Very nice story. A sincere thanks to all that were involved.

I can relate to the mother as I also have two sons (13,11) that are autistic. I hope to own a cobra soon so I to can give me boys a ride some day.

Very touching story. Must admit I welled up somewhat (and that's very hard for me to do).

Tag, you're not alone. My 6 year old son was recently diagnosed with ASD too. One of the reasons I'm building my Cobra is so that he and I can get involved in this project together. He's already looking extremely forward to it, as am I!

Well done to all who helped, my daughter was diagnosed early with ASD so stories like that hit home pretty hard.
Nice job to all.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply. Let me know if I can be of any help. We have been working with the ASD diagnosis for 10yrs now.

Here is a picture of my oldest son with 1 of his 2 dream cars (the other being a 65 cobra).

That was an awesome story and I can see it being shared all round the world.

I shared it with the staff at work and instantly there was talk about helping and makin a difference for others.

I have a relative with ASD and my cousins got so involved they they developed this website for developmental toys which has proven to be very popular. Just thought that I would share and it may be of interest to some.

I, like many I'm sure can tend to get bogged and flogged with life's negativities sometimes...this certainly put my day into perspective.

Bloody inspirational. People helping people. Awesome work Mario.
