1st grader with Asperger's buys entire school Valentines candy

Quote:
The candy gram sales will buy “buddy benches” for the school. If a child is feeling lonely, they sit on the bench and it will signal to a student or teacher that they need someone to play with.

J.D. has Asperger Syndrome, and sometimes prefers to keep to himself. But on this day, he wanted to let everyone know they were loved.

Where'd he get all that money?

I hope people appreciate him for what he'd done.

i thought that meant "autistic first grader buys the entire school's supply of candy."

i *know* it's not worded the right way to indicate that, but....
