My daughter works with autistic children too, so I know about the many problems children like your grandson have to overcome. Like you, I wrote a book about it - Mending Jodie's Heart.

The doctors said he'd never play sports, but he was determined to prove them wrong. In high school he played every sport and in college went on to get his black belt. 142Sydell Voellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862642258281995462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-89968155822869652582014-12-11T16:25:49.228-08:002014-12-11T16:25:49.228-08:00Lovely excerpt Ginger.

But he overcame his disability to become a boxing champ at Notre Dame. He credits the love and support of his family and also the encouragement of the great Baltimore Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas for his success. Unitas was the Easter Seals Chairman the year Larry was selected the Easter Seals Poster Boy. He invited Larry to his games. Larry now walks with a slight limp, but I think it's sexy.Sandy Semeradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00690611576064729822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-5698556827849532232014-12-11T15:45:30.778-08:002014-12-11T15:45:30.778-08:00Ginger, this sounds like a great story.
