When married women talk about the things that irritate them about their husbands, the list normally includes: lack of empathy, inability to read body language, especially theirs, and a preoccupation with one or few interests i.e. football. Coincidentally, these same irritations are also symptoms of Asperger’s Syndrome.
New York Times bestselling author David Finch and his wife Kristen came across this coincidence and ultimately found that David wasn’t just a bad husband; he suffered from Asperger’s. This revelation ended up changing the Finch’s marriage and sparking the idea for David’s bestselling book, The Journal of Best Practices: A Memoir of Marriage, Asperger Syndrome and One Man’s Quest to Be a Better Husband.
On March 6th , David will be at Mizzou to share his story and elaborate on the experiences in his book.
The presentation is a part of the MU Thompson Center Exceptional Achievement Lecture Series.
Where: Fisher Auditorium, Gannett Hall
When: Tuesday, March 6th 5:30 p.m.
