GBGreat training! Captain Turning made this information accessible and understandable and drove home the point that it is absolutely critical. Great examples and videos of real-life situations. All first responders need this information, especially because it is not just lumped in with training on mental health issues and drug use. Autism is common and unique and deserves its own category. This is what Captain Turning has done. Bravo!

GBChanged way of thinking As a Flight medic/ ground medic, I have had several autistic patients over the years and I never had a true understanding of what a person with autism really went through. This class was very informative and changed my view on how to handle situations with them. I had flown out a 2 year old autistic girl that drowned in a pond, her dad found her in less than 5 minutes, she was unresponsive and lifeless, he had just taken his first CPR class a couple months prior and was able to resuscitate her. She is thriving without any long term deficits from the incident. Had he not been trained, the situation would have gone very differently. He turned his back for less than 5 minutes to wash some dishes, and she broke through the screen in the window and went straight for the pond on their property. It is a call I will always remember and an example I use when I teach my CPR classes to the public on its importance.
