What attendees are saying about our workshops
It will help me to understand the
individuals that I work with that
have autism.Thank you for a wonderful
workshop. It was very interesting.
Your analogies are
really helpful!
Thank you, Benino. All
of these are good
reminders for me as
Andrew's mom to help
him process the world
around him. He has
learned a lot of coping
skills.
Andrew (my son) says he now feels like he can celebrate his autism traits. It reminded me to respect Andrew's traits.
I was fortunate to attend Benino's workshop. His presentation is interactive and gets the audience involved. He personalizes by touching on tactics he has learned for coping with his autism, part of how to live authentically even though he has a disability that few understand. He offers perspectives and awareness on the traits of autism. He introduces famous and important citizens of the world who had autism.
Attendance at Benino’s workshop provides a fresh viewpoint of living with autism by an individual with autism that everyone should learn about.
