What an absolutely delightful story. It is of a young adult, Justin Canha, who is transitioning to the real world - he also has autism. You will not regret reading all 10 pages of this NY times article! Autistic and Seeking a Place in an Adult World.
If you don't have time to read the article, watch the video (though it's not nearly as comprehensive): http://video.nytimes.com/video/2011/09/17/us/100000000972826/the-practice-round.html

I feel like crying my eyes out! Especially since I have brothers with Aspergers and I don't know how fully they will be able to participate in society as adults. That teacher is an angel!
