Amanda Coley spoke to Inside Edition about her two-year-old Jack who has autism and the day he fell in love.
“When Jack kind of regressed at six-months-old, we sort of knew.”
“To us he’s very lovable, he’s always been extremely happy, but when it comes to other people, he’s just very shy.
"If he’s scared of someone he cried. But otherwise, if he doesn’t know someone, he ignores them.” Amanda said of her son’s social skills.
Every year, Amanda, her husband and their three sons go to Disney World and last November was no different.
Jack was disengaged as always with the park and all the Disney characters roaming the walkways.
Until he saw Snow White that was.
The video captured by his parent’s shows the little boy completely enamoured at the sign of the Disney princess.
"It gave me hope there watching that that he will have the ability to warm up to people someday."
Since then Amanda shows Jack the video and her little boys asks to watch it again and again and ever blows kisses at the screen.
Already looking forward to their next trip, Amanda is hoping to meet Snow White again and thank her for what she did for Jack.
"I would just love for her to know how much this actually meant to us," she said.
"I appreciate how she took that time with him and didn't rush him away. We've been in tears so many times just watching it and thinking about it. It's something that we'll never forget."
