COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (WMC) - Four Tennessee Tech mechanical engineering students decided to give a special surprise to a 2-year-old with autism.
Aiden Robertson was diagnosed with autism in February and a few weeks later he and his mother Lorren lost everything in a deadly tornado that hit Putnam County.
“Once you get that news that you have an autistic child, everything starts going through your head about what you have to do to help him,” said Robertson. “Then the tornado hit. It was hard. He lost all of his therapeutic things, and we just had to start over.”
