A real nice story Leon. It's good to hear we have some fantastic people in this world.

There was an autistic boy on my son's third grade baseball team...every single one of those boys went out of their way to make him feel just as part of the team as anyone else. I had to stand behind him when our team was in the field to make sure he kept his eye on the ball so he didn't get hurt. He gave a running play by play of the game as if he were on the radio or TV...most of the other teams we played that season gave him some leeway. He could make contact with the ball, but not out of the infield..some teams would let him stay on first even if he was out..it was difficult for him to understand he had to go back to the bench if he was out.

This story really brought that season back to me Leon..thanks for posting it.

That was a very touching story Leon; thanks for sharing.

Would it change your perception of the story if you knew the original version featured a boy named "Shaya" and that he went to a Jewish school? Somewhere along the line in the retelling, someone changed the name. Interesting. It's a great story, whether it's true or not.

Why would it change a perception regardless of what religion someone is? And you know what, even if the story is pure fiction, but passing it around makes those who read it be a bit nicer to those less fortunate, is that such a bad thing? We need to pass around more stories like this instead of finding fault with them. And yes, with all of our members there is a great chance someone will say something contrarily, which is a sad state of affairs in the world we live in, imo. I think if each of us tries to make this place (earth) a bit better, instead of worse, we would all be better off. Just my half cent, and like I say, no doubt someone will disagree. It's ok.....everyone has a right to their opinion. best regards

to clarify, my comments were about the story and not pertaining to Tabe saying anything.....
