So..... for those of you who don't know my oldest son is autistic. More specifically aspergers syndrome. In 8th grade when he chose to play football I thought it would end in a week. Well he's a senior now. He plays ball better now than I ever thought he would. Today he called from practice to tell me he was done because of limited play time and a difficult class load. It's just not worth it he said. I told him to man up look the coach in the eye and tell him. This is very difficult for a kid with aspergers. But he did it.

It didn't go as planned. It seems one of the freshmen saw him trying to turn in his pads and told everyone. The team talked him out of quitting and coach wouldn't take his pads. One kid said it's not Bucs football without Boody. (His nickname) it turns out you don't have to be the star to be the heart and soul of the team.


Anyway. How was your day?

He made the right choice to stay. The hardest part of the season is already over. Glad his team stepped up.

I'm proud of him. Facing Coach was probably one of the toughest things he's ever done. It was a good day for his growth as a man. He learned how to speak up for himself and that you often don't know how important you really are.
