About this title

From the Author:

“There’s a reason I watch videos with the captions turned on: catching the nuance of tone, the challenge of perspective, the speed of banter, and the import of content all at once is like isolating notes in a score the very first time the music plays. Which is why this book is so ingenious. Craig Evans has repackaged the fleeting flurry of video, transcribing and regifting Dr. Attwood’s insight and heart so that audiences can engineer their own learning pace and style. Plainly written and alive with conversation, it’s a great resource for empowering engagement, spurring independent thinking, and supporting active incorporation.” (Jennifer Cook O’Toole)|“This collection of interviews between Dr. Tony Attwood, who steadfastly remains the most revered expert in Asperger’s syndrome, and the insightful and positive author Craig Evans is wonderful! It’s an easy read that delivers difficult concepts eloquently and respectfully.” (Liane Holliday Willey, EdD)|“Who in the autism community has ever wished for a direct line to Dr. Tony Attwood? Or has spent time wondering what Dr. Attwood would think about the problems and situations that frustrate our lives as people with autism? This book is full of thoughtfully crafted questions originally asked by the autism community and answered through discussion between Dr. Attwood and C. Evans with care and concern. It is a gift.” (Lisa Morgan)|“Absolutely smashing! Dr. Tony Attwood’s advice is world-class. He completely understands the ASD mind and covers a wide range of much-needed advice for everyday life. As one of the Aspie mentors in Been There. Done That. Try This!, I highly recommend this book to those on the autism spectrum as well as parents and all involved with autism. Tony and Craig have knocked it out of the park!” (Anita Lesko, BSN, RN, MS, CRNA)

About the Author:

A former communications executive, Craig Evans is a filmmaker fascinated with traditional music, the banjo, and the community of players that celebrate this art form. His documentary series have been saved for posterity by Smithsonian Folkways. Craig continues to be fascinated by people who think differently, especially his stepdaughter with Asperger’s. Buoyed by her daily gains toward independence and Dr. Attwood's boundless optimism, Craig films, writes, and shares encouraging news about autism as often as possible.
