    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Pablosh says his mom 'egged me on' to record this video, in which he poses as a Civil War union colonel, German pilot and 'summer terrorist.' He finds social communication to be the hardest part of having autism, but he maintains a sense of humor. 'I can communicate with my teachers and other grown ups better than other kids my age. This of course hurts my chances of getting a date, but all is well at the moment.'
    - dsashin, CNN iReport producer

    Pablo is 15 years old. He was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome when he was 3. Since then he's made enormous progress thanks to special Ed services in the public education system, here in NY. He was in a 12 to 1 classroom until middle school, when he started to be mainstreamed, and is now in an honors class in High school.
