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.

Autistic people are somehow afraid of society, but are wonderfully skilled at something else.This autistic teenager is a good example of this.

a spastic person is physically disabled and even physicall disabled people find that word insulting.
