Taylor Duncan was tired of hearing it.
Diagnosed with moderate autism when he was just four years old, the Dallas, Ga. native had grown accustomed to being told he couldn’t do things. First it was in elementary school, when he tried to sign up for a local children's baseball team. Then it was in middle school, when he was denied an opportunity despite being eligible for a nearby youth program.
For as long as he could remember, all Duncan ever wanted to do was play baseball. And every year he tried, after every attempt he made, the answer was the same.
