This story made me cry my eyes out as a parent of a non-verbal child. A grocery store employee named Jordan decided to let an autistic child to let him help stocking the shelves, cheering him on as he did it. I know this is just an internet clip, but I saw that as my child when I heard this story. My child, getting help from someone clocked in, stocking those shelves just because he likes doing it. There's even a clip of the man giving Jack the opportunity just saying "I was just being myself" when responding to just how much people loved him for this action. You can see the moment he changes how he sees himself when he starts crying saying that all he had even done was be himself. I can only pray that my child will meet someone this kind in the grocery store when he inevitably thinks it's interesting to stack matching things in a line. Jack didn't even have to say a word and was accepted.

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously use an alt for this comm or keep it vague, otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.

  2. No antinatalism struggle sessions
