Guess what? I have a fan club. Fans of Kyra Davis is a group on Facebook that actually seems to be growing. Even writing that seems weird. After all, who am I? Not Hannah Montana, that’s for sure. Nor am I some kind of iconic figure and/or movie star. Of course I’m insanely flattered and I will do what I can to make sure my books are worthy of that kind of support. I even accepted the founder of the club’s invitation to be an administrator to the group and occasionally lead discussions.
But I think it’s important to remember that there are a lot of other non-movie-star-types out there who deserve fans. This video features one major example:
I’ll be honest, the diagnosis of this kid seems somewhat suspect to me but I certainly recognize that he does have some mental disabilities and his accomplishments detailed in this clip are flat out amazing. Not just that he just made a few baskets and won the game but that he has found a way to interact with his peers. If he is indeed autistic he has been able to find a way to relate and express himself with seeming ease and that had to have taken an enormous amount of work and almost inhuman patience. If anyone knows if he has a fan club do let me know, I want to be a member!

i cant find the fan club on facebook :( can u post a link
See if this works. If not friend me on Facebook and then check out my groups on my info page (yes, it's geeky to be a member of your own fan club but it was the only way I could post a note to its founder and members).
