    High school senior with autism, who is usually nonverbal, delivers an 'unexpected' speech that steals the show at his graduation ceremony. "Do the unexpected. It is your life that you are living, not anyone else’s, so do what fulfills you." https://abcn.ws/2ycpsfZ pic.twitter.com/b3G0jX0Wk0

        This gives me chills. Not only what it took for this student to speak at graduation but his perfect message.

        Congratulations well done. I learned from you today. It’s not learning “disability “. It’s learning difference.

        Forceful and profoundly moving. What a speech. Never underestimate what can be accomplished by someone seeking to exceed expectations.

        I'm having a SUPER hard time not to cry. As an autism mom I not only see the HUGE thing he did right there, but I see the very very hard work over the span of his entire previous life, that led him there. I am so proud on his behalf. Awesome guy.
