Autistic boy gets a heartwarming birthday surprise

Meet Glenn Buratti. He’s six years old and he suffers from autism.

Recently, Glenn celebrated his birthday. His mother invited his entire class of 16 to come join Glenn on his special day.

Unfortunately, not one of the party guests showed up to celebrate Glenn's special day.

Glenn's mum took to Facebook and posted the following: "My heart aches for my son. We invited his whole class, and they just ignored us."

Luckily for Glenn, his community wouldn't let this little boy's big day be spoiled!

Soon after his mother posted on Facebook, members of the community came to greet the little guy a happy birthday!
