【解析】

一位密歇根男孩男孩说，他不想开11岁的生日聚会，因为他没有朋友。这周，科林和他的家人在餐馆里与 Kalamazoo Wings对的运动员和教练们见了面。科林说：“我知道我们要去餐馆，但其余的我并没有想到”。

球队给这个男孩提供了一份一日合同，允许他作为Kalamazoo Wings队的成员参加周天的主场比赛。科林拿到了属于他自己的球队线衣。科林既可以打冰球又可以跟球员们在休息区坐在一起。

科林跟其他人交流有障碍，这让他很难与同龄的孩子交朋友。高智商的儿童和成人经常会在社交上出现问题。他们对一些幽默难以理解。

因此，他母亲创建了一个“生日快乐 科林”的Facebook主页。这个主页赢得了超过200万的赞。科林的母亲说，能看科林的成长就是最好的回报。“我看到了他很大的改变，因为他知道了他有200万个朋友。他的自信也增长了不少。”
