“I thought your course today was very helpful. My 18yr old daughter had an assessment for autism last year. She is an intelligent, talented person. From today, I will stop seeing her autism as a condition/health issue. Rather, I should embrace it as part of her unique individuality and see it as a strength.
I will try to re-build her confidence and tell her how amazing she really is.”
