Autism doesn't slow down North Central College's star placekicker

Quote:
Liam Crotty said his teammates haven't treated him any differently since he told them about his autism.

Crotty, a placekicker for the North Central College football team, told the North Cook News that his teammates and coaches expect him simply to be a good teammate and to play the role he has been given.

“They understand, they accept it, and life has been going well since,” Crotty said.
