David Finch
Five years into his marriage, David Finch, author of the memoir Journal of Best Practices (Scribner, $25.00) and his wife learn that he has Asperger Syndrome. The diagnosis explains David’s ever-growing list of quirks and compulsions, but it doesn’t make him easier to live with. Determined to change, David sets out to understand Asperger Syndrome and learn to be a better husband. “His often-hilarious efforts to understand and cope with his condition will resonate with every guy whose wife has ever asked him, “What the hell were you THINKING?”— Dave Barry. A former semiconductor engineer, Finch writes a relationship blog for Psychology Today and lectures around the country about living life with autism.
