BBC World Service - World Have Your Say, Having a Child with Autism

A photo of a child with autism sat with American footballer Travis Rudolph has gone viral

We hear from parents after a photo of a child with autism sitting with American footballer Travis Rudolph goes viral.  Also, we hear from undocumented workers in the US.

We hear from parents of children with autism as one mother has explained how she was moved to tears after seeing a picture of American footballer Travis Rudolph eating lunch with her son at school, as he usually eats alone. The image, and her response, has gone viral. 

And, undocumented workers in the US respond to Donald Trump’s proposals to legislate against them, if he became president. Also, we hear from Brazil after the country's Senate voted to remove President Dilma Rousseff from office for manipulating the budget.
