Chris and Lindsay Lubick’s son Jack is a nine-year-old with an extreme form of autism. He has not yet learned to speak, and wears earplugs to quiet sensory overload.

Despite these daily challenges, it’s evident to his parents that Jack enjoys soccer. It’s what he wants to do when he attends his sister’s games for the Clarence Soccer Club (CSC) in New York, the United States.
