Boy Scout Troop 400
In Fort Wayne, Indiana, Troop 400 is unique - it is a boy scout troop specifically for autistic boys.
“Every autistic child is different. Some are low-functioning, and someare high-functioning. But they tend to be individualistic, not likingto work together. My son has no friends, and this allows him to play with other kids.”
I can't even begin to say how much I would love to see Ben play with other kids, instead of just sharing space with them. If there was a troop like this here, I would try it out in a heartbeat.
