Training, Presentations and Workshops on Autism, Asperger topics

In the past, ASK has offered training, presentations, workshops and ‘question and answer’ sessions on a wide range of autism-related topics for professionals, caregivers and other groups.  After the re-organisation of ASK in March 2022, the possibility may exist that such sessions may be offered again

Feedback from attendees of ASK panel presentations

“I thought the very personal and honest style of presentation was extremely effective.”

“I just want to thank you for the amazing work, there is so much good stuff in here which I will use at home with my son, and at work.”

“The most important thing I learnt from ASK training session was: “understanding from inside perspective”;  “the need to think out of the box, be open to the [AS] individual’s way of thinking, give them time to process”; “patience, more understanding and knowledge”.
