Dr. Jeffrey Deutsch
Dr. Jeffrey Deutsch is an Aspie (one with Asperger Syndrome), who has drawn on his decades of Home-based Experiential Lifelong Learning (HELL) to help fellow Aspies better relate to neurotypicals (NTs) and vice versa. Now happily married to Emily Deutsch, an NT who first told him about Asperger Syndrome (AS), and also the father of two delightful girls, he has given life skills classes, inspirational talks, group training for Aspies’ families and partner support groups, employers, service providers, first responders and others, as well as individual life coaching for both Aspies and NTs. He has helped Aspies get along better with NTs and NTs better recognize and deal with Aspies on the job, through social situations, in personal relationships and other aspects of daily life.
After graduating from high school, and then Cornell University, and less than three years later, Dr. Deutsch subsequently earned his M.A. and Ph.D. from George Mason University. Years later, at the age of 38, he was diagnosed with AS by both a counselor and a psychiatrist. He published his book Turning On the Broadband- An Aspies’ Atlas to the Neurotypical World and also wrote a regular column for Autism After 16.
