Hi my name is Anton Gasper and I have been an original member of the Autism Aspergers Friendship Society Of Calgary since it started in 2004.
I have the honour of being one of the 5 original members of this organization.
AAFS gave me and the other members a chance to enjoy many fun activities that I never had a chance to try before.
My favourite events when I joined AAFS were going to Hockey games and going to the movies.
I made lots of good friends who are still with me to this very day. I am very proud that our founder Dean is my best friend and I was the best man at his wedding
Before AAFS, I had a hard time making friends and going to new places.
I didn’t like crowds or being around a lot of people I didn’t know.
Loud noises or surprises would make me feel uncomfortable.
And believe it or not, I was very shy and would never speak unless I absolutely had to.
All this changed after I joined AAFS
When I was around 14 years old, I went with AAFS to a Flames game where I left the group to watch a TV camera man work. I was very interested in his job and wanted to try it.
I told all my friends and the staff at AAFS that I wanted to be a TV camera man when I grew up.
Dean and the Staff from AAFS helped me to go after it and were always supporting me.
In 2011, I went to Mount Royal University. I was accepted into the TVP program and then transferred into the Broadcast program which I graduated from in 2015.
For the past 3 years, I have been employed by the Calgary Flames organization where I am a side line cameraman for the Stampeders and I run the Faceoff camera for Flames games.
My dream came true and it couldn’t happen without the love and support of my best friend Dean, the staff and my friends at AAFS. This is what AAFS has done for me and can do for all their members
Thank you very much
