Pokémon GO is bringing people together in amazing ways, and one of the most incredible stories to come out in the short time since the ARevolution began is the story of NYC’s own Ralph Koppelman.

Six-year-old Ralphie loves to draw, and he’s well on his way to becoming a Pokémon master.

But when it comes to breaking from a pre-set routine, Ralphie, who was diagnosed with autism and hyperlexia (a fascination with numbers and letters) at two years old, has a hard time – especially when he’s in the outside world.
