Autistic Edinburgh schoolboy 'blown away' after train of supercars take him to prom

An Edinburgh schoolboy was left 'completely overwhelmed' after a convoy of local car enthusiasts and their supercars arrived outside his house to take him to prom.

Jaimé Flockhart, 12, was diagnosed with Klinefelter Syndrome at just four years old, an extra chromosome condition which affects a number of aspects of his life, as well as being told he had autism a year later.

A naturally "quiet and shy" young boy, Jaimé's mum Sharon, 46, told Edinburgh Live that he had often found school difficult due to the large crowds, as well as trying to cope with conditions such as dyslexia and dyspraxia.
