A child suffering from autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) was devastated that her school gave her a set of Ds in her report card. Sophie Jackson, according to her father, cried and said that she had let everyone down. Her father Shane Jackson, from Tasmania in Australia, however, saw her differently. The report card he gave his daughter, which he posted on Twitter, has gone viral, evoking an overwhelming response. Here's his tweet:

Thanks Shane. You just gave me the solution to my year 6 son's reports. So proud of him, at this moment he is on stage, in combined schools band. Band playing in a night of local High School school performing Arts.I drew the short straw, had to stay home and look after twins.
