You may, or may not, know that I have a teenage son, diagnosed with highly functioning autism. In some ways, he’s very typical teenager, and in other areas, he really struggles. He’s very fortunate to go to a Scottsdale high school that is very inclusive, where he’s accepted for who he is.
The following video made the rounds last year, and I stumbled across it again recently. Still brought a lump to my throat.
A special moment for a “special” kid. Enjoy.

Thanks for sharing this again – these are the kind of stories we need to see more often
Cindy Knight’s last blog post..Happy Mother’s Day
Dru – Just wanted to thank you for sending the video our a few weeks ago – the high school student discussing the use of the word “retarded.” Since watching that, I’ve corrected two different people that use the word in passing in conversation. They really didn’t think it was all that bad… God bless!
