Gary Martinez is a father of two, an inspirational speaker, personal fitness trainer, and author of the book, Living Through Their Eyes: Our Journey Together on the Autism Spectrum. Gary is also the creator of the Digital Autism Course: S.T.A.R. Program.

Gary is an advocate for his daughter, Monica, who is on the autism spectrum. Of his experience parenting Monica, he writes, “Every day for Monica is a new beginning: she teaches everyone around her how her world works. We dive into each day together to find out what subjects make Monica happy during the day, to supply love and support she needs to enjoy life. This is a challenge to which I dedicate my life, and I want to share my daily hands-on experience to help others.”
