Kerry and Robert Bloch’s only child, their 21-year-old son David, would only speak when prompted and was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of 4. On Oct. 30, 2019, David turned to his mother and formulated his first-ever question—a question that broke his mother’s heart.
Kerry, of Neptune Beach, Florida, took to Twitter to share the extraordinary moment. What happened next has been warming netizens’ hearts the world over after it was posted online. Thousands of people took to the social media site to comfort David and reassure him that he could consider them his friends.
