WROC TV News, Rochester N.Y., showed the amazing video of a kid with autism who did the unthinkable at a recent Greece Athena basketball game. He scored 20 points in the last four minutes. Dave Yates sat down with this young star about what seems like a fairy tale dream. This is worth celebrating no matter what disability you support or affects your life.
