His messages range from the transformative power of love, understanding, guidance, and adaptability in any relationship, to living a fulfilling life with an autism spectrum condition, to thriving in what he describes as a "neurologically-mixed marriage." While sharing hilarious and moving anecdotes from his life, David provides his audiences with invaluable, fresh insights into their own.
