Fireman dresses as Spider-Man to rescue boy
BANGKOK - A Thai firefighter dressed as Spider-Man to rescue an autistic boy who climbed onto a third-floor balcony and dangled his legs over the side because he was nervous on his first day of school.
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."

That is the coolest story!!! Awwwwww, what a guy!
That is so wonderful! I am sad that the boy was that distressed to start with, but I am glad they found a way to step in and help. And I am sure that he was thrilled to see Spiderman!
