Classmates back autistic boy for homecoming prince
Mark Fitzpatrick is a sophomore at Tesoro High School. He is autistic and mentally disabled, and loves the social scene at school. Since he gets along so well with everyone, his friend Kylie Leggett thought he would be the perfect Homecoming Prince. After getting permission from his mother, Kylie nominated Mark and started a Facebook group urging their classmates to vote Mark for Homecoming Prince.
Last Wednesday, both Kylie and Mark were called out of class and told they had been voted prince and princess. Now when they see each other in the hall, Mark calls her Princess Kylie and himself Prince Mark.
“He’s like freaking out,” Kylie says. “He’s getting really excited. It’s like so cute.”
