Autistic girl saves life in drive through.

Here’s an inspiring story out of Minnesota where a young woman working at McDonald’s saved a customer’s life. 15 year old Sydney Rayley isn’t just any woman. She has autism, but she’s been working hard to be like everyone else, including taking a job at the drive through window at the Eden Prairie McDonalds.

It was from there that she saw a customer in her car choking on a chicken nugget. Syndey literally sprang into action, jumping out the drive through window to help. Sydney, used the Heimlich maneuver, and along with another person helping, was able to dislodge the nugget. She not only saved the woman’s life, but did it in front of her young daughter who will probably never forget how to do the Heimlich now.
