Kerry and Robert Bloch’s son David suddenly stopped speaking at around 4 years old. To this day only talks in single words when prompted.
“He can go days without saying a word,” Kerry said.
David also developed a severe immunodeficiency disorder that meant he needed to be isolated from other kids.
“He wants friends badly. He’s home-schooled, and it’s just the three of us,” Kerry said. “I know he’s lonely and he wants friends.”
Last week, David asked his mother his first-ever question: “Would someone like me?”
Kerry shared his question on her Twitter account.

Responses have poured in from people around the world, who wanted to let David know he’s not alone.

Maria@BeBraveAndTrueI’m late to the party, David, but Nick & I say helloooo! You look like a nice person to know.
Nick has special character, too.
He is 23. He’d like playing video games with you.
