Triumph Over Autism

A fascinating and uplifting interview with David Patten, author of Dummy: A Memoir. David was born with severe cognitive challenges a time when dyslexia and autism were little understood. He is functionally illiterate, yet with the aid of technology he has written the account of his odyssey from a troubled youth, including a suicide attempt and dealing drugs in the underbelly of Chicago, to a successful life as high tech entrepreneur with a warm and happy family.
