would be accepted but it's not as obviously moribund as I assumed it would be. --DanielRigal (talk) 13:41, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
