Autistic Kid Shoots Miracle Round on Basketball Court in Final 4 Minutes

Autistic Kid Shoots Miracle Round on Basketball Court in Final 4 Minutes
high school basketball coach in Rochester, NY, who, for the last game of the season, let somebody play who'd never even suited up before -- an autistic boy who'd helped with water, towels and practices. He absolutely caught fire on the court, launching 3-pointers through the net one after another.

Never let the label of autism be associated in your mind with failure.

A high school basketball coach in Rochester, NY, for the last game of the season, let somebody play who'd never even suited up before —  the team's autistic manager. Not only had the boy the ability to churn out team spirit all year while working as the lowly "team manager", he absolutely caught fire as a player on the court, launching 3-pointers through the net, one after another. Thanks to WS-i user Jeff who sent this "very inspiring" CBS video. Steve Hartman's reporting is just right.
