A mother, who has a son with autism, was touched by the kindness of a stranger after her son had a meltdown at a local restaurant.

Cynthia Tipton, from Rock Hill, Missouri in the US was dining at�Bandana’s Bar-B-Q with her family last week when her 10-year-old son, Noland had a meltdown after being teased by his sister.

In a post to Facebook, Ms Tipton said she tried to comfort Noland who was already screaming and crying. She whispered, “It’s okay, buddy. Let’s calm down. Let’s be a little quieter. You’re safe”, and after a few minutes, her son calmed down.

Suddenly, a waitress approached her. At first, she said she thought that a fellow customer had complained, then the waitress handed�her the bill, telling her their meal has already been paid entirely by another family. What’s more overwhelming was the note that was written in the bill that�reads:

“Hi! We couldn’t help but notice what a great mother you are and what a beautiful family you have. God bless.”

Ms Tipton told WCNC�how thankful she is for the strangers’ act of kindness, saying she was “overwhelmed and humbled” by their thoughtfulness.

“Being a parent is tough.

“Being an�autism�parent is really tough.�This family didn’t even know our circumstances but yet were so compassionate.

“It just really touched us,” she said.
