Tyler McNamer is an author and motivational speaker. Although he was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of 2, 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.
Knowing that this viewpoint could help those who struggle with being different, Tyler 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 Tyler's life with autism while encouraging others to overcome their own challenges and accomplish their dreams.
Having emerged as an up-and-coming voice in the autism community, he entertains thousands of people at schools and organizations all over the country as a motivational speaker. Â He also provides content for his website Autismworks.com.
Since the writing of Population ONE, Tyler and his Dad have had the privilege of meeting thousands of people affected by autism. They have been touched by the heartfelt comments, and hundreds of thousands of "likes" of the Population ONE video.
 DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT:Â
âTyler, this is such a well written and inspiring story. You are an Awesome individual! I am a retired Special Education Teacher and was truly moved by your story. Your integrity, inspiration, creativity and motivation made me speechless! I would have been honored to have a student like you in my classroom! Keep inspiring people, it's a good virtue! May you continue to live a long and happy life inspiring everyone that crosses your path!"
âWhen I first saw your program I was totally thrilled. Initially I was shocked but at some
point realized that your and my experiences are very similar. I realize that the spectrum is
infinite, with each person being unique, but I see Tyler and my son's IEP crossing at several
points. That is the point where things started to fall into place for me. That was the point
where clearer understanding arrived and excitement set in and all I could say was thank God
for this program.!â
âI was eager to read about Tylerâs continuing adventures in Becoming One. He has proven that a positive attitude and a willingness to think through situations and then make course corrections as needed can help you live an amazing and fulfilling life no matter what perceived setbacks you may face. This is not a âhow to live with autismâ book. Itâs a âhow to benefit from autism to the fullest extentâ book. Two thumbs up!â
âTyler McNamerâs Becoming One is the welcomed follow-up to his first book Population: One. In these pages, he continues to tell his insightful story of living with autism as he transitions into adulthood. McNamer offers a fresh perspective on autism that needs to be heard and embraced as we quit seeing it as something to be fixed and instead as something to be appreciated because it allows people to view the world in surprisingly different ways, and we can all be enriched by that. Tylerâs story is truly one of choosing to create your own destiny without letting anything stand in your way.â
âI was totally captivated by Tylerâs book. I am amazed at how well he, as someone on the spectrum, can articulate the milestones that a family experiences while growing through the world of autism. Thank you so much, Tyler, for making this book available so others can be educated through your personal experiences. You have helped me grow as a person, and I will use what I have learned from you to help others, including my own family.â
