Who would not fall in love with a Disney princess? Well, 2-year-old Jack Jack is one of the many kids who was bewitched by a Disney character during a visit to Disney World in Florida. But what is more interesting is the fact that Jack Jack is a non-verbal autistic boy who's usually shy with people he's not familiar with.
Due to the spellbinding moment of Jack Jack with Disney princess Snow White, his very emotional mom, Amanda Coley, shared a touching video on YouTube about the encounter. Coley admitted in her video caption that she cried a lot of tears when she watched her son's interaction with one of Disney's most loved characters.
"It still brings tears to my eyes because I remember how special the moment was, since he doesn't do those things with other people," Coley told TODAY.com. "I saw affection and I saw just happiness and that look that he was so at ease, that he wasn't nervous or scared. He didn't have any fears toward [Snow White] at all. He's not ever like that."
Meanwhile, Jack Jack's emotional video has captured the hearts of many people all over the world and has since gone viral, earning more than 2.3 million views and over 9,700 likes on YouTube. On Facebook, the video has been viewed more than 6 million times and shared over 7,000 times.
Following the reactions to Jack Jack's emotional video with Snow White, Amanda Coley, who is a photographer and a mother of two autistic sons from North Carolina, created a Facebook page called Disney Adventures & Autism. She also shared a longer version of the video that showed their magical Disney trip.
Speaking of Disney, the company is offering services for guests with cognitive disabilities like Autism Spectrum to have a magical experience. In fact, Coley has praised Disney World for going above and beyond in making kids with disabilities happy and have a great Disney experience.
