Autistic student will be class salutatorian Posted on 16 Jun, 2010
Such a great article guys...check it out.
This Autistic student will be class salutatorian in Smithfield, RI.
Eric Duquette didn’t utter a word until he was 5 years old, getting through his early years with a combination of picture cards and sign language.
Eric, now a softspoken young man of 18, can’t remember why he didn’t speak early on. For him, the past doesn’t matter so much as the future.
Tuesday night, in a ceremony at Bryant University, he will graduate as salutatorian of Smithfield High School, with the second-highest grade point average in a class of 199.
