This is an amazing video that was sent to me by a friend. It’s a short clip about an autistic boy who was used to running about after a basketball team, getting water, mopping sweat and helping the coach out. although many of you may have seen it I thought i would share it. The boys name is Jason McElwain and this video was shot a few years ago. I thought I would share this with you as my inspiring video choice of the week.

I hate you a little for making me cry at 7AM. A wonderfully inspiring video indeed.

Don, amazing isn’t it. It’s one of those stories that would make a great family film.

Sorry Benjamin for the tears, it’s hard not to at stories like this.

Very inspiring and touching video! Jason is one of the great example to follow. And he simply shows that having disorder is not a hindrance.

I have a 4 year old who is autistic. I am so hopeful for his future! What I loved more about this than the basketball is that Jason was able to have meaningful relationships with others. This is something that my son cannot do right now – but I keep working and hoping. I watch these videos over and over again – hoping one day I will be watching my own son. To Jason’s parents – you are my inspiration!
