I was born on July 20th, 1966; my mother told me that I was born at 5 in the morning. My name is Franco and my name was chosen by my grandfather Lorenzo Cabrejos. I’m Peruvian and very happy to have an Inka ancestry. I’m the son of Olga and Juan Pincilotti, I was raised in the capital of Peru, Lima in a district that to me is the best district in the world, my Rimac. I finished primary school at the private school Villa Luisa de Humay, I always excelled in history and physical education. I finished my secondary school at Gran Unida Escolar Nacional, Carlos Pareja Paz Soldan, all of them at the Rimac district. I always participated in school activities and my strengths were still history and physical education throughout secondary school. I’m Catholic and I have a direct connection with God. I’m very athletic and I like soccer. I’m a fan of “U”, the biggest soccer club in Peru and internationally I’m a fan of Real Madrid. I enjoy dancing very much; especially Salsa music and some of my favorite artists are Hector Lavoe, Ruben Blades and many others. I’m passionate about politics and I’m a Conservative Republican. In 1985 I travelled to the United States and I arrived at the city of San Francisco, supposedly it was a short trip, but 30 years have passed and I stayed to live in California. With a lot of nostalgia and sadness my first pieces of writings came into existence. My first job was at a bakery. Soon love came into my life and I fell in love with her, the reason of my life, Jessica.  After a few months I got married with Jessica Pincilotti and after a few years my beloved son was born, Giovanni Pincilotti. Between the past and the present my first books came into existence, Algo De Mi y Del Mundo and Austim: Yesterday and Today (A book about the life of my son and autism). I’m the founder of the foundation Autismo El Ayer y El Hoy, foundation that brings technology to children with special needs. I give talks and conferences about autism and family relationships with regards to having a family member with special needs. I’m the creator of social inclusion projects and conscientization projects about autism, one of them is called “Con La Luz Encendida”. I also participate in radio programs discussing autism and family relationships when a member of the family has special needs. I’m the creator of the walk of autism’s conscientization day in the Bay Area of San Francisco, California. I often participate in TV and radio interviews about autism. I have a program in Facebook-live that is called Esto Es…Entre Nosotros which discusses autism and family relationships in which a member of the family has special needs.
