My Spider Sense tells me that this story is too cute.

In Bangkok, Thailand, an eight-year-old autistic boy climbed out of a third floor window at his special needs school after becoming very upset. After many attempts by his teachers to coax the boy off the ledge, the fire department was alerted. Because the boy was non-responsive, one firefighter donned a Spider-Man costume and approached the boy with a glass of juice in hand. The boy happily climbed into the arms of his favorite superhero.
