For years, support groups in the United States, Canada and Australia have used Dan Coulter’s articles to improve life for people with Asperger Syndrome and their families. This book collects Dan’s first 70 articles. Spurred by his son's diagnosis with Asperger Syndrome, Dan used his skills as a successful television writer/producer/director and public relations executive to become a leading Asperger advocate. His articles include insights from his own family life, from the varied people he’s interviewed to produce DVDs about Asperger Syndrome, and from input from Asperger and autism experts who consult on his videos. In 2009, Dan was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, which helped explain his inside perspective on ways to overcome Asperger obstacles and succeed. This book includes the best practices Dan has gathered for people with Asperger Syndrome and for their parents, teachers, counselors and other supporters. With warmth and humor, Dan focuses on positive, practical steps that have worked for a wide range of individuals and families.
