James' Train

James who has Asperger's syndrom at eight years old badly wanted The Emerald Night Train from lego. When his parent's found out it was $100 and for kids ages 11 and up they decided he could get the set if he saved up his own money. After two years, James had finally saved up enough money to purchase the set. He looked for it, and was devastated to find out that lego had stopped producing the product. He and his parents looked online, but the only ones they could find were $200. James' parents feared that the sets might be missing pieces, but were determined to get him the set, even if they had to buy it piece by piece. Meanwhile, James wrote a letter to lego explaining his situation. At first, all he received was an apology letter, this was hard for James to take in. Right before James' birthday a package, addressed to him, arrived in the mail. It was The Emerald Night Train.
