Peter Eichler is the founder of Adam 2 Adam, a South Orange, N.J.-based non-profit organization that provides mentoring and support to teens and young adults with Asperger's Syndrome. Eichler was diagnosed with the autism spectrum disorder at age 40; his late father and one of his sons were also found to have the condition.

The organization's mission is to generate awareness of Asperger's Syndrome, and to promote creativity, relaxation, music, and humor as therapy for the mildly autistic - ultimately empowering individuals with Asperger's Syndrome to forge strong social bonds. Eichler leads outreach and mentoring programs in partnership with JESPY House. He is also available for public speaking engagements at schools and community organizations.
