Thank you for sharing this with us.
And he claps. my special needs son is 5 and his 9 yr old brother claps for him when he writes his name because 5 yr old has no thumbs. It takes real love to clap for accomplishments we don't even consider on an average day.

Another wrote, “Everyone should be so lucky to have a brother like that”. “The great thing here is he didn’t do it for her or help her — he just removed a barrier (the net being too high) so she could do it herself,” wrote the third, appreciating the boy’s sensitivity and his responsible behavior.
