Autistic Teen Scores Big in Basketball

March 15th, 2006 by Joe

My son has Asperger’s Syndrome, a learning and behavioral disorder that is often mis-categorized as “a form of mild autism.” Luckily my son is very high functioning compared to most others with Asperger’s. I’m always interested in reading stories about other children with disorders similar to that which my son has, and today I came across a video report of a story I’d heard on the radio not long ago.

When the autistic team manager of a high school basketball team got his chance in the spotlight, he shattered everyone’s expectations by scoring 20 points in four minutes. Steve Hartman has more. [Watch Video ]
