This is one of my very favorite videos! Jason McElway has autism. His example, and the example of his peers, shows how anyone - no matter what their abilities are - can enjoy life and form great friendships. I just love the acceptance he found in his high school. Get the tissues ready!!!

My daughter was shown this clip in seminary the other day. Beautiful story! And I'm using my sleeve since I'm out of tissues.

I absolutely love this story. It gives me such hope to see the acceptance this wonderful young man found. I wish that so much for my own son.

Danyelle,
The Today show did a special on children in Autism today - they may have an archived video of it if you are interested -
