My Boy Has Autism and an Officer's Reaction to His Meltdown During Rush Hour Left Me Speechless
I wanted to take a few minutes to share something incredible that happened today. This afternoon, I picked up Andrew from school/ABA and we got on the metro headed home. We ride the metro every day to and from school, so Andrew is used to it. It is usually about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on delays and whatnot, but as long I keep him occupied with his iPad or my phone, he will sit patiently in our seat.
For those of you that don’t know, when you have a child with autism, your child will have some good days and then they will have some bad ones. Today was one of those bad days. Andrew's biggest behavior problem is that sometimes when he gets upset, it will go two steps too far, and escalate into a full-on meltdown/breakdown.
Today, Andrew was persistent on wanting to get out of the seat to stand in the middle of train while moving and running back and forth through it . I kept trying everything to get him to sit, but he just wouldn’t .That is when his regular toddler tantrum turned into a meltdown, or what I call, the point of no return for him.He started rolling on the floor, screaming, his shoe fell off and he flung it across the train, all while I’m on the floor trying to calm him down with all the candy I had.
This officer COMPLETELY went out of his way to help Andrew. He honestly restored my faith that there are good people still left in the world. To that officer, I truly can not say thank you enough for your immeasurable amount of kindness and for making Andrew's day .
