The first feeling that you have when you arrive to Denmark is this feeling of well-being and comfort. Indeed, Denmark and the other Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, and Iceland) have a high level of happiness and well-being. They are known for their society with particular values: public-spiritedness, political life, lifestyles, system of social benefits, exceptional educational system, assistances to people with special needs, … They move on a bicycle, sort out their waste (up to nine different trash cans) and make "ecological" efforts thanks to ecological constructions, the use of renewable energies or the recycling of waste. Why did I go to Denmark within the framework of my work on autism? - First of all, Princess Marie of Denmark is...

My friend Diego and myself were on a mission to test New York. I had to visit schools and Diego, the CEO of 2gether, had a birthday dinner and meetings to attend. Diego is a happy owner of a wheelchair, so we rolled to New York.. It was exhausting.

I have the gift to explain, the empathy to bring you at your best level, the madness to introduce you in a world where the impossible becomes possible, the humor to make you take the drama out of your life, … This gift has been sharpened with the circumstances of  life.

My mother treated him as her son because he grew up with my brother of the same age and was guarded by my mother during ...

In  Washington DC, I met people committed in the field of education and special education.  Some of them are well-known working for the United States department of education. Others are working for United Nations and federal agencies. I wondered why these people were so committed. This is because some of them have a child with a handicap and others have special needs.
