It's amazing to see Landon's eye contact when talking with Michelle. That's one big step getting out of his shell.

Why fit in when you are born to stand out, be unique. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@StijnHommes]

Everyone is different.

[@pauljordan4452]

I'm autistic and non conformism wasn't tolerated in high school.

[@ravicharles5192]

In some countries garbage collectors are treated like garbage. It's laudable parents of this boy let this befriend and bring acknowledgement mutually.

[@stargazeronesixseven]

🙏 This is so wholesome , special & comforting to watch because of a little respect , understanding & kindness really make this special need boy slowly breaking out of his autistic shell to communicate with someone that brought excitement & joy in his everyday life! 🕯🌷🌿🌍💜🕊

Yes, just attention....not too much. This is the medicine that they need.

[@LWWM]

That we all need

[@rileygarraway936]

That's a beautiful story

[@elmifriends7319]

That is how true friendships are started and develop from there. They learn respect for each other. Stop pushing people on each other with a threat if they don't comply being racist or etc etc

[@Kanonfangirl]

This is adorable

[@Catlady77777]

Apparently sanitation workers are in a unique position to befriend kids from all walks of life...very heartwarming!

[@chavandelacalle3190]

1:56 “you didn’t tip over the garbage cans” 2:13 tipped over garbage can

[@QuitDragoon]

(I am not saying u are blind) if u see very close that can was green and she pickup blue

[@chavandelacalle3190]

QuitDragoon1093 good eye didn’t catch that 👍🏻

[@hallmarkaddict8455]

Which is probably why Landon only likes the garbage woman because the recycle guy tipped over the can 🤣speaking of, I have to get my garbage out today for tomorrow 😂😂

[@yaboydudurdur]

See props to the women bcause that isnt her job description but it is awesome

[@baskervillebee6097]

[@rh1641]

1:56 "she doesn't tip over the cans".....2:14

[@hallmarkaddict8455]

She didnt tip over the garbage can. If you notice the can that was tipped over was blue and that is recycle and green is garbage which is what she picks up to be technical which is probably why he doesnt like the recycle man, and only the garage man(woman)

[@krugerfuchs]

Diagnosed as autistic not with autism

[@dewalt4594]

Oh Brandon will be just fine . He definitely knows how to pick em. She is a cutie pie an a very nice lady . Thanks for the story
