Ford has autism and he works as a traffic signal manager in Arlington. Over the years, he became a local celebrity in his area, thanks to his daily dancing at a popular intersection of S Cooper and Pleasant Ridge Road.

The teenager was able to attend the sought-after concert after his mother opened a GoFundMe account to afford the tickets.
