Dr. Richard Williams is a molecular biologist by training. He and his wife Sally began their prolific research into autism in order to better understand and advocate for their daughter who is on the spectrum. Dr. Williams brings years of in-depth and comprehensive study of the genetic components of autism. He believes that every autistic individual has gifts and those gifts simply need to be recognized so that the individual can thrive. His positive view of autism guides families and loved ones to find the good in a potentially troubling diagnosis.
Dr. Williams says, “Every individual has gifts that need to be discovered, fostered and nurtured. The gifts may not be initially obvious but they are always present.” Finding the gifts of an autistic individual can provide hope, happiness and a brighter future.
