A video of an autistic teen loading juice into a fridge at a supermarket has gone viral.
Jack Ryan Edwards, 17, loves coolers and the drinks stacked inside them.
His dad took a video of a supermarket employee working with Jack to help stock shelves with the drinks.
The supermarket employee Jordan Taylor said, "I never pictured all this would happen. I was just being me. That's it. I just wanted to help somebody else out. Enjoy something."
Jack's family says they can never thank that employee enough for being so kind to their son.
