Autistic boy successfully returns home from work
His mother's excitement was evident as she recorded a video of her son recounting his day in details.
The clip, shared on TikTok by @raisingkevin_, showed the young man beaming with confidence as he listed off his accomplishments.
From stacking plates and putting out trays to wiping down tables and earning praise from his colleagues, he had clearly risen to the challenge.
He said:
"Totally amazing day. I was doing everything like stacking the plates and putting the trays. I was doing them one by one. After people left, I was wiping the tables. Every single one of them.
"I went to the kitchen and the ladies said to me good boy. And basically they didn't help me at all. I did these on my own and I smashed it. I absolutely did it. I also found my way home."

"POV: You're autistic and you just returned from work on your first day working in a hospital cafe. Kev's first day at work," the video's caption read.
