Read testimonials from:
Olivia, InterActing Student
“It is very nice to know a whole group that also had autism…When you have autism you are always in the minority, but to have such a big group that all have autism…it is then so nice to improvise together. You don’t have to explain anything because you know each other right away.”
“Before InterActing, I got completely stuck, when a situation from the script dodged in my head – but now it’s easier to kind of spontaneously add something.”
Jurre, InterActing Student
“I think it was important to me…before I was at InterActing I didn’t really look at people, at InterActing you have a few important rules: eye content, “Yes and” [zeggen] and listening. I learned that at InterActing.”
“I used to clam up when talking to strangers. But now I chatter through them all the time…!”

Mother of participant Yasminah
“Mommy, do you like that I have talent too? To which I say: Well and truly! Then what are you good at?” and then she says: I think it’s funny that I think I can’t do that much, but then I’m working together and listening and I just do it and then I think, I can actually do quite a lot.

Mother participant Yarden
“Let me share tons of admiration and admiration to the entire InterActing Team for the brilliant work you do and the massive boost of confidence your program gives Yarden. Our entire wider family is a huge fan of InterActing”.
Matthew Lerner
Associate Professor AJ Drexel Autism Insitute, Philadelphia, USA
“Young people with autism get stuck because they expect everything to go as agreed. In the real world, however, no script is followed. At InterActing, they practice their flexibility. We see over the years that that produces consistent clinical results.”
Henry van Loon
Comedian/Acteur & InterActing Ambassador
“People with autism are super honest. That’s a superpower rather than a limitation”.
