I was visiting my daughter while she was admitted during the summer and due to her having surgery I was going to have to care for my autistic grandson 24/7 for the next month at least. He was struggling with the situation and I couldn't get him out of the pharmacy, he was so fixated on candy bars that had fallen under the shelves. Most people just stared at him, but this nurse asked if she could help. I told her he was autistic and she calmly said, "it's okay my son is too" and she got on the floor with him to try and calm him down. At this point, he was screaming and kicking and I didn't know what to do, my daughter handles his condition better than I do. She tried talking and singing to him and it helped a little but he still wasn't going to leave the candy station. I tried to pick him up to carry him out, but he is just too heavy and was fighting too much. The nurse didn't want me to get hurt or my grandson so she offered to carry him out to the car. I wasn't able to do this myself so I agreed. She picked him up and cradled him the best she could while he was kicking and hitting. She talked calmly to him and sang softly to him even when she had to stop and put him down for a minute because he was getting hard to hold. She never got frustrated, just picked him back up still kicking and got him to the car, sat him in his seat and even buckled him is his seat. I thanked her and she smiled and hugged me and said just take one day at a time, it will get easier. Her name badge said, Debbie Lyles. I saw this thank a nurse box and thought of her.
