Happiness & Autism - different to neurotypicals?

Dr. Peter Vermeulen believes that bringing in happiness, humor and working in collaboration is the way forward in autism and the neurodiversity movement.

Dr. Peter, who started in this field by accident, is now a world-renowned specialist who has presented in various countries and is the founder of "Autism in Context". His understanding and way of interacting with autistic individuals have evolved with the years and he has adapted his approaches and accordingly. Most recently launching a "Happiness Coaching" Program.

It was an absolute delight to interview Dr. Peter and I believe parents will find the way in which he explains ways to connect with their children extremely insightful and practical.
