It’s me in the blue shirt. The young lad isn’t autistic, he has Down’s syndrome. I’m also not his dad, although I’d be proud to be. This left me with tears in my eyes for a few evenings.
That's Ibrahim, the young lad I work with. He doesn't have autism, but Downs Syndrome. He's an awesome kid, I'm not his father although I'd be proud to be. I'm his Uncle Mike. Great soldier made our day. I nearly shat myself when he stepped closer to us.
Thanks very much! It's me with Ibrahim. This was such a special day for us, the best day we had together this year. Ibrahim is delighted with all the attention and loved seeing the Blues and Royals.
