I hate repeating myself, but as much as I love the story, it's not news-worthy.

It should not be newsworthy but it is because what makes something newsworthy is that something is unusual or indicative of change. It is unusual because most autistics are bieng bullied not winning glorified popularity contests. This and other similar news stories I post might be indicative of change. It is relevent to many members here that believe bieng autistic means all NT's hate us.
