Inspiring Autism Story

Here's an inspiring story of a young man with Autism.  I give credit to his family for the support he's received.  He is more on the non-functional side, but completely able to do far more than what doctors said he would be able to do.

Inspirational story of young man with Autism

From the story:

Billy Pagoni is refusing to give up on his hopes for a higher education.
Diagnosed with severe autism at 18 months old, 21-year-old Billy has trouble speaking and communicating with others, making it difficult for him to integrate into a typical college environment.
Nevertheless, Billy had always dreamed of attending college, with hopes of one day becoming a professional chef.  However, according to his mother, Edith, there are currently no university programs suited to meet his special needs.
