Knowledge is important however and its refreshing to see programmes like Frost, Waterloo road and the latest film Adam that is released shortly that highlights autism in its different forms. Our kids are superstars!!!! I would just like society to be more informed and accepting of these truely gifted individuals!!!! We love them!!!!!

It reminded me of my sons first year of high school and PE. One of the most popular seniors in school just befriended them and became a part of their school life that year. I honestly will never forget him nor will my sons. He really helped during one of the toughest transitions. I really believe there are many compassionate kids out there, they just don't make the news. I LOVED this story. It reminded me of my sons first year of high school and PE.
