The story is impressive but coverage of autistics with savant abilities I believe conveys an unrealistic ideal to those who are not. 1 in 200 people with autism actually have some incredible ability, whatever it may be, and I think that group is marginalized.

There is a kid at the camp I work at in the summer who's autistic. He is really just another kid, aside from when he talks and the things he talks about. He doesn't sound like this cat on the basketball video. He's a really strong swimmer. I don't think that should make the news, but none the less, I give him props for it.
I saw this kid on Oprah recently. I don't mean this in a hateful way, but you can tell that there is something "different" about him, especially when he talks. I think he has more than just autism going on.
I've never seen a piece in the news that was saying "Autistic people should be looked down upon" is what I mean by negative. In terms of Autism being negative in terms of effects on a human being, yes, there are news stories about that. Trying to find out what causes Autism isn't negative, at least that's not how I meant it.
My point is that it doesn't matter if your friend ( I think you're straight up lying) didn't get media coverage - he should of if he didn't, and this kid deserved all the media attention that he got. Lets just be happy for him, Okay? Can we drop it? Good.
Jon Black @ Pleasant View Christian School did it. It was cool. The other team didn't care because they were up by 30 points. They let him shoot threes and he was on fire and ungaurded. It might have made the local paper, but not the Nashville paper. It was cool because Jon was a good guy who got hot in his one moment on the court. It was NOT worthy of national news.
If a player on any basketball team were to unleash six 3 in a 4 minute span the crowd would go nuts! Every fan of that team could recognize that he wasn't a starter. Now add the fact that it was his 1 time to EVER be in a Varsity game! Plus those 4 min. were the LAST 4 min. of the GAME! It is note worthy to mention that he is autistic but the story isn't about the disability its just about a kid having a chance to show something and succeeding with that opportunity.
ok, read the comment I left explaining how I knew a kid in highschool who wasn't autistic who did this. As for the last 4 minutes of a game: The last 4 minutes of the game was a blowout. They were the least meaningful time off the game.
You're just a flat out idiot. I have no respect for your comments. You must not be a basketball player, or come from a place where basketball even matters. Ask yourself this question: If a brandnew NBA draft player road the bench all season long and then in the last game of the regular season, in the last 4 minutes of the game he threw down 6 3 pointers, do you think that would be on ESPN SportsCenter? If you said no - don't respond. I don't want to hear more ignorance from you.
Your logic is failing. First off, if they're in the NBA, the guy would have this thing called "defense" played against him when they looked at him and said, oh wait, he's not autistic I don't feel bad about gaurding him. No one on the other team was going to block the kid's shots, and that was my original point. It was an unfair situation to put the other team in.

It is note worthy to mention that he is autistic but the story isn't about the disability its just about a kid having a chance to show something and succeeding with that opportunity.
I guess you're right because when I was in highschool there actually was a kid who scored a good ammount of points in his last game as a senior, having never played before. Yes, the people who knew him were excited about it. Did it get national news coverage? NO. Did it get local news coverage? NO. Well why does this story? Because he's Autistic. That's the main difference. The kid I'm talking about score in double digits as well, was in for about the same ammount of time.
If Autistic people could play basketball, this would not be a news story. The reason he went in for the first time in the last four minutes of his last game his senior year was not that they were waiting to unleash him on a team. That is what I mean by "obviously not supposed to be able to." If you were obviously able to play basketball THIS WOULDN'T BE A STORY.
But see, for someone to get excited about this video, they have to feel they are superior (or have autism). If a person didn't feel superior, then they wouldn't cheer or flip out like everyone in the auditorium. I am not saying superior in a malicious way, I'm saying superior in a "I can play basketball and you're obviously not supposed to be able to" way.
So what do you think the story would have been if the other teams point-gaurd played full court D on him and blocked every shot he took? The point of the story is that this kid with a disability was able to shoot a bunch of threes. It does not mean that he's better at basketball than the kid he went in for. That's why he played the last 4 minutes of his senior year and not a minute more in his whole career. I apologize for absolutely nothing.
They put in an autistic kid to shoot threes after they were ahead by double digits. This is wrong. If I was on the other team a fight would have insued. You don't put someone on the court who has a mental disability, because it's saying to the other team. "This kid with a mental disability is better than your player at the same position." It's not heart warming. What would be heart warming would be the other team coming back and winning.
Just ignore the narcissistic sociopath, CorneliusPickle. He obviously has a severe case of low self-esteem, probably from an Erectile Dysfunction such as Premature Ejaculation or Inability to Establish or Maintain an Erection. I recommend intense Psychoanalysis, but first he must find a Gastroenterologist knowledgable in removing his head from his rectum.
