A Jedi Training Academy and Autism story

[KisanMcG]

OT, but heartwarming.

This was a wonderful story that has been circulating today, about a little boy with Autism and how he wanted nothing more than to battle Darth Vader at the Jedi Training Academy...

I am so happy for this little boy and his family.

His reply to the post was also so good he really shows what a true cast member is. that why it is so important to let disney know when a cm dose great things and makes your trip special.

Here's a link to a thread about this on the Theme Parks Board.

I loved this story. I'm an 18 year old with autism. The CMs are awesome!!

that made me cry. As the parent of a 6 year old mildly autistic star wars obsessed boy, I felt her pain when the rain started. that would have broken my little boys heart into a million pieces. (I also understand being sure people would think he is spoiled when he is not).

I am still a little worried about this plan of ours to take our 3 kids to DW...but that makes me feel better - if the cast members are that accommodating.
