  • When a school asked a boy with no experience to join their cheerleading team, they never realized how he would end up teaching them. 10News Daniel Sechtin and Grant Robinson introduce us to a very special Anderson County cheerleader.

    This is what happens when kids get to be kids and shove all the garbage away. There's no bullying, just acceptance. I know this is a 4 year old video, but it's beautiful.

      I get so caught up in politics and debates and wars and all the horrors of life I go down this rabbit hole for a day. Just so I don't lose my faith in humanity. It may be an old video but it's message is timeless.

      @@GENXleaningright Yup. If it's not Syria, it's Ukraine or now Israel. You would get so tired from it. Draining all your energy against these greedy and arrogant people in power with their egos trying to bring us down.

      Nope. It was for SJW points. They probably put this experience on their high school resume so that they could get into woke elite colleges.

    I hope some of those young ladies kept up with him as friends after high school. It's the later-years that can really harm them after they've been exposed to heavy amounts of socializing which seems to end overnight after high school.

      I am happy to say that he's still very close to a lot of the girls he cheered with pulse some other young ladies who weren't on the cheer team but went to school with him!!

    This really means a lot to me. I'm struggling with depression, anxiety and learning disabilities. The fact they beautiful ladies went out of there way to make Daniel feel welcomed to their team it just makes me feel like no matter what you struggle with that there is always someone there to cheer you on.

    42, man with autism, going for my black belt in taekwondo, as well as college graduate living on my own, am still amazed at what a person with autism can do. I think autism in a way is a gift, because when it comes to our hopes and dreams, we never take no for an answer! 😉💯🔥

    Autistic boy makes friends on the cheerleading team and is like the only boy in the group. Also like the only boy at parties with girls. Well I’m happy for him. My mother used to be on the cheerleading team for her high school team as well.

    way to go I tried out for cheer in 1989 but I was unable to get into cheer because I wore my leg brace to help stables myself and I didn't make it because I wore my brace

    • @calebclark1821
      @calebclark1821 Před rokem +2

      coming from someone who is autistic, but not as severely as him, i think this demonstrates their bias towards mentally disabled people if a cheer team will allow him there but they won't allow someone like yourself. sure, it's helped him socially but it shows that they let him in purely because his difficulties are so severe.
