自闭症孩子未获心仪玩具哭闹不止 好心人温暖相助
Ashley Fox was shopping at Walmart Sunday with her son Norris, 3, who was diagnosed in January with autism (自闭症). Norris picked out a stuffed puppy (毛绒玩具小狗) at the store, but rang up to cost more than Fox expected, so she put it back.
"That's when Norris just had a meltdown. I rushed out of Walmart as fast as I could, you know, obviously he was screaming and crying and I looked like I was, you know, kidnapping my own child like it was, it was it was bad," said Fox.
She said she was struggling to get Norris into his car seat when a woman came up to her with the stuffed puppy that her son had wanted in the store. "The lady comes up behind me and she pulls this puppy out, and she says, 'is this what he was wanting?' and I said, 'oh my god yes it is,' and I hand it to him and he just calmed down, I'm able to buckle up. And it was, it was, it was great. I thanked her and I offered to pay for this puppy but she wouldn't let me. She said that she understood that because she has kids. I just really want her to know that, like, it made his night and made his day, like as you can see, he won't put it down. He is obsessed with it. He loves it. And I just think it was a really beautiful thing that she did," said Fox.
She posted on Facebook that Norris and the puppy are not able to be separated. Thousands of people have liked the post and hundreds have commented about the act of kindness.
