Timothy is 12 years old and autistic. His journey began in 2013 when he attended the Philadelphia Eagles Huddle Up for Autism event. He became an Eagles fan for life. Just a few weeks later, he was assigned a new behavioral specialist who is also a football coach. He thought it would be a good experience for Timothy to play football. We spent months preparing him to be a part of the football team, and he is surpassing all of our expectations with his hard work, persistence, and dedication.
An Unforgettable and Undefeatable Season

Wrestling Statistician
This afternoon was the first Wilson West Wrestling (say that three times real fast!) informational meeting. Timothy is going to be a team statistician. Mr. Galan, his autistic support teacher, is one of the wrestling coaches. He tried to recruit Timothy to actually wrestle on the team, but Timothy wasn't quite willing to do that just yet. He did, however, agree to be a team statistician. He will go to all the practices, matches, and tournaments. I think it's great that Mr. Galan works to get his students involved in extra-curricular activities, and I am glad that Timothy has a chance to be a part of a new sport. :)
