There’s a reason why 11-year-old Mason Allan has a face filled with excitement.
Mason’s mother sent out 12 invitations but the friends he invited did not show up.
“The night before, I was a mess because he was having a break down. Nobody is coming. I should just cancel,” said Mason’s mother Danielle Thomas.
That’s when Mason decided to hand deliver an invitation to the local fire department hoping they would come.
“At one point he remembers talking to the firemen and them saying ‘We are always your friends,'” Danielle said.
Mason struggles daily with moderate autism spectrum disorder, which includes social, communication, and behavioral challenges.
