‘Never count yourself out’

On a cloudless spring afternoon on the crowded Glenbrook South track, Tommy Carroll placed his hand on the back of Shin Taniguchi's elbow. He didn't let go until they had finished the first stretch of a 2 1/2-mile lung-burning training run, matching strides as they moved, connected, around the track. Most afternoons, Carroll and his teammates form these rare duets in the individual sport of distance running, Carroll occasionally serving as a motivator, his teammates always serving as the eyes Carroll lost by age 2. The 17-year-old junior and his teenage teammates collaborate on his running career with such ease that their teamwork, extraordinary as it is, becomes ordinary. Just like Carroll.

At a recent screening of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" at the AMC Northbrook Court 14, the lights were a little brighter and the sound a little softer, and there were no ads before the feature film. Most of the moviegoers who had nestled into their seats probably didn't realize the screening was a special event part of a program that welcomes those affected by autism to gobble some popcorn, slurp a pop and enjoy the show. The screening was the latest installment in the AMC theater chain's Sensory Friendly Screenings. Audience members are invited to roam the aisles, dance, sing and talk out loud.
