| Directly behind Luke is one of his best friends, Audrey. |
He was the only child from his autism classroom that joined the concert, and we're very proud of how well he performed. He was a Native American and wore the 'bib' but refused to put on the head piece. I was seated too far away to get any video that shows him singing and doing the motions, but he joined in often. His favourite was fishing with the stick, line and paper fish that he got to carry for the entire show.
Throughout the show, he checked on Audrey, seeming to make sure that he was doing the same thing as her. The little girl behind Audrey, in black, cried through the entire show.
At one point, his costume fell off and he struggled to right it. His general education Kindergarten teacher, Mrs Harding, righted it for him. Thanks!
Towards the end, he was struggling to stay focused (he was not alone) but he remained in his place and didn't distract from the production. We're very proud of his ability to attend to things that don't necessarily interest him. What an important life skill!
