This Autistic Boy Grabbed My Vest And Screamed But I Never Met This Kid Before
I’m sixty-eight years old. I’ve got more scars than teeth and a face that makes children cross the street. So when this kid latched onto my vest in the McDonald’s parking lot, I figured I’d done something to scare him.
But he wasn’t scared. He was desperate.
His mother was sobbing, trying to pull his hands away. “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. He’s never done this before. I can call the police if you want.”
