Loved this interview with Mikey Brannigan and his parents after he won a gold medal at the Paralympics in the 1500 metres T20 class. Five seconds ahead of the competition!
His dad talking about how Mikey was so speedy, but couldn’t get his head around what was expected of him by the rules of soccer, and subsequently finding his element in running is fantastic. I hope Jake is the same. The sporting gene line from both his grandads has got to strike somewhere, surely…
(I’ve reservations about the news story’s text ‘suffers from autism’, as that’s definitely not our experience with Jake, but that’s another story).
