Phillip Proctor, an 8-year-old with Asperger's Syndrome, asked his friends to send him donations for Kids on the Block, a puppet troupe in Kentucky, in lieu of gifts for his birthday last month. He did this because the storage area where Kids on the Block keep their puppets needed a new air conditioner. Phillip was able to raise $300.
When asked about his favorite puppet, Phillip replied that it was David who has autism. Kids on the Block has 20 programs that deal with many topics including autism. They held a special ceremony for Philip when he presented his check to them.
Bravo, Phillip!
