Last week my neighbor Justin was crowned homecoming king. What makes this moment so special is that Justin is autistic. He\u2019s always been a little different from his peers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Justin expressed gratitude for the honor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m gonna be honest with you. It\u2019s really gratifying, this opportunity. I\u2019m really proud of those who rallied around the school and voted for me.
