Me! No, kidding. I do speak at sessions and conferences...though I don't have the funds to go to Denmark. :(

As for my favourite speaker, that would be Temple Grandin, hands down. I had the honor of speaking on a panel with her...she was so riveting and engaging to watch.

Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.

This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

I think that Alex Plank does a really good job with the work that he does and he's one of us as well. :)

Thank you for suggesting me. I could go to Denmark, but I'd have to have my expenses paid! I have done presentations on a variety of topics. I also have, a couple of times, had people ask me to speak on a topic, and I did research and did a presentation on the topic of their choice. It was fun and I learned a lot. I need to post 5 times before I can direct you to anything I have written, it looks like, so more later. - Paula

I'm planning out a 2013 conference already, and am thinking of someone like Temple Grandin (my preference) or someone like Dr. Steven Shore. I will consider other names as well for 2013 and beyond.
