Alabama community turns out to support bullied autistic boy

When 10-year-old Hunter Blankenship, of Clanton, Alabama, was bullied over his rainbow glasses, he was nearly driven to self-harm. But the car-loving autistic boy instead received an outpouring of love from the community, when car buffs were asked to share their automotive enthusiasm with Hunter – and hundreds answered the call.
