An El Paso teen with autism is being celebrated for his artistic contributions to a new children’s book. Fifteen-year-old Jacob Torres, a student at Eastlake High School, illustrated “What Does Mateo Want to Play?” by Alicia Luna. Speaking to KFOX14/CBS4, Jacob recounted the moment he was asked to join the project by Luna, who had approached him about the opportunity at a local Applebee’s.
