Anthony's Story: An Autistic Mother & Her Autistic Son

By Brian Hubenig and Leonora Gregory-Collura

This book is the first in a series of books setting the stage for the ANCA(r) story, the history, philosophy and approach behind Naturally Autistic(r) ANCA(r) (ANCA(r) Consulting Inc. and ANCA(r) Foundation). It is more about the substance of commitment to life, humanity, diversity and the possibility for the potential of opportunities to be created for all people - autistic or not.The woven threads of an autistic woman's journey, as daughter, sister, mother, wife, colleague, choreographer, business woman, writer and teacher, questions her to examine the experiences that reside within her life and that of her son. As an autistic mother (a woman, a human being, who happens to be autistic), these experiences ripple outwards to community in support of herself and her son and within such, expanding toward a larger community, one greater than oneself.The recounting of an inspiring journey as a child, single mother, business woman and wife contributes and validates all of those lives connected to being a part of society, a part of humanity.The reader may gain insight into their own journey and experiences, creating bridges to their present life today. It is the desire of the author to enable individuals to positively and proactively respond to situations they may encounter or find themselves, to find intention and hope and, above all, to "aspire."
