"Paul was one of the most inspirational speakers I have heard and all the parents felt the same."

"I really feel that all my staff need to hear him talk. He has such an incredible insight into his own challenges and to be able to vocalise this is so helpful for us as teachers. I would really like Paul to speak to our staff so that they also have the opportunity to learn about the challenges many of our pupils are probably having and are not able to vocalise."

"Do not fear people with Autism, embrace them, Do not spite people with Autism unite them, Do not deny people with Autism accept them for then their abilities will shine"
