Life on the Spectrum

David Finch is the author of the New York Times best-selling memoir The Journal of Best Practices. Married in 2003 and diagnosed five years later with Asperger syndrome, he has committed himself to relentless self-improvement, sometimes to a comical extent. A former semiconductor engineer turned full-time writer and speaker, David Finch has written for The New York Times, Huffington Post and Slate. He also writes a relationship blog for Psychology Today. He will discuss living with an autism-spectrum condition and his persistent and focused efforts to improve as an individual, husband and father. His experience is a lesson in adaptability and self-motivation for how to succeed in relationships, career, marriage, or any aspect of life.
