Being Different in School and Learning About My Autism, w/Anthony Ianni - Autism Knows No Borders

Anthony Ianni talks about when he first noticed his autistic differences, how he learned about his autism, and the progress of autism awareness over the years.

Anthony Ianni is an autism self-advocate, a sought-after motivational speaker, and a former basketball star. As the NCAA’s first Division 1 college basketball player with autism, playing for Michigan State University, Anthony surpassed all limitations that doctors had predicted for his life. He currently works for the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and travels the country as part of the Relentless Tour, advocating against bullying and educating students about autism. Anthony’s memoir, Centered, is expected to be released in early September 2021.
