Paul Louden

Paul presented the information very well!  I really loved the fact that he basically walked us through his life and explained how he struggled. Thank you for allowing us to look from the outside in!

It was very helpful to have an insight into Paul’s world. Thank you for being so candid.

Because of Paul, I am able to better understand my son and daughter better!!

The most helpful part was Paul’s question and answer time. He used illustrations and analogies that helped me understand what it was like for him growing up.

The most helpful part for me was Paul’s description of the way his mind feels/runs/thinks and his ability to analyze concepts like sensory issues, and the way those of us on the spectrum can be literal, what that looks like, and how it affects social interactions. Also the openness and discussion about depression and anxiety.

Please continue to do these talks, especially to educators! You are making a difference and giving a voice to many of my students who I have needed to hear from but they can’t voice it. As an elementary teacher many of my students can’t or have no way of explaining how or what they see and feel. Thanks for bringing a voice where I had none!
