This is great. His family must be so proud of this kid.

My one best friend and my friend now living in Puerto Rico have an autistic son. He is very much like the young man in the video.

When Tommy was 16 he got up in front of a big conference held in Columbus on what direction the healthcare and mental health agencies need to do to help the growing Autism community and gave a speech that had everyone’s attention and caused several people to tear up. He got a standing ovation.

This was funded by Ohio State University and Nationwide Children’s Hospital and many of the big wigs from those entities and some Ohio politicians were in attendance. It did not phase him at all. They were just people.

My buddy, rest in peace, and his wife were both stunned yet beaming with pride how well he did with his speech.

That’s been almost 9 years ago now. Damn…time.

Tommy, last I heard, is doing well and out on his own now.
