Imagine having a child who’s finally making friends, but then being told they can’t be friends because of a disability. That’s what happened when Jack, a quiet and autistic 10-year-old, met James, a deaf boy, at the playground. The two boys became fast friends, with Jack even learning sign language to communicate with James. However, when Jack’s mom suggested a playdate at the aquarium, James’ mom had a shocking response.

Despite James’ mom’s attempt to limit her son’s friendships, Jack’s mom stood up for the boys’ bond. She made it clear that James would need to learn to navigate the world with all sorts of friends, regardless of his disability. In the end, the boys’ excitement for their aquarium playdate couldn’t be dampened, and their friendship continues to grow. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
