The autistic boy’s mother, Marcy Bissonnette, posted the following content on her Facebook page:
I’m so proud of you and your team Dylan. You made a real difference in the life of a fellow student. When I saw the news video I cried.
You are a good example of the difference that can be made with an act of kindness. Glad that the news stations thought it was news worthy. Teens do make a good impact on the world. Love and Peace, Aunt Dianna
