It was a bitter winter night in New Yorkcold enough to keep most people indoors. But outside the Elwain home, someone was bouncing a ball repeatedly against the aspha
30、lt, totally ignoring the frigid air. It was Jason, a tall teenager, dressed lightly against the February chill, doing what he loved most: shooting hoops. No matter the weather, Jason practiced basketball, if not at home, then at his high school, Greece Athena.B. As a junior, he tried out for college
31、 team, but Jason is autistic (孤独症的), and lacking the fine coordination and strength of the other players, he didnt make it. He practiced harder and tried out again as a senior, only to be met with the same disheartening result. But because Jasons passion for basketball was so intense, the coach foun
32、d a way for him to stay in the gameas the Trojans team manager. It was Jasons job to hand out water and offer his teammates major doses of moral support.C. The Trojans enjoyed a solid season, playing 17 games and coming away with 12 victorieswhich was why, for their final home game, coach Jim asked
33、his popular manager to suit up. As a surprise to Jason, he planned to let him play. With just four minutes left on the clock and the Trojans with a comfortable lead, Johnson called number 52 onto the court.D. A stunned Jason had his first shot badly, and he missed again with the second. Then suddenl
34、y, the 17-year-old made a clean hoop shot. He kept shooting, one basket after another, until hed scored six three-pointers and one two-pointer for a total of 20 points. Applause filled the gymnasium as members of the crowd surged forward to lift Jason onto their shoulders. Coach Jim actually wept, a
35、nd Jasons classmates waved signs with the boys face on them, screaming, “Jason, Jason.“ The kid who lived for basketball but was never picked for the team was suddenly the most unexpected streak shooter in high school hoops history.E. Jason became an instant celebrity, winning headlines across the c
36、ountry. Highlights of his streak were shown repeatedly on TV news and ESPN. Movie offers poured in from Hollywood studios, and last July, Jason won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in sports. “Though I knew it wasnt going to be me, I never thought Jason would be the one in our family to become famous,
37、“ his dad, David, a sales tax audit manager, says with a laugh. But Jasons feat on the basketball court was hardly the first dramatic moment in his life.F. The younger of two boys born to David and Debbie Elwain, Jason seemed a normal infant. Then, when he was six months old, everything changed. Jas
38、on became rigid if held; he soon stopped making eye contact and was completely unresponsive when he was rocked. “I knew something was wrong,“ says Debbie, a dentist. Though her husband and other relatives told her not to worry, Debbie couldnt avoid comparing Jasons development with that of his broth
39、er, Josh, older by 18 months. “Josh talked a lot at age two,“ she says. “At the same age, Jason just sat in a corner and played with his fingers.“G. David and Debbie, fearing the worst, took Jason to Strong Childrens Hospital in Rochester for a complete evaluation. There, doctors diagnosed the boy w
40、ith severe autism. Affecting some 1.5 million Americans, autism is the countrys fastest-growing developmental disability, although scientists do not know why. Jason also suffers from learning disabilities and has an IQ of 70.H. Debbie, who became her sons personal warrior, says, “I was determined to
41、 get him out of it.“ Having discovered that with early intervention, there is a chance a severely autistic child can become high functioning, she enrolled Jason, at age three, in an intensive special education program. She also worked to keep him stimulated at home and talked to him ceaselessly. Whe
42、n he wouldnt eat or drink, shed flick the lights to distract him, then slip food into his open mouth. She made sure the only toys Jason received were the interactive kind.I. Like many autistic children, Jason was prone to violent behaviors. Hed run screaming around the house. All his parents could d
43、o was grab him and hold him tight. In trying to restrain her son, Debbie sometimes got hurt. Once, Jason gave her a black eye; another time, he dislocated her shoulder. “Id do anything to stop him from hurting himself,“ says Debbie, “but it was exhausting. The outbursts could last a half-hour.“ Stil
44、l, she says, “you just keep going and try not to despair.“J. And whatever Josh did, Jason tried to do too. “Usually at my insistence,“ says Josh, who has always been protective of his little brother. The boys learned to play golf together. When Josh, now an outgoing and strong 19-year-old, became a
45、lifeguard, Jason took lessons. When Josh took up the violin, Jason decided to play an instrument. In their neighborhood, Josh stood up for his brother when kids teased Jason or tried to make him do foolish things. When a student at school stole Jasons birthday money, Josh got it back. One downside t
46、o the brothers close relationship: It was tough for Jason to say goodbye when Josh headed to college two years ago.K. Change can be extremely hard for the autistic, who typically finds comfort in routine. “Jason is very superstitious,“ explains Debbie. “Before basketball games, he insists that his s
47、upper consist of chicken soup, peaches, apple sauce and a glass of milkor his team will lose. And he has to wear the same black pants, white shirt and shoes courtside.“ Those shoes no longer fit the night of the last game, but Jason wore them anywayand ended up with blisters.L. Today, Jason, now 18,
48、 has learned to control his autistic humming in public. And when the urge to flap his arms comes, he thrusts his hands deep into his pockets. He has not outgrown his difficulty in making eye contact, but unlike some people with autism, hes very social.M. Jasons immediate response to his streak-shooting performance was pragmatic. “It was great to achieve this before finishing high school.“ He says. And his good fo
