Lynn Marie is the mother of an autistic son named James, who is nine years-old. Not only does he have autism, but he also has Down syndrome. Despite the fact that her son has disabilities, Lynn is trying her best to make sure that her son has as normal of a life as possible. James uses an iPad to communicate with other people, but when the iPad broke Lynn knew she had to buy her son a new one…
The two took a trip to an Apple Store in a local mall and while they were there James decided that he was going to run around for a bit. He promptly ran into a glass wall and hit his head. Lynn Marie rushed to her son’s side to see if he was okay. James had a bump on his head, but he was not seriously hurt. An Apple employee approached anyway, and something unexpected happened…
The employee asked Lynn Marie if there was anything that he could. Lynn Marie told the employee that she was on her way to the Apple Store to get a new iPad. She asked the employee if he would get the iPad and set it up on the floor for James. The employee agreed to set up the iPad. He also took a picture with James and Lynn Marie.
Lynn Marie shared this story on her Facebook page, and it quickly went viral. She appreciates the Apple Store employee because he could have just ignored her and her son, and also stated that some people become so focused on themselves and forget about others.
