Über Autor(innen)

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.

Dr. Tony Attwood is a practicing clinical psychologist with more than twenty-five years of experience. He has worked with over 2000 individuals of all ages with Asperger's syndrome. He presents workshops and runs training courses for parents, professionals, and individuals with AS all over the world, and is a prolific author of articles and books on the subject.
