Surfing and Autistic Children
UK's Guardian Observer has a lovingly crafted story about a man's autistic son finding happiness from surfing.

I start back to shore, thinking it's over and done with; Luke got his big ride and we can all go home now. This was a lovely idea and we'll definitely return - in August, when it's, you know, summer. But as he and Zuckerman reach the shallows Luke rolls off and stands up. 'More!' he orders, pointing to sea, and to my utter disbelief, out they paddle. For almost an hour they chase waves, catching several good ones all the way in. My heart is in my throat the entire time; this man, a complete stranger, has my child in his arms and has worked some ocean voodoo on his mood. Luke's lips turn blue, then his nose and brow, but damn it all, he's not leaving.
