He just did what a lot of folks on the spectrum would do if given the chance in life...he just did the right thing without doubt or panic. A lot of people when confronted with a 'situation' can't handle things in a calm and rational manner...It's nice to see he's getting recognition for his natural skills, and encouragement to continue to reach his goals.

Glad to know that autistics besides insane killers get press. This young man makes us all proud.
