A autistic teen in Minnesota is being hailed<\/a>\u00a0as a hero after she jumped through a drive-thru window during her shift at McDonald’s to save a customer who was choking.<\/p>\n

Fifteen-year-old Sydney Raley had been working at the restaurant for about seven months, and told CNN<\/a>, “The day had been mostly normal \u2014 making coffee, making drinks. Going into the lunch rush, it was all normal.” But suddenly the average day became much more than average.<\/p>\n

Sydney had already handed a customer some of her food and returned to tell her that the rest would be out shortly when she noticed that the woman was choking. Having taken a Red Cross babysitter class at age 11, Sydney’s training kicked in.<\/p>\n
