Here Is What Some Have Said About Wendy

"Wendy's ability to convey the essence of her autistic world to others is remarkable. As an adult educator, with training in psychology and family issues, Wendy offers a valuable contribution to understanding and working with individuals with Autism Spectrum disorder. Having known, listened to and worked with Wendy, I highly recommend her as an intriguing and interesting speaker who has much to offer professionals and families, to enhance their insights into autism in a humorous and vivid way".
Professor Margot Prior. Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne.

"When Wendy spoke to us at the parent's night, for the first time I understood my little boy. I wish I had heard Wendy's words two years ago when Michael was first diagnosed with Autism ….it would have saved me so much stress and confusion."    Jane, Sydney.

"A wonderful sense of humour portrayed while increasing awareness by using personal experiences."
Parent, High Wycombe Support Group.

" Hearing Wendy changed my life….." Sarah, Bradford Support Group.

"Fascinating! As a reacher I have found the talk very inspiring and will certainly be more aware of the pupils I teach and what they may be thinking and feeling. I will be much more conscious of the language I use when speaking to them. Thank you." Teacher, Bucks UK.

"Now I have some hope for the future…" John, Dagenham Support Group.

"If you have not heard Wendy speak then do not miss any opportunity to hear her. Our members in Gloucestershire cannot get enough of her and we just keep inviting her back!" Sarah, Stroud Autistic Support Group UK.
