Teens teach a boy with autism to skateboard on his birthday

The boy’s mother, Kristen Braconi, took him to a skate park in South Brunswick, New Jersey, for his fifth birthday last week. As Carter was riding his scooter, a group of older kids showed up and began to teach him how to use a mini skateboard.

They showed him how to balance on it, offered encouraging words and helped him up when he fell. Later they even sang him happy birthday.
