Tyler McNamer

Tyler McNamer was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2, and he learned to overcome his challenges and embrace the unique perspective he could offer the world. It is this attitude that makes him a role model, particularly for those with autism or who may be perceived as being different. As he puts it, "I have been blessed with autism my entire life. I have chosen to accept my label of autism not as a disability, but as an extraordinary ability." Knowing that this viewpoint could help those who struggle with being different, McNamer decided to write a book to inspire others.

At the age of 17, he published "Population One: Autism, Adversity, and the Will to Succeed." This remarkable book details McNamer's life with autism while encouraging others to overcome their own challenges and accomplish their dreams. His second book, "Becoming One: Autism, Adolescence, and the Transition to Adulthood," helps others understand what it's like to have autism and make the transition to adulthood. This second book continues where "Population One" left off, taking the reader on the journey from graduation, to retaining a job, to relationships, experiencing depression, overcoming adversity, and finding one's place in the world. This book is about using your unique abilities to create a life that you love. Order your copy now.
