"It just went crazy."After her plea, about 20 other police officers also joined the campaign and used their social media accounts to recruit other departments to the effort in eastern Massachusetts."It's really great for law enforcement to be involved because autism doesn't have physical features for people to look for," Langat said. "It's good to keep them aware." So how was Kyle’s response after seeing the police?"He was beyond elated," Langat said.
