About the course: I did a course in Autim Awareness Course and looking forward for a course in ADHD. The customer support received was simply great and so were the modules. I enjoyed my time and it feels good as I always wanted to do a course in Child Philosophy, Autism, and ADHD. Thanks for everything!
