Russell Wadsworth (RsW) and Remmick Wadsworth (RmW)

RmW: You would always have my back – talking to customers for me, handle them for me while I make their drinks…

RsW: I was the cafe supervisor. I was overseeing things. And almost everyone that worked at that cafe had autism. And I remember, there was this one employee; he was not very accustomed to talking with people. He would have this scowl on his face, but that was just how he was. And a customer came up, and took his scowl the wrong way, and just got so mad. He was about ready to punch his lights out. And so, I pulled the gentleman to the side and explained to him this employee is on the spectrum. And after I explained this to him, this man started crying because he didn’t realize this. And so, it really helped build my self-confidence up.

RmW: What were you like as a kid?

RsW: Oh…eh. It was really hard for me to talk because I just — I was always nervous. Um, I was always nervous.

RmW: What were you like as a brother to me?

RsW: Ugh, golly. I always wanted to — I wanted to always protect you, man.

RmW:  Mmhmm. I appreciate you being my big brother.

RsW: You know what Remmick, I don’t know what I’d do without you. Seriously. Because I cannot stand being alone. That’s actually my number one fear in life. I don’t like being the last person to go to sleep at night. And for you to be there, I feel pretty blessed man. To have a brother who shares something that you have, the same kind of emotions…and it’s hard for me to explain that, but you know what I’m talking about, right?

RmW: Mhmm.

RsW: It’s just — I think it just means the world.
