A US mom, who had set up a Facebook page for her "friendless son", has got 1.3 million fans for him on the social media site.

Jennifer Cunningham created the 'Happy Birthday Colin' page for her 10-year-old son, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, after he told her that he did not want a birthday party because he did not have friends, the New York Post reported.

The Michigan mother wrote on the page that because of her son's disabilities, social skills are not easy for him, and he often acts out in school, and the other kids don't like him, which prompted her to make the page that has drawn thousands of supportive comments.
