Act Of Kindness For Bullied Teen With Autism

David, Carson’s mother, and the team at Six Foot Studios worked together, surprising the teen with an up-close look at how video games are put together. 

Carson, as the video shows, is all about video games. When he’s not in his room playing them, he’s walking around thinking through a storyline for a potential game. Young Carson Thompson hopes to create them when he grows up. 

“Video games are the highest form of art. You got art and music. In the future, I want to make games. Like, I’ve got a lot of ideas,” Carson said.

The day of his surprise visit to Six Foot Studios in Austin, Texas finally arrived. There, Carson checked out the studio, interacted with the staff, and even played around with some of the studio’s design equipment.

Saying the surprise floored and motivated Carson Thompson would be an understatement.

“Today was awesome. I’m pretty inspired. I think that I am going to make the best game ever created,” Carson said
