Her immediate bond with Brody shows how gentle and kind she was with the boy who is under the autism spectrum disorder. She truly sets an example to how kindness and gentleness can move people and make the world a better place.

Subhashini Rao, Founder of Sankalp Special School in Chennai had recently visited the United States of America (USA). She says that people are more aware of disabilities and knows how to handle young children better.

“The number of children with developmental disabilities like autism are much higher in the USA. Hence, people are more aware about disabilities and they do not judge the child or parents. Moreover, they do not look down on them like how we often see in India. In fact, people take all this with a pinch of salt. Hence gestures like what was shown at Brody would be quite common there. It is high time that such adventure parks become more inclusive, even in India. Every person must be treated equally”, says Rao.

Many people took to social media to share this heart-warming story.

“Stories like this make me love my company even more”, tweeted Jeffry R Epstein, who works with The Walt Disney.
