Grandville Teen With Autism Helps Raise Money For Prom

Allan Milton has autism and is a senior at Grandville High School. He spends his lunch period making drawings of his classmates and taking donations to help buy his ticket to the dance.

But he didn't stop there.

Allan has helped pay for tickets for all of the other kids with autism as well as their tuxedo rentals.

His teacher Dan Jakubowski said,"He loved to doodle, and he loved to draw on the board, and we noticed it was pretty good we thought, 'This is great,' and whenever we had kids come into the room -- because we have some general education kids come in our room and help out -- he would draw them, and the kids were just ecstatic. They just loved it."

From there, they came up with the idea to take donations for his drawings to help Allan go to prom. He raised the needed $40 in no time, so he helped buy tickets for the four other guys in his class and rent their tuxedos.
