Glad I waited until I was alone to watch that. Good for him, and good for everyone who rushed that court at the end. I will admit that it is kind of a bittersweet story to me-I have two severely autistic nephews who aren't as socialized as Jason. Thanks for sharing his success, Kevin.

Yep, teared right up. But nobody was lookin'. Heh.
Great story Kevin. Got a little bit of dirt in my eye towards the end. Pure coincidence, obviously...
That was the funniest thing ever, what a great kid. I wish my autistic brother and sister were good at something.

Thanks for a great story. (and a great blog).

Kevin,
Thanks for posting that.
It is good to hear some positive news.
He really quite an exceptional young man, I'm sure his parents are very proud.
Thank you again for posting it.
