From wrecked to blessed: Mom explains tow truck's inspiring message
For Adrian Martinez, it's sometimes difficult to carry on a social conversation, especially if he does not know you.
But when you talk about his two favorite things -- the Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Lakers -- his face lights up and the words flow like the follow-through on a Kobe Bryant jump shot.
"Kobe Bryant is my favorite player," Adrian said. "I like Michael Vick, too. He's a really good quarterback."
Adrian, a 15-year-old freshman at Canutillo High School, does not shy away from his admiration of the Philadelphia Eagles.
His room is painted midnight green in honor of his favorite NFL team. The walls are dotted with Eagles pendants, clocks and posters.
Like her son, Lilly Davila is not afraid to show her love for the things dear to her heart.
"I'm very proud to have an autistic child," Lilly Davila said of Adrian. "I feel totally blessed to call myself his mother."
Lilly Davila does not hide the fact that Adrian has autism. Matter of fact, Davila and her husband Luis have painted the autism awareness decal on the hood of the tow truck they own to raise awareness.
"We did it because not a lot of people understand what autism is," she said. "I get a lot of calls from people who say how proud they are because we have the autism awareness sticker on the truck. Sometimes they stop our drivers and tell them thank you for promoting autism awareness."
