ABC 7's Steve Rudin choked up as he gave a shout-out to a fan having a hard time with social distancing.
As an individual with autism, Mark Byamugisha thrives on routine. But like countless others, his schedule and beloved activities — including bowling, connecting with peers and watching sports — have been upended by the coronavirus pandemic and the need to self-isolate at home with his parents. According to his sister, the disruption has been “grueling” for the 34-year-old Maryland man, who prefers to be called Mark B., and he’s spent much of his quarantine time confined to his bed.
“As long as Steve's broadcast doesn't interrupt a sports game or prior commitment, Mark B. tunes in every day,” she says. “He has always been intrigued by meteorology and like many autistic people, Mark B. appreciates consistency. Steve has been forecasting the weather for many years, and having that recognizable, trusted voice means a lot.”
So I emailed his favorite meteorologist and within an hour @SteveRudinABC7 sent him a video to lift his spirits... pic.twitter.com/gra18X3Fik
