Author Bio:
Alphonso
P. Spain grew up all over the state of Texas--small towns, cities and sprawling
metropolises. At the age of 3 he was diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum
Disorder, and through his own determination and the help of fantastic teachers
and therapists he was able to develop into a fully functioning and adjusted
young man.
A
gifted child in spite of his "disability" Alphonso learned the
alphabet at 18-months, was reading at 2 ½ years of age and taught himself sign language at the age
of 3.
At 4
his mother disconnected his computer and removed it from his desk for bad
behavior. He simply went into the closet and hooked it up himself, away from
his mother's eyes. While most children were eating mud-pies, he was immersed in
books for readers twice his age. As a first grade student, teachers for a sixth
grade class asked him to help teach older student how to read.
When
Alphonso's family welcomed a younger brother into the household, he would read
him bedtime stories and instill a love of the written word in his brother that
continues to this day. He has not yet passed along his love of books to his
sister--she is more interested in ripping the pages out and eating them--but
she is still a toddler so he feels there is hope.
While
attending charter college prep middle and high schools in Houston, his teachers
helped him focus his writing, encouraging him to release his literary
creativity. He will graduate high school in 2012, going on to major in Creative
Writing at the University of Houston as one of the Class of 2016. Currently, he
lives in Houston, surrounded by his Grandmother and Mother along with his
siblings.
