Even though this video took place over a year ago, it just now seems to be getting public recognition through the Huffington Post. Watch this amazing 6th grade boy with autism give a speech at his “moving up” ceremony. His words are truly inspiring.

Inspiring words from such a young boy:

“As we leave here today I have a challenge for all of you. We are all different. Not less, just different. We all have things we’re good at, things we need to work on, and things we need help with. Whenever you see someone else who is different, instead of just judging them or being a bully, I challenge you to offer help and treat that person with the kindness you have shown me over the last six years. Remember, all of you can make a difference in someone’s life. You’ve already made a difference in mine.”
