Football player's picture with autistic boy goes viral

A college football star is being praised for his kindness off the field. A photo showing Florida State wide receiver Travis Rudolph eating lunch with Bo Paske -- who often sits by himself -- has become a social media sensation. Mark Strassmann went to Tallahassee to find out what brought the pair together.

They’re getting paid to teach. Also many teachers just don’t want to risk being annoying or they don’t even go to the cafeteria

[@een4964]

Growing as an autistic child, I had trouble making friends. And often at playtime I would be on the playground alone. When I was younger I used to be angry at the teachers for not doing anything but as I grew up, I learned to let it go. I'm not even sure how they could have helped me to be honest, if I sat inside during those times it only would have singled me out further and teachers aren't allowed to be alone with students 🤷🏼‍♀️

This immediately brought tears to my eyes remind me of when I was in the tenth grade and I walked in the lunchroom with my sister and 2 friends thinking where was we going to sit. I saw young ladies sitting by herself in the corner of a table. Immediately I told my sister and friends will sit next to her .. we went to the table and ask her if it ok if we sit with you? she looked up and said sure. As we got to know her and she got to us she was the funniest sweetest person you'll ever meet Michelle was her name. I always teach my children if you see someone by their self in school it's okay to talk to them it's okay to sit with them. Never bully someone/ make fun of them. And if the friends your hanging with decide to do it you make sure you put them in check do not condone to it lt, let the teachers know, report them.I teach my children to love all race/ everyone with disability. ❤💯

It wasn’t until the end of that class my very last highschool class ever did I find out doctors said he would probably wouldn’t make it to the end of the year. I recently heard he passed away after his long fight in surgery. Even if no one else cares I still wanna say you will be missed Jeremiah and I hope the good lord is there to greet you at the door.

When I used to go clubbing with my friends. They would reject the not so good looking guys. I hated seeing that so much. So I would see that, and sneak away and would end up dancing with them. They would find me and join. I would tell them, you go out to a club to dance and have a good time. Dancing with the guys that aren’t good looking isn’t gonna take anything away from them. It’s just a dance for crying out loud. Another thing I did, was go to prom with a co workers cousin. Because he asked a girl out, and she ditched him that week because she was gonna go to an unexpected family vacation. Surprise, surprise, I was able to get a dress, get a hair appointment etc. In less than a week, only to show up to see that girl with someone else. Her mouth dropped because she didn’t expect to see him with someone else. And not to brag, but his whole group of friends said I was way better looking than her. It felt so good to walk in with him and have a good time. I will never let anyone around me feel left out if I am able to help in any situation.
