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.
