“ Learning about autism from Caroline has really helped me understand many people I have met throughout my life who previously puzzeled me.”
Helen Rowe. Reflexologist. Reading Nov 2013
"Caroline’s training really brought the true issue of adult autism to light. She delivered the training from not only a position of clinical knowledge but of personal knowledge. This perspective is unique and added a dimension to the training that I have not found in many other training sessions I have attended. A must for any clinical professional working with people or for anyone who is in a helping profession. Delivered in a clear, simple yet effective way, I left feeling the training with added skills and different perspective. It really did make the case, Autism Matters! Naomi Mwasambili.
