| Abstract | In this interview, disabilities activist and commissioner of the Alternative Baseball Organization (ABO) Taylor Duncan relates his life as a student with autism and other special needs. He goes into stigmas that he had to overcome in school as he tried to participate in regular baseball activities. Encouraged by a coach to not give up and pursue his love for America's favorite pastime, Duncan's passion for the game eventually resulted in the foundation of the ABO, a nonprofit that has received wide attention throughout the United States. Duncan points out how baseball can provide everyone with opportunities to participate, build team-working skills, and practice perseverance. Finally, he stresses the importance to empowering people with special needs and providing them with chances to showcase themselves as mature and full-fledged members of society. (As Provided). |
