How could you not be a Boston fan?

Midway through this video of an autistic person singing the national anthem, the whole crowd joins in with him

My brother is disabled and I have to say that moments like the one in the video are so important to the family.

At my brother's graduation from middle school the entire auditorium stood up and cheered for him as he hobbled across the stage to get his certificate. He doesn't remember it but it made a huge impact on my parents who were there and even me who wasn't there.

Day after day the close family of disabled individuals deal with the "differences" of the child and the challenges he faces. To have a community rise up and encourage them like that helps them keep going.
