Alex Moshenko is the son of disability advocate Monica Moshenko, Parent, Advocate and Host of Disability News Radio and friend and volunteer of [with]tv. This is her son’s story:
"My name is Alex Moshenko. I am 14 years old now. I was diagnosed with a form of autism, Asperger syndrome, when I was six. I never cared about it too much. I actually made someone laugh when I was first told about it, which is always a good start – better to laugh than cry."
The above is Alex’s introduction to an article he wrote for TAP Magazine: The Autism Perspective titled “Who is Big Al of Al’s Wrestling Talk?"
"Ever since then, I have had sensory issues and social skills problems, but I am able to stick to something and learn all I can from it. I have been on TV multiple times and in the newspaper a few times too. I have been an advocate for autism since I was about eight years old. It was then that I first found out about wrestling."
Like his mother, Alex is now the host of his own radio program: Al’s Wrestling Talk.
