Fantastic. Tears didn't stream down the cheeks, but they welled up. BTW, if this hadn't been on the football board, I wouldn't have seen it, so spec!

This is a neat, feel good story.
The kid has a very high functioning form of autism, Aspergers most likely. Most of the autistic kids will not be able to achieve what he has, but it never hurts to have that goal and try.
