Must watch! (Feel good video)

Has anyone seen this? You may heard the story about this autistic student who played in the final game of his school's basketball season. In the last 4 minutes he scored 20 points.

Awesome story.

My cousin is autistic, and he's the best little guy ever. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and I cried like a baby watching this.

I think that a lot of kids with autism are even more intelligent and talented that regular kids, they just need to be given the chance.

Im glad that he was able to show how good he really is.

Thanks for sharing JD

I think the part that touched me the most was how the entire court went crazy at each score. Some of his teammates were jumping like crazy... glad to see how excited they were for him. That's something the kid will be able to look back on all his life. *warm fuzzies*

Am I the only one who thinks that this is a modern version of a freak show?
