For six years, Mickey Jensen, 61, and her son, Will, have been selling ice cream along the streets of St James. Will is 40 years old and has high-level autism. This causes him to behave like a 12 year old. "Its not about the money," says Mickey. "This gives Will self-esteem and confidence."
"Will doesn't like to be touched but he allows me to do so," says Mickey. "Once in a while, he will headbutt me. That's his way of showing affection."
