The mission of the Golden Hat Foundation is the establishment of innovative campuses that offer people with autism the opportunity to learn to communicate, receive an education, job training and enjoy recreational activities, all within a supportive social network. When given a suitable education and the means to communicate effectively, people with autism can truly realize their dreams.

The book is called The Golden Hat: Talking Back To Autism and Daniel is also featured in it.

Description: Imagine what it would be like not to be able to communicate with those we love. For many individuals living with nonverbal autism and their families, this is their everyday reality. The Golden Hat is an intimate response to this reality created by Kate Winslet, Margret Ericsdottir, and her son Keli, who has nonverbal autism.

Kate and Margret's stories, their personal email correspondence, and Keli's poetry give us a profound insight into the world of those living with autism. Kate has shared this story with some of the world's most famous people, posing the question: "What is important to you to express?" Their responses are a collection of intimate self-portraits and unique quotes. All the author proceeds from this groundbreaking book will benefit the Golden Hat Foundation.

Evanna Lynch, David yates, Bonnie Wright, Jamie Campbell Bower, Gary Oldman, and Helena Bonham Carter & Matthew Lewis did attend the event. Daniel couldn't be there because of filming Kill Your Darlings, but see his video message below. Here's another part of what he said:

"I'd like to thank the Empire readers for voting for us. I've always been quite a harsh judge of the series, but I was over the moon with this final film; I think we went out on a high note."

Today (26th March 2012) I received Dan's latest fan mail picture which he sends out to everyone who contacts him via his fan mail address. You can see this great photo by Warwick Saint (2011) below. And that when I expected he still would be sending out this one (not a picture by me) which also is an amazing picture..

Canada's National gay magazine Outlooks features an interview with Daniel (April 2012 issue). You can read the issue online at issuu.com. The magazine also features a photo from The Trevor Project's PSA shoot, I have shared it on Facebook (3rd May 2018).

Travis Blue had a photoshoot with Daniel and the rest of the cast of Kill Your Darlings.

Edit 2013: You can view a photo of Dan during this photoshoot on his website.
