"Indiana Teens with Autism Crowned Homecoming King and Queen" was written February 14, 2014 by Nicole Weisensee Egan for People magazine. Two high school students in Indiana are crowned homecoming king and queen by their fellow classmates this year during the halftime of a basketball game. Seth Knox and Kelsey Roeser are both 18 and have autism. The student body president describes how great they are and how they are always up lifting.

I chose this article for one of the main reasons I have chosen others, it shows that students with disabilities still are human and can still take part in normal high school activities. Reading about these two people with autism and what their classmates did for them and voted them into the homecoming king and queen is very touching and inspiring. I love reading about good deeds that people do especially for people such as these who absolutely love being normal and loved. I'm hoping to use this in my paper to help stress how important it is to give these students the same opportunities as abled students.
