AUTISM

I am a father of 5 wonderful children. 2 of which have special needs.Lauren has Learning disabilities,Arek has Autism. My wife and I run a website for the improvement of Autism Awareness and Better education for Autistic children and adults.

I am a mom of four & a wife of 1. In my younger years, I did a lot of freelance modeling until I started college. In college, my major was Criminal Justice until I decided I wanted to be a criminal profiler for the FBI so I changed my major to Forensic Psychology.

Because of the chaos & emotional turmoil of his diagnosis I was unable to re-register after I finished my last semester and thus began my fight against Autism. I started writing all my feelings down in a journal to document our experiences with the autism and that is how "My name is Ryan & I have Autism" was born. I decided to publish my book to help other parents experiencing autism for the
