Every parent wonders what their children's future is going to be like. Every parent of a special-needs child wonders about it even more, and often with angst.

Well, here's a story with a good ending. (hat tip to Judith at Autismville for finding this.)

Randy Lewis, a senior executive at Walgreens, has a son with autism, and knows not only that his son is capable of more than most people give him credit for, but that he will have a very hard time finding opportunities to prove it. Randy was able to use his position to tear down barriers, and to give people a chance to do some real work.
