ECHO readers have left heart warming messages after a boy who is usually ignored by people made a friend in a park.
Rebecca Green spoke to the ECHO about her son, Karne, being approached by a 10-year-old boy named Alistair at Folkestone Road Park in Southport last week. The mum-of-one took her seven-year-old son, who is autistic and non-verbal, to the park where she was shocked at the reaction of the stranger who approached him.
He walked over, introduced himself and even offered a high five to the quiet boy, with the 42-year-old saying something like that had never happened before. She said: "Karne finished on the roundabout in the park and Alistair came over and introduced himself. He must have realised he was non-verbal but he was still so nice. People just ignore him because he doesn't talk and because of the noises he makes.
