| Jason "J-Mac" McElwain |
Ontario ARC is sponsoring a
free autism symposium featuring Jason "J-Mac" McElwain -- a young man with autism who is most famous for his 2006 game at Athena-Greece High School, where he scored 20 points in less than three minutes. J-Mac and his father, David, will speak about the game that changed everything and life with autism. J-Mac will also be available to sign copies of his autobiography,
The Game of My Life: A True Story of Challenge, Triumph, and Life with Autism. In addition, a panel of local experts -- including our own Maggi Sullivan, the agency's autism coordinator -- will discuss autism spectrum disorders and host a question and answer session.
The event is a part of the Geneva Reads project -- a series of community events based around books to promote literacy in the community. This series revolves around
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.
