Bullied Boy with Autism Surprised After Internet Responds with Kindness

The world can be and often is a cold, lonely and dark place. A bullied teenager with Autism experienced some of the good that does exist in our world.

Carson Thomson, 13, who has Autism, was accosted and beaten up by a couple of bullies after exiting the school bus. Carson suffered a broken arm as a result of the assault. 

The offense Carson committed that brought about such treatment? Carson was chewing gum, blew a bubble and it popped all over his face, according to CBSNews. 

After learning about the incident that left Carson with a broken arm and hurt feelings, reporter David Begnaud put the word out on social media looking for video game companies to help show Carson kindness and compassion. 

“The world can be an incredibly generous place. I put out a call on social media, looking for video game designers who jumped in quickly to help us make Carson feel special,” David said. 

David, Carson’s mother and the team at Six Foot Studios worked together to surprise the teen with an up-close look at how video games are put together. 

Carson, as the video shows, is all about video games. When he’s not in his room playing them, he’s walking around thinking through a storyline for a potential game. Young Carson hopes to create them when he grows up. 

“Video games are the highest form of art. You got art and music. In the future, I want to make games. Like, I’ve got a lot of ideas,” Carson said.

On the day of his surprise visit to Six Foot Studios in Austin, Texas, checked out the studio, interacted with the staff and even played around with some of the studio’s design equipment.

To say Carson was floored and motivated by the surprise, would be an understatement.

“Today was awesome. I’m pretty inspired. I think that I am going to make the best game ever created,” Carson said.
