Sharing What it is Like to Live with
autism
Hi, my name is Travis Breeding. I am 35 years old. I was diagnosed with autism when I was 22. I am the author of over 15 books about life on the autism spectrum. The books include discussions on common comorbid mental health conditions that coexist along with autism. I reside in Huntington, IN. I live with my parents and three dogs – Miley, Bella, and Scooter. I love to hang out with my dogs and take them on walks. I enjoy playing basketball with friends. I played basketball in elementary school and was one of the stars on the team. I have had many challenges with being on the autism spectrum. Keeping employment has been the hardest part of autism for me. Traditional jobs just do not work for me.

Instead, I am trying to make it through life and support myself as an entrepreneur. I love to write books about autism. I recently started my own publishing company – TEB Publishing – to help other people publish their books. My goal is to help parents of children with autism tell their stories in a book so that they can share their stories with the world like I do. I also hope to help publish books for autistic teens and adults who want to tell their stories. I personally believe everyone should be able to write and publish their story in a book. Life was easy in elementary school. Things really began to become a challenge for me when I got into middle school and I started having to change classes.
