My twin brother Jacob has an Autism Spectrum Disorder
I remember one moment after being at school all day
And I remember him getting into the car just balling...
And saying: "Mom, I have no friends" "Why don't I have any friends?"
It broke my heart.

♪Brother let me be your shelter♪
♪Never leave you all alone♪
That was the moment when I realized that I needed
to do something about this.
I needed to make a difference in his life.
GO!
And I knew that if I could help him find a friend,
I could help teach other people that including people
with differences is the right thing to do.

♪Brother let me be your shelter♪
That was the inspiration behind my non-profit "Score A Friend"
Educating people to include the people with differences
is so important because when Jacob's included
he feels like he can succeed in life
and he feels like he actually has a purpose.
