Vacuum salesman invited to teen with autism’s birthday party  

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Since Dylan Green was 2 years old, he has had a passion for vacuum cleaners.

Dylan, who has autism, was never into “normal” toys, his mother Jodie told WTVR.

The middle school student turned 14 over the weekend and celebrated his birthday with a party that included close friends, family and a vacuum salesman.

In an effort to help make her son’s birthday special, Dylan’s mother sent an email to the Kirby Company, the Cleveland-based makers of the Kirby vacuum.

“I am reaching out to you in hopes for an answer to an unusual request for my son who is autistic. He has always been obsessed with vacuum cleaners. His favorite is the Kirby. He spends hours every day watching videos on his tablet about different Kirby’s. When he isn’t watching videos about them, he is talking about them. I really would LOVE to get a demo done for him for his birthday. In fact, I am even getting him a cake made that looks like a Kirby vacuum. I am writing to you in hopes that you can get me in touch with a way to get him this demo. I want to be clear that I do not intend on purchasing a Kirby. I was hoping that I could pay a flat fee or thought that maybe if you have salesmen in training that needs to get in practice demos for training purposes. I do not want anything free, but as the mother of a special needs child, it is so hard to find things to make my son happy. I know that having this demo done would just be so awesome, and it would warm my heart to see him so excited to experience that.”

The company received Jodie’s email and made her son’s birthday dream come true.

In addition to sending Dylan a soccer ball, a hat and a T-shirt with the Kirby logo, a Kirby salesman traveled from Fredericksburg to Chesterfield to perform a vacuum demonstration at the party.

“He knew more about the Kirby than I did,” an obviously impressed Al Archie said. “I have never experienced anything like that.”

Archie, who has been selling vacuums for Kirby for 25 years, said he was moved by Dylan’s knowledge and was taken aback by photos of a much younger Dylan dressed up as a vacuum salesman.

“I imagine it was like a sports fan meeting one of his idols, like Michael Jordan,” Archie said.

Archie also had a surprise for Dylan.

“At the end of the demonstration [he] gave my son a brand new Kirby vacuum,” Jodie Greene said. “There was not a dry eye in the house.”

Kirby vacuums are not a cheap, but Archie said he decided to get one for Dylan as a way to celebrate the child’s passion.

“I planned I wanted to do something for him,” Archie said. “[It was] an opportunity to give something back.”

Jodie Greene said her son has been over the moon ever since his birthday surprise.

“I’m going to have the cleanest carpets in Chesterfield County,” she joked.

that is the goofiest special interest i have ever heard. i say that as an autistic who cannot shut up about yarn. vacuum cleaners? how do you even get into that in the first place?

… god i love humanity. we are so interesting. <3 <3 <3

[roachpatrol]

I love stuff like this that sharply contradicts the popular notion that autistic kids are worthless cuz they’ll Never Have Jobs since they’re not Normal— like this fourteen year old kid knew more than a salesman with decades of experience. He impressed the shit out of that salesman, he treated that guy like a rockstar and I bet that’ll be remembered. If he’s still into Kirby vacuums in another eight years— and why not! I bet vacuums are pretty damn neat once you really have a look— why shouldn’t he go and work for the company? Surely having someone around with an offhand encyclopedic knowledge of the product and a wildly sincere passion for it also is gonna be useful as fuck to some process.

And if not, because money isn’t everything, then hey, his mom is gonna have the cleanest carpets ever for the rest of her life, and so might whatever partners he has. Maybe he can spend his life unemployed but happily cleaning all his friends’ carpets and that’s cool too. I’d fucking love for someone to vacuum stuff for me, I hate it.

It would be so amazing if he could one day work for the Kirby company, because he clearly has a very in depth knowledge of their products, and an obvious passion for it. 

What a great surprise present though!

Bless you, and bless your tags on that Cockles audio post. I would both like to flip a table, and cup Jensen's face, look him in the eye, and say "Darlin', we know, it's okay. But you're about as smooth as gravel at hiding your Misha-related thoughts and reactions."

(about my tags on this)

THAT POOR BOY THOUGH. He always thinks he’s being so macho manly and Captial-S Straight with all his Manly Mannerisms and Big Hulking Movements

(x)

and then he’s all like

 (x)

 (x)

 (x)

and hE IS A FLAMBOYANT LITTLE POPPYFLOWER PRANCING AROUND IN A MEADOW OF GLITTER SPARKLES

and he tries so hard to hide it, but then there’s Misha

and Misha just throws a wrench into everything

 (x)

LOOK AT THOSE GLISTENING EYES

Jensen can’t hide anything from the cameras. When he’s on set, he gets a second take, a second chance to display only what he means to display (and it works some of the time), and he gets a say in what the editors keep and take away from what they caught on film. But not on stage, not when it’s all happening too fast to keep under his control. Misha takes Jensen away from that persona of his, the guy he tries so hard to be, the guy he wants his father to see, and the result of Misha’s influential presence is that Jensen just becomes more like himself. I’m just guessing here (call it an informed guess, maybe) but it must feel like such a relief for him, to finally just laugh at the things he wants to laugh at, and not constantly have to think about how to control himself and how to school his expressions and his postures so nobody sees the part of Jensen that he thinks is shameful. He’s acting all the freaking time. It’s gotta be exhausting. Misha makes Jensen lose what he doesn’t want to lose - at least not in front of an audience - which in all likelihood makes him uncomfortable and vulnerable - and oh, hey, look:

Jensen: “…he makes me uncomfortable.” (video)

—and yet:

Conclusion: Misha puts a weak spot in Jensen’s heterosexual manly-man armour, and that weak spot is being PRODDED, STROKED and LICKED ON OCCASION.

Also, bless those people with cameras pointed at Misha and Jensen. May your batteries never die and your memory cards always have enough space to record the majestic trainwreck of Jensen’s put-upon exterior.
