1. I heard about it
but hadn't watched the video until just now.

I've worked w/ autistic children. Watching this brought tears of joy to my eyes. Beautiful and well-deserved.

3. It made me cry, too, Mrs. G.
I am working with a family who has a non verbal autistic child and I showed them the potential that this little guy has.
