I really liked it.
This speech portrayed amazing positivity, and it is very true. :)

What? I'm allowed to feel that way aren't I? Doesn't make his speech any worse. I just don't like the sound of his voice, atleast I didn't say the things that Abraham said, those things were uncalled for.

Oh, come on, half my nerdy friends talk like that. The only reason I don't is because I learned to hear speech as though it were music and copy the patterns; and it's not like that can be expected of everyone.

I loved it, especially the institution joke. While his voice might not be the prettiest sound I've ever heard I think he's done really well for a guy who started out not speaking at all with a poor prognosis. I really like the positive message. It's all about your choices and what you make with what you've got.

I'm so proud of his parents, and NT classmates who have treated him so well and appreciated him for who he is. That's how it's supposed to be!
