Trainings and talks and consultations for employers and employees.
We all aspire to the win/win situation when employees are happy and give of their best and there is good communication between managers and the staff they manage.
Some people, including some very talented people, can be very difficult to work with. Some such people are autistic. Autism is a common, invisible condition that affects more than 1% of the population, yet most autistic adults are undiagnosed.
Autism can confer considerable strengths; creative thinking, systemic overview, attention to detail and reliability. However there are some challenges associated with the condition that can prevent autistic people giving of their best. Understanding autism enables employers to communicate better with their employees and provide an environment that facilitates excellent work.

My understanding of Autism was greatly deepened by Caroline’s workshop. It is invaluable information and understanding for my work, and for my life, since Autism is quite a common condition and is grossly misunderstood and stigmatised in society. I believe that Caroline's trainings, if carried out on a larger scale, could help to de-stigmatise Autism and increase productivity and working relations in so many groups and organisations in which people on the Autistic Spectrum participate.
