Kind Man Sat Next To Woman With Autism Who Was Sitting Alone During Chiefs Game

34-year-old Tima Suluvale and her uncle attended the Kansas City Chiefs game, but were unable to get seats together.

Suluvale, who has autism, ended up sitting next to a man who was very kind to her the entire game. He talked to her, gave her high fives, and enjoyed watching the game with her. This was a relief for Tima, who was nervous to sit by herself.

She ended up snapping a selfie with her new friend and telling her family all about him. Her family was blown away by his kindness and wanted to thank him, but unfortunately, they didn’t know his name.

Suluvale’s sister, Sa’euteuga posted the story on Facebook, which ended up going viral. Local news outlets picked up the story as well, which eventually led to many people reaching out and saying that they knew who the mystery man is.

It turns out that his name is Brian Thomas, who lives in Belleville, Illinois and has always been a big Chiefs fan. He and his friends took the trip to Arrowhead last week for the game, and was happy to meet a new Chiefs fan and friend in Suluvale.

He also said he had no idea that Suluvale had autism, and now knowing the story, he is happy that he was able to sit next to her and help alleviate some of her and her uncle’s stress about sitting apart.

Suluvale’s family has reached out to Thomas, and they are hoping that he and Suluvale will be able to Zoom in the near future to reconnect.
