This is 12-year-old Shayden Walker of Amarillo, Texas.

Shayden has autism, which means he has a hard time connecting with people. Needless to say, Shayden needs some friends (don't we all?), so earlier this month he just started knocking on doors in his neighborhood looking for some.

Here's Shayden during one of these friend-finding missions knocking on one of his neighbor's doors:

I just wanted to see if you knew any kids around like eleven or twelve maybe, because I need some friends, like, really bad.

Just the honest truth with absolutely zero packaging.

That's what I love about autism!

I'll skip the part about the neighbor kids bullying Shayden, because this article is all about positivity. I'll also note that Shayden's sister is very much alive and well, she's just simply not two anymore.

So what did Shayden's neighbor Brennan do with the video he was able to upload to the web from his security feed?

He posted it to TikTok where it's received over 70 MILLION VIEWS!!!!

Not only that, but Brennan also started a GoFundMe page for Shayden, and it brought in $37,000!!

They had to cut it there, as the funds were way more than they expected to raise.

And now, all because of this viral video, Shayden has friends all over the world. He's got peers in England, Australia, and even in China, which is just great if you're a gamer like Shayden.

So it looks like, to say the least, Shayden's plan of going door to door looking for friends has totally worked out in his favor.

And that's all it takes, folks, is a little effort.

God bless you, Shayden Walker!

And God bless Brennan Ray, too!
