Bridgend, South Wales - Daddy Robert Davies went to Argos earlier this week with his daughter Cerys Lily, 8. Robert did not expect something overwhelming will happen after Cerys Lily's meltdown when she failed to get her Dory lunchbox. Cerys has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) since she was three.
Based on Robert's post on facebook, he was thankful of the two officers who proved to him that there are still such good people in the world. The story started when the single dad and his daughter Cerys Lily were inside the Argos to get a bedside lamp.
The daughter picked up a Dory lunchbox and so Dad brought it to the counter but a girl said it is not for sale until the next day. Cerys Lily got so upset and was in full meltdown, getting more and more aggressive.
Dad needed to bring her out the Argos and then inside the car and it was not very easy to do that. When they got home, some police officers turned up to the house because of a report about putting a child in car against her will.
Robert explained what happened and so the issue was cleared. The officers had a laugh with Cerys lily and put their police car's siren on for her with their flashlights on her as well. The next day, Robert got so overwhelmed by the gesture that the two police officers did. Cerys Lily got her desired Dory lunchbox from the officers who just came from Argos.
People with ASD usually see the world differently as we do. Thus they need our understanding and careful considerations of their emotional, physical, and psychological needs. They have some challenging behaviors that are needed to be understood. Parents like Robert got a task that is very special and tiring on the other hand. It will be a great relief for someone like him to see people understand and love his daughter as he does.
