In this book, I aim to provide perspective that helps reconnect us with the very social structure that gave us life. Not in a stoned out hippie kind of way, but literally get back to how we evolved to function together as humans.

Autism, anxiety, and alexithymia are embarrassingly misunderstood in today’s society and leaves those with the disorders alienated, lonely, and often with very little resources to help what they are going through.
