David Finch: Keynote Speaker on Autism, Neurodiversity, and Relationships

Meet Your Keynote Presenter.

Married in 2003 and diagnosed five years later with Asperger syndrome, I have committed myself to relentless self-improvement — sometimes to a comical extent. As the best-selling author of The Journal of Best Practices: a Memoir of Marriage, Asperger Syndrome, and One Man’s Quest to Be a Better Husband, and as a 25-year veteran of the global electronics industry, I’ve headlined autism, neurodiversity, relationships, and tech events at major universities, global corporations and non-profits, and international conferences.

University events have included The University of Miami, Northwestern University, University of Missouri, University of Wisconsin, University of Iowa, Iowa State University, Adelphi University, Eureka College, Ramapo College, Florida Atlantic University, The College of New Jersey, and others.

Conference keynotes and presentations include The Autism Society of America, The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), Love and Autism, and many more.

My corporate events have ranged from intimate non-profit fundraising events and exclusive meet & greets to decidedly for-profit global events, including a collaboration with Rolling Stone magazine for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

In 2018 I was invited by Netflix and Sony Pictures Television to co-host an autism and neurodiversity panel discussion at a red carpet event celebrating the hit series ATYPICAL.

I have been blessed to shared the stage with Dr. Temple Grandin, John Elder Robison, Dr. Barry Prizant, Dr. Stephen Shore, Alex Plank, and many others. And I’d love to take the stage at your next event!

Your audience is my top priority. I deliver customized keynotes that are time-scalable and deeply felt, driven by lived experience, humor, and sincerity.
