    This is a beautiful story!
    When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!
    That child is beautiful and smart beyond and explanation!
    He could hang out in my garage anytime!
    May God continue to support him!

      I know, right? When some people think of Autism, I imagine some would think "Poor kid". But I think that with the right guidance, he can channel that Autism into something positive, like his car collection and displaying his cars. 🙂

    I have been following Anthony on Facebook for months, probably near the beginning of his being on there. Even after seeing Facebook pictures everyday, this video was over the moon. I just cried watching it. I think the whole family is special. So enjoying watching this journey. ♥️😎

    I'm a photographer in wisconsin. Thanks for sharing your story. I grew up with Epilepsy that cause me to have seizures. If you asked me what I remember about my childhood I would tell you nothing except the stories I know by looking through photo albums. Today I have been seizure free for 20+ years.

    Two years later and Anthony's enthusiasm has not diminished. He was given advice from a professional on composing his pictures and it has gotten even better. He even told about his hobby/obsession at a gathering of car enthusiasts. And he's becoming known all over the world. What an amazing and inspiring young man.

    This kid is absolutely amazing. I've never seen anything so spectacular because of so many levels of achievement. I don't even know where to start. An iPhone? Are you kidding me? With a creative mind like his and the ability to see through all the technical B.S. this dude will go far. Based on what he has already achieved, there is no end to where his life will take him. His iconic accomplishments will definitely help me with some much needed motivation to be better with my own photography. This is unbelievable.

    and now a year later his pictures are leaps and bounds ahead of where he was then, his art is getting better by the day and the title of his new book coming out soon "Shifting Perspectives" is so very fitting in more ways than one as its not just changing how you see the cars its shifting your view on how you see him and those like him. well done Anthony. keep reaching for the stars.

    This is such a beautiful story when I was a job coach I had a Asperger's individual who loves NASCAR statistics and I was able to get him and his mother free tickets to go to Loudoun to see the actual cars if he was obsessed with. I asked him how did he like it he says oh it was very noisy! Which was as good a thank you you could get. 🙂

    Eric is a true artist. His tools are models, Earth and the portraiture thereof. His skills are amazing at such a young age and yet I imagine they will only get better with time. I too have built models since I was quite young, started out with space ships and battleships before I moved on to cars. Then like Eric in my shop class at school we were assigned to design n build a model house. Afterwards I brought the house home and one fall day I did just what Eric did, I parked model cars in front of the house andbtook pictures. That was 45 years ago and to this day if someone sees the pics they ask where they were taken because they believe it's a completely real house n place to them, but they can't recall where they saw the house. I tell them out in the backyard. 😁 You keep it up Eric, yours are way better than mine and you've got one really fantastic start!
