David is an autistic adult living in the UK. He is Chief Operating Officer at NeuroClastic, he is in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, and has experienced several complex mental health conditions. His special interests are autism, addiction, mental health, and sexuality and all the places where those things intersect. He is also the author of Emergent Divergence on Wordpress and Facebook.
Autistic people are often overlooked when it comes to addiction, as if they are too rule-oriented or childlike to become addicted. It’s time for that to change.
