God bless boys like Anthony. His obsession and love for vintage cars, and his artistic talent are amazing.

I thought for sure those were life size cars.Those scenes are better then Hollywood in many many movies. Great work, great Art. Keep it up.

What a beautiful, extraordinary young man! I didn’t want his story to end!

I know, right? When some people think of Autism, I imagine some would think "Poor kid". But I think that with the right guidance, he can channel that Autism into something positive, like his car collection and displaying his cars. 🙂

​@@DeeHenry23what's his site on fb

I was fortunate to meet this young man yesterday at my car club's gathering.. Such an inspiring kid!

I have been following Anthony on Facebook for months, probably near the beginning of his being on there. Even after seeing Facebook pictures everyday, this video was over the moon. I just cried watching it. I think the whole family is special. So enjoying watching this journey. ♥️😎

So have I. I wish I could meet him personally and talk to him and tell him how much I love his photography, that I'm also interested in cars.

This is a beautiful story! When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! That child is beautiful and smart beyond and explanation! He could hang out in my garage anytime! May God continue to support him!

I came here from the facebook post. Fantastic story that should be watched by so so so many people. Very inspiring. Life can be so simple and passionate as each one of us decides to.

I'm a photographer in wisconsin. Thanks for sharing your story. I grew up with Epilepsy that cause me to have seizures. If you asked me what I remember about my childhood I would tell you nothing except the stories I know by looking through photo albums. Today I have been seizure free for 20+ years.

It is really awesome that he helped the police by identifying that car !!! Awsome work !!!

Yes, that was amazing!!

I have watched this short video over and over. Anthony is amazing! His work is powerful and beautiful. Simple and elegant. Someday, I hope to meet Anthony as his passion for cars actually surpasses mine, something I never thought possible!

Anthony is a really amazing asset!

You do amazing work Eric! Keep up the great job!!

Wonderful story I can't wait till hopefully one day your KZread catches up and passes your Facebook. You truly deserve the views and these stories need to be seen and shared. Anthony you kick butt broski. Keep rocking and collecting your photos were breathtakingly beautiful.

I never tire of watching this. Probably watched it ten plus times.

Truly amazing, this had me in tears, what an amazing young man Anthony is. All I can say is WOW!!!

I think it’s about time Anthony gets him self al 1:1 scale restoration project!

This is such a beautiful story when I was a job coach I had a Asperger's individual who loves NASCAR statistics and I was able to get him and his mother free tickets to go to Loudoun to see the actual cars if he was obsessed with. I asked him how did he like it he says oh it was very noisy! Which was as good a thank you you could get. 🙂

Because of this episode of Eric's Little Heros, I have now ordered his calendar for two years, and have ordered one of his T-shirts for a Christmas gift ❤ I also follow Anthony on all of his social medias 😊

I wish i was to be an expert as him about the years and brands of the cars. I love his story and i follow him with respects.

WOW! I love to see his pics and very glad to be part of his FB group. The way he sees things and captures them are amazing :)

Great story about a great kid. Anthony's sense of detail and sensitivity to the feel and imagery are wonderful, and so too is this story. Well narrated, and told. You have a new subscriber Eric!

Best kids I ever worked with when teaching was when I worked with middle school Non-verbal Autistic boys. He reminds me so much of how special those boys where/are/ Love, love love this video. Thanks for making it and sharing it with us.

Two years later and Anthony's enthusiasm has not diminished. He was given advice from a professional on composing his pictures and it has gotten even better. He even told about his hobby/obsession at a gathering of car enthusiasts. And he's becoming known all over the world. What an amazing and inspiring young man.

This kid is absolutely amazing. I've never seen anything so spectacular because of so many levels of achievement. I don't even know where to start. An iPhone? Are you kidding me? With a creative mind like his and the ability to see through all the technical B.S. this dude will go far. Based on what he has already achieved, there is no end to where his life will take him. His iconic accomplishments will definitely help me with some much needed motivation to be better with my own photography. This is unbelievable.

What a beautiful boy. And a wonderful story. God bless

You are awesome Anthony!!! What an inspiration this young man is!!!

Amazing! Simply amazing. He should team up with Jay Leno for an episode on cars! It would make a great show!

Just amazingly beautiful such a talented young man ❤️Blessings always ❤️❤️❤️

How come I can’t hit ‘thumbs up’ more than once For this video? It would be well -deserved.

God Bless this kid

I've been connected to Anthonys FB for awhile and with every post he gets better and better. What a nice family

Your talent could make you a career for life young man. And you will be preserving history at the same time. I agree with another post, I think its time you start to build a full scale project for your first car.

I love cars and taking pictures of them….Anthony gives his cars a story

My friend Tripp is just like this on the spectrum but his hobby is wrestling and 80s movies. Can name any 80s movie, no matter how obscure, it's really cool

Incredible detail! Amazing collection. This story is so heartwarming in a difficult world. Thank you for sharing.

What a talented and awesome young man.

..what a wonderful piece.... about an extraordinary person... thank you ...

Hi Anthony I've been watching your builds. Proud of you young man

Awesome kid. Best thing I watched today.

Beautiful story. God bless.

Wow so cool! Love his pictures!!

This young man is a photographic genius!

I'm a big car nut who grew up loving cars, especially vintage cars.

Great video.👍👍♥

Proud to be a member of his Facebook page and I find his talent to be an amazing one. Looking forward to buying his art in the near future for my next garage.

Wonderful story. Bright young man.

I’ve been following this young man on Facebook for a couple years now and his work is absolutely stunning!!!

and now a year later his pictures are leaps and bounds ahead of where he was then, his art is getting better by the day and the title of his new book coming out soon "Shifting Perspectives" is so very fitting in more ways than one as its not just changing how you see the cars its shifting your view on how you see him and those like him. well done Anthony. keep reaching for the stars.

excellent - what a natural talent. thx for sharing your amazing work.

This young man is awesome!!! Keep up the good work...

Amazing. ❤

This was awesome!

I can relate to that. I've been interested in cars (among other things) since I was a boy. And I still am. 🙂

I see his Facebook posts multiple times a day and have never once been less than amazed, impressed, inspired, grateful, awestruck...

I’m totally amazed by your vision. Keep up the great work!

Awesome young man !!!

Just found this,thanks for making! Following on FB. Anthony is amazing! Will be watching your other videos!

He is an awesome young man and he gives me so much joy seeing him do what he loves. I wish him the best in everything he does. I hope he see's this post. If not, I hope someone close to him let's him know. Thank you!

Amazing talented guy!

Wonderful story. Great kid .

Absolutely phenomenal, I’ve loved cars ever since my mom bought me my first dime store toy car at about 1 1/2 to 2 years old. I thought I was a total car fanatic (which I am), but this kid has my beat. I’ve had a lot of die cast models too, but he’s got a lot more. Keep up this wonderful work, it is truly a gift!!! Absolutely wonderful

AWESOME !!!!

Anthony has made the world a more beautiful place! Thank you for sharing! Follow him on Facebook! He is inspiring!

So very inspiring- I'm placing a link on my blog right after I purchase a t-shirt and book!

So awesome! Also girls too!!

Awesome!

Amazing young man

i just love him. his passion and talents for supersede what people perceive kids on the spectrum.

Very interesting ideas ....what a beautiful story.....Best wishes young man and thanks for sharing your talents !!!

Such nice guy.Thank you for a video.So nice to meet you, dear Anthony❤💞💕💗🧡

Amazing so incredible. Beautiful photography. I am the same with Disney and culinary. Very inspiring young man

Eric is a true artist. His tools are models, Earth and the portraiture thereof. His skills are amazing at such a young age and yet I imagine they will only get better with time. I too have built models since I was quite young, started out with space ships and battleships before I moved on to cars. Then like Eric in my shop class at school we were assigned to design n build a model house. Afterwards I brought the house home and one fall day I did just what Eric did, I parked model cars in front of the house andbtook pictures. That was 45 years ago and to this day if someone sees the pics they ask where they were taken because they believe it's a completely real house n place to them, but they can't recall where they saw the house. I tell them out in the backyard. 😁 You keep it up Eric, yours are way better than mine and you've got one really fantastic start!

love the work he is an amazing person I love the work and model collection this guy has raw talent i wish i had the skills he does and his taste in cars is amazing words cant describe my enthusiasm seeing his content

I have Spina bifida and I'm 34 years I'm in a wheelchair and I have been obsessed with cars since I was a kid and we've had 4 old cars our current car is a 1930 Ford rat rod I have about 600 model cars this video is so cool

This was marvelous!! Your imagination and devotion is sooooo impressive. Don't EVER stop! I look forward to seeing more. (I'll try to figure out how to join your page. .....see, I'm old and technologically inept. My kids had me believing for a whole year that L.O.L. meant Little Old Lady....!)

😅Good on you kiddo, AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING... 😊❤

Amazing eye for detail

I can't be the only one who wishes we were his Grandparent 🌹
