Watch this high schooler with autism score the touchdown of his life

Josh Padilla generally doesn't see any action on the field for West Leyden High School in Illinois. The high school senior, who has autism, is listed as a kicker and serves as a team captain, but he had never played a down in a varsity game -- that is, until Friday night.

West Leyden and opponent Proviso East cooperated on Josh's touchdown, although it came as a surprise to the crowd. Though it didn't count toward Leyden's 49-9 victory, the TD will no doubt be the most memorable moment of the game -- and possibly the whole season.
