Space is The Place!
Came across a really lovely Autie story on the BBC News website today concerning eight-year-old Hayden Geraghty from Limavady, County Londonderry.
It seems that he had limited speech until the day Tim Peake was launched into space in 2015.
Hayden began to count down to the rocket's take-off and since then his speech has been improving.
And if that's not enough to celebrate his love of all things space a company in Donegal - Lottie Dolls - have made a doll called Finn based on him.
A Lottie Dolls spokesman said that their latest figure was created to emphasize that "childhood should be an inclusive place, where every child belongs regardless of gender, ethnicity or ability".
The doll also comes with ear defenders and an assistance puppy with a blue bandana to signal that the dog has been trained to support an autistic person.
