An article in the B.C. Catholic Newspaper, Youth who fights autism turns basketball phenom, provides an update on “autistic team manager” my-life-changed-in-four-minutes-basketball-player Jason McElwain:
…..J-Mac is enjoying the spotlight as he willingly signs autographs for anyone who asks.“This is the best time of my life, right here,” he said.
“He walked through the door. He showed he can excel as a normal person,” Debbie McElwain said. “This is something Jason can be proud of for the rest of his life.”
Is it not possible to excel as an autistic person?
