14-year old Alex "Big Al" Moshenko, of course!
Article: Taking Autism to the Airwaves, Maryalice Demler,
Anchor/Reporter
What also makes his show, Al’s Wrestling Talk, unique is that while Alex talks about
wrestling superstars, he also talks about how he’s spent most of his
young life wrestling autism. And he hopes to inspire others to overcome
their limitations.
"That’s what I want, to help a lot of other kids
who have autism, too. Because I found my talent, I’m sticking to it,
and I’m not going to stop," says Alex.
Alex celebrated his 14th birthday not too long ago. I meant to post a Happy Birthday wish to him but somehow missed the opportunity. But it’s never too late to post a "Happy Belated Birthday" now is it?
Happy Belated Birthday Alex!
Thank you for your comment Moggymania but with all due respect, I’m guessing you didn’t follow the links. There is absolutely nothing “sad” about any of this. I encourage you to take a few minutes and read up on Alex and his mother Monica Moshenko. If you do so, you may find yourself “wrestling” with a very different impression.

Ugh… Wrestling his autism? Sad the kid has been led to feel that way about himself…it’s like saying:
“What do wrestling and being gay have to do with one another? Why, Mr. RandomMan! He not only talks about wrestling, he talks about how he ‘wrestles’ his homosexuality in hope of someday being allowed to marry. He wants to help other gay guys beat their sexual abnormality too!”
(Note: I’m strongly in favor of gay rights, not slamming them. The gay/autie parallel has been pointed out by friends that are both quite a few times; it was the first that came to mind here. 😉
