Firefighter Somchai Yoosabai was called in after the 11-year-old boy's teachers and mother failed to coax him off the ledge on Monday, he said in a telephone interview Wednesday.

"He was nervous about the first day at school, and he was asking for his mother," Somchai said. "He cried and refused to let any of us get close to him."

Autistic children can get very, very stressed by changes... sounds like the poor baby went into anxiety overload... thank goodness "Spiderman" came to his rescue!

Firemen are such heros.

Ahah, that's amazing. Reminds me of that movie "Yes Man" where Jim Carey sings to that guy on the ledge.

One of the best stories
