I struggled with undiagnosed autism for nearly 25 years. My diagnosis has enabled me to embrace my individuality and move forward.

I now write (Autism Speaks, Wrong Planet) and speak publicly about my life with autism, hoping to inspire greater understanding and acceptance. I'm currently writing a book for Autism Asperger Publishing Company. New York Times bestselling author John Elder Robison (Look Me In The Eye, Be Different: Adventures of a Free Range Aspergian) will be writing the introduction.

    I have a son that is 11 and has Aspergers. Watching you made me both laugh and cry. He is the greatest gift I could have ever asked for. I worry about him often and watching you has comforted me. You are like a grown up version of him.

    Again, Thanks

  • You're awesome dude!  You had me laughing.

  • Absolutely fantastic way to talk about the subject of aspergers. I have recently begun supporting a young man with autism in the UK and I am so keen to appreciate and begin to understand this young mans needs. I believe people such as yourself and the man I support bring and great deal of fun and interest into this world. Thankyou so much for the video. Kind regards, Daniel.
