He’s already been offered …I heard 25 scripts, but that seems high. Including…Disney(arrghh!Noooo, not Dennis Quaid and Danny Glover!).
The kid sounds so confident, I don’t think he’s ever had a self-esteem problem. And never will.
The thing I like about the video is the crowd going absolutely nuts. They felt it. That’s what makes me cry.
Not true in my experience, even if he is very high functioning. Of course this was an esteem-building, exciting event, but…
Autistic kids are often depressed, and self-esteem is a big part of that. They are treated differently and they know it. IIRC, this boy’s mom said he’s had his ass kicked before for being a “retard.”
Shit, half the kids in any given High School could say that…
Yeah. They printed up the signs and everything- and his teammates were really excited too. That’s terrific.
If Disney gets to do this story, you just know that he’s going to go 12-for-12 and hit the game-winning buzzer beater in the championship game. Oh well.
