Let’s make your event amazing

I’d love to help your next event be one that your audience will always remember. I’ve spoken professionally for over a decade, and I’m always looking for new opportunities to impact an audience.

On this page, you’ll find detailed information to help you discover if I might be the right fit for your event. You’ll find the topics I cover, as well as a detailed history of my experience and credentials.

Of course, you’re also welcome to reach out directly at any time – I’d be glad to chat about your event and see how I might help impact your audience.

Fortunately, many leaders are starting to recognize the power of neurodiversity in the workplace. Leading firms like Google, Harvard, and Accenture are spearheading efforts to build a neuroinclusive culture where everyone has the support they need to thrive.

Your organization can join them.

And I can help you get there.

Meet Dr. Dan

I’m Dr. Daniel Wendler—a proudly autistic clinical psychologist.

I combine clinical expertise with my personal lived experience to help audiences better understand neurodiversity, burnout, mental wellness, and human connection in a way that feels practical, relatable, and deeply human.

I’ve spoken for organizations including Google, Harvard, Accenture and events such as the Fortune Innovation Summit, the Great Place To Work Summit, and SHRM ENX. No matter where I speak, my goal is the same - to deliver a talk that equips your audience to make real change.

Whether you need an inspirational keynote, practical training, or something uniquely tailored to your audience… I’m here to help.

A few of my bona fides:

I specialize in making life easy for event organizers. My goal is to deliver a high-impact talk for your audience and a zero-stress experience for you. I’m committed to being the smoothest part of your entire event.

Plus, I pride myself on handcrafting a talk that makes your event amazing. Whether you need an in-depth training, an inspirational keynote, or something totally unique… you’ve come to the right guy.
