Autistic Child Thanks the Kitten

One time I met a small autistic child at the vet and told him I'm autistic too. Then he asked if he could pet the kitten I had with me, and I said yes. When he was done petting her, his mom told him to say thanks, and he thanked the kitten. Did you tell the mom she can’t bring autistic children to the regular doctor? She doesn’t need to bring them to the vet.

A screenshot of a social media post tells a wholesome story about an autistic child thanking a kitten after petting her, followed by a comment pointing out the absurd interpretation that the child is being taken to the vet. The crying kitten image emphasizes the emotional and ridiculous punchline, making it useful as a reaction to something unbearably sad or absurd.
