Having given over 1,000 presentations in 51 countries across 6 continents and in 48 of the United States, reaching out both nationally and internationally is an important part of my mission to make fulfilling and productive lives the rule rather than the exception for people on the autism spectrum. And… I’ll be happy to present for your organization as well. Topics can be mixed and matched to suit the needs of the participants.
