Even if we told you that Keir's dreams were: to play professional soccer, to meet a FIFA star (Neymar, Ronaldo and Messi are his faves), and to have a girlfriend—you might not realize how different Keir is from the other kids on the field today.
See, Keir is autistic. And, at age 12, this is his very first year in any organized sport club. It has taken almost six years to get to the stage where he can participate successfully in this environment.
His mom, Michelle, remembers the struggles of placing Keir in city summer camps in past years: "He always loved soccer," she tells PTBOCanada, "but it has not always been easy for Keir to find his way through the physical and the social obstacles, in a good game of soccer!"
