Thread: FSU player Travis Rudolph sits with sixth-grader with autism eating lunch alone

Leah Paske’s heart sinks a little bit every time her sixth grade son tells her he ate lunch alone again.

The young boy with autism doesn’t seem to notice or care, but that doesn’t stop his hopeful mother from asking him after school if things were different today -- if he finally found someone to sit with.

“Sometimes the answer is a classmate, but most days it’s nobody,” the mom wrote in a viral Facebook post with more than 7,000 shares. “Those are the days I feel sad for him.”

But on Tuesday, Bo’s mom cried tears of joy when she found out her son didn’t spend another lunch alone. He spent it with Florida State wide receiver Travis Rudolph.
