Dad celebrates teen who took his autistic son to prom

Now and then, we come across regular folk who do exceptional things that restore our faith in humanity.

This emotional post was shared on Facebook a couple of years ago, but it melts my heart every time I see it – so why not spread it forward?

It’s about a dad who talks about the day when a girl suddenly came into his office and asked permission to pop a question to his autistic son.

Children with special needs often just want experiences similar to what any child their age might want. Finding a date for a school dance is a high priority for any 17-year-old, so it can be a tough blow to one’s self-confidence if no one agrees to go with them.
