Air Force Cane Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 A real tearjerker.. nice to see his teammates and schoolmates still appreciate what is important in life. http://www.collegehumor.com/movies/1667265/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbasye Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 This is an incredible story, I have heard that a movie is actually going to be made of this boy's great moment in the spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Force Cane Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 what is weird is if Jason can hit 6 three pointers- why wasn't he playing in more games? how does a manager do that- it is like a Rudy story for the 21st century. could make a great movie I think..it would be inspirational for all of our "healthy" kids who sit on their butts all day long doing nothing.

Air Force Cane Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 well the kid IS autistic. So it is not like he is going to have the same interaction skills as a polished diplomat. I don't think he is trying to show people up by choice, he is probably just passionate and to him that is the way he relates. I mean, isn't that the definition of AUTISM?

HokieJ Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Yes Autistic kids typically have strange social skills at times (i am that dad of one). They said last night that this kid didn't even speak til he was 5 years old, so to be able to talk this well is quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Wow. People are still talking about this? *sigh* More power to the kid. This story is second hand, but... A few weeks ago he showed up at the Y and popped his head in the gym, my friend asked him if he wanted to play a game, he said "no, I just showed up to show my face, I gotta go to practice." And then he left. Kid is a bit full of himself. Now, that may be the autism effecting his social skills, I fully admit it. Like I've said before, however, it is one hell of a story.

SuperBash Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I don't want to seem mean or anything, but no one was playing defense on the kid! And making a movie about him is a bit of a stretch isn't it? Even meeting the President seems a little odd...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USDsk8ter123 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 i heard about this video for the first time in school today and i was looking for it. thanks for posting:applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieJ Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 They never said what the score of the game was when he came in. Based on the total lack of defense the other team is playing I assume it was a blowout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
