Mum's fury after McDonald's 'refuse' to sell her burger bun for autistic son

A furious mum has slammed "uncaring" McDonald's staff after claiming they refused to sell her a 40p bun for her autistic son. Sara Clark was forced to pay full price for the burger instead - even though her son Corey only wanted the bread, Birmingham Live reports.

The eight-year-old has a severe eating disorder as well as autism and ADHD. Because of this, the youngster is "afraid of food" and would starve himself rather than eat food he did not want, his mum says.

The bread from the fast food chain one of just a few things that Corey will eat, with Sara usually able to buy the bun separately for the 40p price of a sauce pot. However, on their latest trip, she had no choice but to buy the youngster two burgers - with the rest of the ingredients ending up in the bin.
