Snow White comforts a boy with autism during meltdown

But Mickey Mouse is not the only character who takes time for their fans. In 2019, a mother from New Jersey wrote an emotional letter to Disney after one of their princesses handled an interaction with a boy with autism, CBS News reports.

In a Facebook post, Lauren Bergner shared that their family had been waiting in line to take a photo with Snow White at Disney World. Her son Brody had a meltdown when it was their turn for a photo. The mom explained that her son has autism and is non-verbal. The little boy cried at Snow White's lap. A Disney photographer took a shot of the heartwarming moment. The actress playing Snow White consoled Brody, took his hand, and went for a walk with him. Snow White and Brody were seen dancing in the photos, which melted the mom's heart, compelling her to write to Disney.

She praised the Snow White actress for being so amazing with her son. She kissed, hugged, cuddled, and took him away from the crowd. Bergner thanked the woman playing Snow White, calling her "a pure angel." She added that "The world needs more Snow Whites."
