"Just as we started this course we received an official diagnosis of ASD for our daughter. We understood straight away the reasons of our daughter's challenging behaviour and decided to stop getting frustrated, stressed with the whole family. We are applying the advice in this course and life has already become a lot easier for everyone. Tension has melted away. This has been really worthwhile for our family."
