Everyone has had some interactions with people who have autism. A few years ago I had an older neighbor who lived alone and after breaking her arm, was unable to do lawn maintenance. I was a nice guy and mowed her small lawn while I was doing my own. She didn’t even ask, I just noticed it was higher than she normally let it grow and had seen the cast on her arm.
The 2nd week of mowing her lawn, she came out with a glass of lemonade and thanked me for doing this for her. She told me that she was too shy to ask anyone for help. I happily accepted the refreshment and honestly told her that I didn’t mind mowing her lawn since it wasn’t that much more than my own and I needed the exercise. She offered to pay me but knowing that she was most likely on a fixed income, I declined and told her I was happy to do it for as long as she needed it taken care of.
