This is a really inspiring story about a young man with autism who just made Eagle Scout and how inclusion really works. Stories like these help people and communities to see that there are no limits to what people with autism can do!

This story is so awesome! The media needs to engage in many more positive stories about kids with autism, there out there and they would help change the negative image that exists. Check out www.jeffreystoycloset.webs.com and www.jeffreystantonracing.webs.com for another story about a young boy with autism making a difference for thousands of children. He also races a bandolero and currently is leading in National INEX Points. He also has 9 websites that he built and keeps updated on a daily basis. As a young toddler, the school system and his doctors were very negative. We engaged him in his likes of nascar and computer graphics and now just stand back in awe!
