Anthony Ianni, of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, is one of the most sought-after anti-bullying motivational speakers in the region. At the age of four, Anthony was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, which is on the Autism Spectrum. Doctors and specialists told Anthony's parents that he would barely graduate from high school, would never graduate from college, would never have a shot at being an athlete and would likely live in a group institution with other Autistic kids for his entire adult life. Despite bullies, adversity and numerous personal challenges, Anthony worked hard and became the first known athlete with autism to play Big 10 basketball for Michigan State University.
Anthony has pledged his life and career to help those who face similar challenges. He has been invited to tell his story and share his message across the country and has inspired countless individuals to "LYD"- Live Your Dreams.
