The touching gesture of an American football player with a child with autism: a true hero

Bo Paske is an 11-year-old boy with autism who lives in Tallahassee (Florida, United States) and usually eats only at the Montford high school he attends. But on Tuesday he did not eat alone. He received, by surprise, a very special visit.

Travis Rudolph, American football player from Florida State University (FSU), he had the moving gesture of eating with him. Someone captured that moment and the photo has gone viral on social networks.

Bo was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old, and although he has friends at school who take care of him and protect him, according to the mother, half of the time he prefers to eat alone.

Last Tuesday, within a program promoted by the FSU in which members of the soccer team visit schools in the area, Travis went to Bo's school, and seeing him sitting alone in the cafeteria at lunchtime decided to sit with him.

"I don't know what led this incredibly kind man to share lunchtime with my son, but I'm happy to say that his gesture will not be forgotten. This has been a day when I didn't have to worry about if my child was eating alone because he was sitting in front of someone who for many is a hero. "

A beautiful gesture by a player that we may not know around the world for his sporting merits, but that has become a true hero For your generosity.
