He was an autistic with Aspergers... and he ran track. He was fast, very fast... but he always came in last. The problem there was they kept changing the track, the direction... sometimes there were too many turns and twists for his mind to remember. So he would lag behind just to be able to follow and know where to go. It was his confidence that was giving him trouble. His Dad, I think, figured it out and would go out before the track meets to put up signs just for the boy. From that, he went from last to first. He just needed to know exactly where to go each time and to be confident of it. <br /><br />Tommy has a great attitude about it though. I love that!Furry Bottomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126096393524594755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-25646391231653123392013-04-08T10:06:49.634-06:002013-04-08T10:06:49.634-06:00That's so sweet - it's great that he had a...That's so sweet - it's great that he had a nice day, even if he did come in last.
