"I am autistic. I was lucky growing up: I discovered meditation and hypnosis, both of these taught me how to engage with others and how to manage the overwhelming amount of information coming into my senses. My aim is to share my experiences with others and help others find their path in life, and spread awareness about what it is like to have Asperger's syndrome and what others can do to help those with Asperger's. It is a condition that is often invisible which in my case prior to diagnosis led to judgements and discrimination."
Learn more about my personal & professional experiences of autism in my book 'Look Into My Eyes: Asperger's, Hypnosis, and Me'
which has reached number one in 'Autism Spectrum Disorders', 'Psychology Biographies', 'Living With Disabilities Biographies', and 'Developmental Psychology'
The second edition of 'Look Into My Eyes' contains a chapter by my wife about her experiences living with someone with Asperger's, I have also written a book 'Asperger's Syndrome: Tips & Strategies' covering tips for parents/carers, teachers, friends, employers, and those with autism, and 'An Autistic Perspective: Death, Dying & Loss' which shares what the experiences of death, dying and loss is like for someone with autism, differences compared to how others experience these areas, and what you can do to help those on the spectrum cope with these areas and what you can learn from the way autistic people experience death, dying and loss.
