Lucas is flying high

Hi there I would love you all to meet Lucas,,,, he is 8 years old and has autism,,, he is obsessed with airplanes,,, his life and our life revolves around airplanes,,,Lucas has taught himself the airline safety demonstration word for word with all the actions,,,, he has done this by watching a you tube clip and is very inspiring,,,, as most of you know these special people when they get fixated on something they just keep going and going,, Lucas kept asking me for a airline name badge (with his name on it) we have never asked for help during our roller coaster of therapies and thought why not you never know till you ask,, I sent Virgin a email and they went above and beyond to make Lucas dream come true,,,,, it is a very inspiring story not only that a big corporation made lucas dream come true but to see Lucas standing and speaking so confidently is very inspiring considering he was non verbal,,, I would love for this to give hope and strength to those newly diagnosed families of children with autism and remember you are not on your own,,,,,,, i have attached the you tube clip so you can all see Lucas
