DJ's Journey
DJ Svaboda: Artist, Author & Public Speaker Extraordinaire!
DJ's passion is drawing, writing and public speaking - not bad for a guy who, at the age of 3 years old was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, along with psychomotor retardation. Simple tasks and even holding a pencil was more than a challenge.
Fast forward over the years, and at the age of 32, DJ's talents have taken him far, and continue to enable him and his mother Cindi to reach hundreds, thousands, of people through his artwork, books and speaking engagements!
DJ has created over 3,000 different characters, written several short story books and coloring books, all created to help Raise Awareness and Gain Acceptance for those with Autism and special needs.
