Seen Olga a number of times and read many of her books about autism/communication/sensory issues.

 

I first saw her whilst we were going through the process of having my son diagnosed. At that stage I did not see the "autism" in my son's behaviour, but I definately saw the sensory and processing issues she was talking about.

Her talks and books are awesome.
