Autistic Boy Went on a Plane All By Himself With Just $10 And Happened to Sit Next To The Best Person
Alexa Bjornson was faced with a predicament. She had to send her 7-year-old son Landon Bjornson to visit his dad in Portland. Because he is a child with high-functioning autism, it was quite obvious that a flight would be a difficult situation, full of triggers and sensory overload. Because she didn't know what to do, and couldn't fly with him, she decided to give her son Landon a letter to hand to the person he was sitting next to. Luckily. it turned out really well.
