About Tony Hernandez Pumarejo

Born and raised in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Tony was diagnosed with autism at age 3. As part of being on the autism spectrum, Tony faced different challenges, such as: being nonverbal until age 4, being in special education and delayed at school for a year, social communication, severe anxiety, repetitive behavior, depression, among others.

However, Tony has been able to overcome these challenges through not only formal therapies like speech, and occupational, but more, his true therapy was the school of hard knocks. He graduated from Seminole State College with a bachelors’s degree in business and information Management (with 3.7 Magna Cum Laude honors) and released my memoir “An Autism Unscripted Life” in 2018, , which was translated into Spanish in 2019 as “Una Vida Autista Sin Libreto. He completed his certification in life coaching from The International School of Coaching in 2024.

Tony has appeared on CNN en Espanol, Univision, Telemundo, Mega TV and other media outlets. Also, Tony had his own podcasts called My Time with Tony Hernandez Pumarejo and Hablemos Autismo.
