The family of a young Kent man who has a rare genetic disorder have been telling kmfm how getting a job has helped him feel like everyone else.

Tom Perry from Marden suffered his first seizure when he was just 5 months old - he was eventually diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome.

It's a form of epilepsy which causes autism and learning difficulties.

The 25 year-old's mum Susan says it can make him very poorly.

He's now been given the chance to work out Jump In Trampoline park in Tonbridge running their SEN sessions.
