Story out of North Muskegon, Michigan:
After an afternoon of shopping with her son, one mom found a nasty note about his loud noises in her cart. Little did the anonymous author know — her son has autism.
She reached out to 24 Hour News 8 in hopes of educating people.
Six-year-old Granderson is an expert on everything fire alarms — makes, models and their noises. His mom, Brittany Miller, says he often imitates their noise when he sees one or as a coping mechanism if there’s a lot of other noise around him.
Like many people with autism, Granderson becomes passionate about something and focuses on learning as much as possible.
While shopping in Meijer Wednesday, Granderson was imitating a fire alarm.
Miller doesn’t believe he was being overly loud, but someone thought those sounds justified a note slipped into her cart that read, “Buy that kid a muzzle!!”
“I turn around and I’m talking to my son. I was helping him fix his shoe. I turn back around and there’s a note on top of my bags,” Miller explained.
Miller has no idea who wrote it, but wishes they had stopped to talk to her instead. Cont. (Video)
