"To sum up, let all be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil, or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing."        1 Peter 3:8,9                   

I have absolutely no idea BUT, I have seen similiar things happen countless times coaching special olympics softball and arranging scrimage games with regular teams in Nevada and Washington both.  Things are very different for special needs kids in the public schools compared to how they were when we were growing up.  Gone are the days of children with multiple dissabilities being segregated, they are now fully included if its safe for them and the other children.  Even the most severe have classrooms right along side of regular student classes and most get to spend sometime is a regular class like music or PE or Art.  Students are nowhere near as timid or afraid to be in contact with someone with disabilities as they where when you and I were growing up.  Maybe we are evolving as a human race after all???  I liked the story and I thought you would too. Its a great testament and learnign experience for children to be exposed to others with disablities at a very young age before preconcieved notions form and prejudices take root.

I never want you to think that I am pushing you or anyone else in any particular direction, its just fun for me to share ideas about the human spirit with others that i love.  Hug the kids for me.
