Has anyone read this. I bet they wish they had put him in the school team earlier.

If you think that's a great read, watch the end of the game! Here's a link to the actual game and CBS report on Jason, including interviews with the lad:

Way Hey! I've just watched that and it's brought tears to my eyes.

 

Fabulous, way to go Jason

Thanks for that!!

 

Both hubby and I found that very touching and well done to that coach for giving him a shot. He was on fire defintely, got to go and get some tissues that was lovely to watch

I bet the coach is kicking himself that he didn't let him play on the team from the start of the season

Someone pass the tissues. Could even hear the emotion in the reporters voice. But in part I am angry, why didn't the coach let this amazing little player play before ? Because of his Autism ? I really hope not.
