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.

I'm not officially diagnosed even though I suspect I'm on the spectrum, so take everything I say with the grain of salt. Anyhow, I strongly related to the deviant motivation of doing things & having interests. All my life, ever since I was a kid, it frustrated, confused and irritated me that whenever I was good on something, people fixated on _me_ as the agent, instead of the object of interest I was good on. No-one wants to talk about the methods of the drawing, how to "see" the animal underneath the fur to draw it anatomically correctly, or what I think there's still to improve. They aggressively brush that aside and keep on repeating how talented I am and keep asking how I'm able to draw so well and how they wish they could draw as well. If they had the motivation to talk about drawing even for five minutes, instead of focusing on the admiration & social compliments, they could in fact improve their skills. But they rather close their ears and keep it as a mystery to themselves. I find that very frustrating and pointless interaction that doesn't satisfy my needs of socializing. In general, I don't like being the focus of any discussion, I prefer focus being on the things I'm interested in, and I don't understand how everyone isn't like that.
