Laurie Morgen, a mother of three, two sons with autism, she is a freelance trainer and national speaker.
Her presentations have looked at her journey growing up from school age into adulthood and getting a late diagnosis.
Her workshops get you thinking, very thought provoking, but gives you an insight to how a young girl within a
