Spotted on Not Always Right:

(I am shelving DVDs in a library when a man comes in with a boy who appears to be autistic. The boy sees a movie about Thanksgiving)

Boy: “Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving! I’m thankful… I’m thankful for… I’m thankful for my friends at school!”

Caretaker: “You’re thankful for your friends at school?”

Boy: “Yeah! Yeah and… and… what are you thankful for? Are you thankful for your friends?”

Caretaker: *no response*

Boy: “Are you thankful for me?”

Caretaker: “I’m thankful for you, kid. I’m more thankful for you than all my friends in the world.”

Boy: *smiles*

Excuse me, I have something in my eye. I believe it's the Caribbean. *wibble*

I'm such a sap. This made me tear up.

My son is undergoing diagnostics to find out if is in the spectrum and just... I'm very thankful for him, too.

Thanks for sharing this. :-)
