Autistic Cub Scout Saves Art Teacher’s Life

Art teacher Sheri Lowe was alone in her Houston classroom with 10-year-old Kyle Forbes when she began choking on an apple. Kyle quickly ran to her rescue and administered the Heimlich Maneuver, a technique he learned in Cub Scouts. “I knew what to do immediately!” says the enthusiastic young man.

As a child with autism, Kyle is used to feeling like an outsider, but this experience has transformed him into a hero: “I was like a superhero and everybody was cheering me.”

Have a wonderful weekend, and let’s all be thankful for marvelous feats from unexpected heroes!
