Sonja Redding and her1were on their way home to Omaha, Nebraska after a weeklong visit to Washington D. C., with her two sons, one of whom, 5-year-old Xayvior, has autism (自闭症).
Although all of the other2had gone fine, Xayvior became angry during one of the flights, and Redding couldn't3him.
"It felt like everyone on the plane was looking at us and got4with my son,” She wrote in a Facebook post after she got home. "I don't know what to do when others just don't5that he is not just a child with no6, but a child with special needs who doesn't know how to7himself."
The day was8by Delta flight attendant Amanda Amburgy. She tried to help Xayvior watch a movie, but when that failed, she offered to take him on a9of the airplane. That worked, and soon the child was not only calm, but10a good time.
"When they came back, Xayvior was much calmer and happier," wrote Redding in the11, which now has 2,700 likes and over 500 shares. "I want to thank this Delta attendant. She didn't judge, and she just showed12We need more people like this in the world. ”
It wasn't long13Amburgy was told about the post." We're14to help, and that's what we want to do, ” she said in an interview. " So, we always want to make anything15for the family as well as other16".
She also shared what she felt when she read Redding's story. "When I read it, it17my heart. It's18I would do for anyone on the plane, because that's what I am here for. It really made a19in her life."
As is often the case, it is not what you say but what you do that counts when you see people in20.
