Portland HS student gets special day in homecoming spotlight

PORTLAND, Mich. (WOOD) — For Noah Spedoske, being the center of attention is not something he is accustomed to.

On Friday, he was the Portland High School’s junior class representative in this year’s homecoming.

“Everyday is a struggle, it really is. The anxiety really is hard for him to deal with and he gets very overwhelmed easy, actually loud noises are very overwhelming and that’s why I was a little worried about this,” Noah Spedoske’s mother, Amy Spedoske said.

Noah Spedoske lives with Williams Syndrome, a developmental disorder. It’s not a condition that he lets get him down.

His mother and father say despite his anxiety and other symptoms of the syndrome, he loves to meet others.

“Socially he is a rockstar, everybody loves him, everybody knows him,” Amy Spedoske said.
