Follow on Google News | Author and Neurodiversity Advocate Hackie Reitman, M.D. Speaks in Louisville, KentuckyBy: Different Brains Dr. Harold "Hackie" Reitman, founder of neurodiversity community site DifferentBrains.com and author of the Amazon best-seller Aspertools: The Practical Guide for Understanding and Embracing Asperger's, Autism Spectrum Disorders and Neurodiversity ( http://aspertools.com ), is a retired orthopaedic surgeon and former professional heavyweight boxer, who became immersed in neurodiversity when his own daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome after graduating college.

He is also the writer and producer of the feature film "The Square Root of 2" starring Darby Stanchfield of ABC "Scandal." ( http://thesquarerootof2movie.com ) He also recently released a neurodiversity documentary that uses clips from his film and interviews with experts to illustrate ideas and tools from Aspertools™.
