This video was making the rounds among bloggers a couple weeks ago. It's an actual news report from Rochester, New York, of an autistic teenager who, after years of serving as the team manager, gets put in the last game of the season by his coach. You won't believe his performance. When Sara and I watched it, we both got all choked up. And two weeks later, it still brings a smile to my face. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
Watch it at Google Video.

This story created quite a stir at the Sight and Sound water cooler, and it made me smile upon hearing it, but seeing it was magical. Thanks for the link.

Thank you very much for sharing such passion in the struggle for helping children and families cope with autism. (my apologies for the weird name I’m doing it for the benefit of toys designed for therapy in autism if you could please visit my lin tnomeralc web design toys for further info)
