Boy Scouts, Baseball, Video Games and Autism


TOWAMENCIN, Pa. — Every morning before school, Peter Jaskiewicz gets up early and checks his YouTube channel, to see if anybody new has viewed or commented on the more than 270 videos he's posted online.
"I just want to see if people have watched my videos, or see what they have to say," said Peter.
For any other 12-year-old, that might not be such a big deal, but Peter is not just any other sixth-grader — he's a Boy Scout, baseball player, math whiz, expert on several video game systems, and just so happens to be on the autism spectrum, too.
