Raymond Lee Turns a Truckstop Visit Into a Touching Moment
Jack of all trades? Not quite… but Singaporean hero Raymond Lee has been keeping the good vibes rolling, one truck at a time.
What Actually Happened
Picture this: a busy sunny afternoon, a couple of trucks parked like islands of curiosity, and a father‑son pair strolling around. The dad—let’s call him Mr. Tan—was bringing his little boy, Timmy, for a full‑on truck‑sniffing adventure. Timmy, who has autism, left a trail of smiles everywhere.
Why Those Trucks Are Special
- Timmy’s eyes light up like a neon sticker at each silhouette of metal.
- Each honk from the truck feels like a drumbeat for his emotional soundtrack.
- The whole street feels like a mini carnival of joy.
Seeing this, Raymond stepped in. He turned a regular morning into a heart‑warming spectacle.
Raymond’s Creative Surge
Instead of just watching, he decided to make it unforgettable. From a spontaneous tour of the truck yard to handing out small gifts—like custom‑printed magnets—he brought authenticity to the sweet moment.
What Everyone Got From It
In a world that sometimes feels too quick, this simple act reminds us that a little kindness can get everyone in sync—one beep at a time.
Boy with autism loves trucks
When Trucks Become Playtime: The Story of a Truck‑Loving Autistic Kid
Last month, a simple Facebook update from a logistics worker named Lee sparked a flood of comments and shares. Spotting a familiar pair outside his depot, Lee felt compelled to reach out and, in the process, uncovered a touching story about how a loving father and his autistic son keep their time together by hugging a truck.
Finding the Truck‑Trek Trio
Lee mentioned that Sunday night, after clocking out, he noticed a father and his son hanging around one of the company’s Scania S500 Highline prime movers. He says it’s not the first time he’s seen them, but this occasion was different.
“During one early‑morning shift, a few weeks back, I was in a rush and missed the chance to chat with them,” Lee recalled. “This time, the dad kept his car parked right next to the truck and I saw that the kid had no rush either.”
Why Trucks Are Their Playground
Lee eventually struck up a conversation with the father. The conversation revealed that the boy, autistic yet incredibly enthusiastic, is a truck aficionado. He loves prime movers and tractors so much that he would spend up to half an hour just “roaming” next to them before finally heading home.
“Our trucks really pull him in. Even other trucks get his attention,” Lee says.
Despite the everyday disruptions this can cause, the father remains very supportive. He patiently waits for his son to finish his truck‑tethered adventure before steering him toward school in the morning or home in the evening.
Love Over Schedule
- Dad’s patience is key: he knows the emotional pull of trucks.
- Son’s fascination with prime movers soars—he even takes photos with them.
- Work schedules sometimes suffer, but the family chooses to keep the son happy.
More Than a Tale—A Lesson
Lee’s story sheds light on everyday accommodations that can happen in the workplace. By offering a calm, welcoming environment, places like Lee’s company help staff families—especially those facing neurodiversity—balance their responsibilities.

In the end, the bread‑sized joy found behind the spark plugs reminds us that sometimes the simplest kindnesses are the ones that keep people—and trucks—connected.

An Unforgettable Ride for a Little Dreamer
Picture this: a truck that’s more than just a vehicle—it’s a mobile playground for a 5‑year‑old. Lee had an idea that would bring a big smile to the little boy’s face: let him sit in the cabin of a Scania prime mover. It’s one of those moments that turns a simple day into a story worth telling.
How It All Unfolded
- Step 1: The Spare Key Gambit – Lee quickly made his way to the garage to fetch an extra key. The spare key was the golden ticket to the inside of the truck.
- Step 2: The Big Reveal – The kids’ eyes widened as Lee unlocked the cabin and opened the doors, inviting the boy to climb aboard.
- Step 3: Feeling the Throne – From the hum of the engine to the panoramic view inside, the baby’s face lit up with pure awe.
The Promise That Lasted
Not only did Lee give him a taste of truck life, but he also pledged something else: “Whenever I get a chance, I’ll bring you for a ride in the Scania prime mover.” That personal promise resonated with everyone, especially the young boy who already feels like a future driver.
A Father’s Perspective
Lee, a dad to five kids, found the little boy’s patience and curiosity heartwarmingly similar to his own family. “My fullest respect to him,” wrote Raymond, reflecting on the bond that grew between the two fathers.
So, somewhere between the roaring engine and the gleam of that extra key, a simple gesture turned into a cherished memory that both boys’ll carry for years to come.

When a Simple Compliment Turns a Day Around
Picture this: a couple of strangers at a coffee shop, and one of them turns to the other with a grin that says “You’ve got this!” It’s a small thing, but it can ignite a whole story.
Why This One Matters
- Kids with special needs often shine in ways the rest of us never notice.
- Those subtle moments—like a kind word—can unlock a world of confidence for them.
- Every gesture, no matter how tiny, can pave the way for something extraordinary.
That friendly “Good on you bro! Kids with special needs are like that but hey, they do excel very well in areas that we can’t. That’s what’s special about them.”—goes beyond a simple compliment. It’s a reminder that we can spread a little joy, and in return, get a glimpse of the extraordinary strengths that “special” kids bring.
One Warmhearted Tale
A two-year-old in a local program looked up at the world with wide eyes. All he ever wanted was a chance to run around on a mini truck. The person who said the warm words believed, “If we give him that truck, he’ll be super‑super happy.” And that is exactly what happened—the little rider finally got to enjoy his wheels and, believe it or not, the entire community feels a touch deeper in their hearts.
The Ripple Effect
This is what makes us smile again: a tiny act of kindness, a verbal nod, reminding us that everyone deserves a shot at a dream. So, if you’re around a special kid, remember that a compliment can open up a whole world of possibilities.
Here’s hoping that our little truck‑fan gets to ride the rails soon. The day’s just going to be brighter from the inside out.
