What Attendees Are Saying

Very useful. Especially early interventions and also background contexts as to why female diagnosis is more challenging.

I found it so interesting and it will absolutely help inform my practice. I found Wale to be a very good facilitator too, he was clear and had a great pace to his delivery-Thank you! Emma C.

The knowledge of this gentleman was superb. His approach to understanding Autism brings a breath of fresh air to the narrow view currently held in society. The connection between the brain research and physical affects within the brain that cause autism are so reassuring as a parent of children with Autism – it reminds me that their behaviour is normal for them. The information about mirroring in in the Mirror Neurone System could be a complete game-changer for how we educate children. Michelle W. Teacher and Mother of two ASD children

Just fabulous. This should be taught to every teacher and SEN department within councils throughout the country so that there can be a better understanding. Kelsey C, Mother of autistic child, Counsellor & Hypnotherapist

I have just watched this event and wanted to say how I found it very informative, my son (15) was diagnosed with autism and adhd 3 years ago and I am struggling with his behaviour towards me and getting him to fit into a neurotypical school and world, I so want to understand and support him so am grateful for these sessions. Andrea C.

Great presentation by Wale, as always, I like his presentation style and the handout was really informative and handy to have so I could focus on the presentation and jot additional notes on the handout rather than taking endless notes. Lisa F., Trauma Therapist,

It was very interesting and it helped me move forward in understanding why, as a woman, my condition was not picked up much earlier. Paula S

I did the online version of the course so was able to fit it around a busy schedule. Great explanation of neuroscience behind ASD so I now have a better understanding of ASD brain. Anon

Great to be introduced to evidence drawn from more recent research to expand knowledge. This helps to deepen my understanding of Autism/ASD from a new perspective e.g. awareness of a genetic pre-disposition & XX Chromosome links to ‘masking’ ability in females etc. Mary Anne S.

Great explanation about how the brain is different and how we need to adjust to the client not the client change to fit with us. Julie C. Therapy Manager, Addiction & Private Practice

Thank you for such an enthralling evening. I have been studying and working with individuals with autism for the last fifteen years and it was a pleasure to listen to a complex condition delivered in a manageable and informative way. Mrs M J Bailey

I am a mum of 6 children 3 of which are autistic, your course has helped me a lot tonight, what instantly jumped out at me was the information of different pregnancy, my 3 autistic children each had growth issues during my pregnancies. The information on mirroring jumped out also, we have recently started copying and joining in with our 3 year old who is autistic and non verbal, we jump up and down with him when he is excited, we join in lining cars up, and when he feels things like grass and bark on trees since doing so we have noticed he has began to copy our behaviours. Lindsey R

Good overall and very informative. Helped me understand what is going on behind the behaviour of autism.

Thank you for the course - it was a brilliant tool as always. Nicola-Jane F

Wale, as always, provides clear insights and is able to provide appropriate answers on the spot. Dianne H., School Counsellor

It is a very useful course for parents or people with ASD, or any one working with people who have ASD as this explains why people with ASD show certain traits/behaviours and that this is nothing they choose to do, but something they are “designed” to do because of their brain structure. This will hopefully give assurance for but also provide more understanding towards people with ASD. Anja M. Counsellor and parent of ASD child.

It was very in depth in the brain science so felt it was like a biology/science lesson which I liked. I maybe found it hard to focus on some parts (possibly the time?!) as I felt there was a lot of new vocabulary to grasps in the learning, parts of brain, different chemicals etc but it opens up the gateway for further learning so its not a bad thing!
