The mother of an autistic boy has answered a neighbor sending a hate letter by writing one herself.

Karla Begley was shocked when she read that one of her neighbors thought that her 13-year-son Max should be euthanized for making too many weird noises on the background.

Begley, who lives in Ontario, Canada, opened up to “Love That Max” blogger Ellen Seidman. The latter's son suffers from cerebral palsy.

Begley writes that she is always willing to explain her son's autism to children who poke fun at him.

She answers her son's critic on the issue of him not being able to hold down a job or have a relationship by arguing that we all have different roles on the planet.

“Everyone has a place in the world. Some people are meant to hold big jobs. Some people make you happy and smile. Max brings pure joy and love,” she says.
