Orlando, Fla. — A theme park employee is being called a real life superhero because of what she did on a Spiderman ride.
Last week at Universal's Islands of Adventure in Orlando, an autistic boy had a meltdown.
He laid down on the floor of the ride, screaming and crying and nobody knew what to do.
That's when worker Jen Whelchel laid down next to him, and calmly talked to the nine-year-old, until he felt better and was able to get up.
"She rested next to him while he cried his heart out, and she helped him breathe again. She spoke to him so calmly, and while he screamed and sobbed, she gently kept encouraging him to let it all out. She told people to keep on walking around them, so they would stop standing there and staring," Ralph’s mother, Lenore Koppleman said.
