This Amazing Santa Goes Out Of His Way To Make Little Lad With Autism Comfortable

This Santa has made the Christmas of one family after getting on the floor to make their little boy with autism more comfortable - the pictures have since gone viral!

Six-year-old Brayden Deely was diagnosed with autism when he was three and his mother Erin never thought he'd have the courage to get pictures with Santa.

"I thought we would never get those holiday pictures with him because it’s something he can’t handle – the noise, and the pressure. He gets anxious if you ask him to smile, it’s all too much for him".

But then she heard about an initiative called Caring Santa, which is basically a much more private (and quiet) event for children with special needs so that they too can meet Santa. 

"Brayden was shy and inched his way over slowly and then Santa just slowly gets out of his seat and gets on the ground and starts playing with the toys that my son brought. Oh my gosh, to be able to do something that other families do…normally a lot of things are harder for us as a family and we got to do the same tradition as everyone else, we just do it on the floor"

"I just want to hug this man. He’s so wonderful." said Erin.
