When we plan a trip to Disney World for a much-needed vacation, many of us are not expecting to see something that redefines our reality. Instead, we anticipate watching our kids enjoy the rides, eating great food, watching fireworks, and witnessing our childhood heroes come to life.

On this particular day, spectators witnessed a beautiful moment at Disney World in Florida, when an actress playing Snow White met a boy with autism. The boy, Jackson Coley is two-years-old and began to get uncomfortable when it was his turn to take a photo with the fairytale icon. Snow White instead took time to console Jack Jack and by the end, the boy was smiling. Luckily, Jackson's mother Amanda captured the moment on video.

Amanda Coley and her 2-year-old son, Jackson Coley, from North Carolina, decided to visit Disney World as a way to unwind and enjoy a mother-son bonding experience. The two stood in line in anticipation to take a picture with the beloved Snow White.

While the other children interacted with the actress, Jackson became unhinged and experienced elevated levels of discomfort. For Jackson, life is a bit different. The boy was previously diagnosed with autism and frequently deals with anxiety when dealing with strangers and unknown obstacles. For Snow White, this was an opportunity to change a little boy's life forever.

When Jackson reached the front of the visitation line, the thought of taking a picture with Snow White was the last thing on his mind. Instead, he began to cry and grew despondent as the seconds rolled by.

Knowing that Jackson needed some extra attention, Snow White began to console the boy in his time of need. She expressed patience and love towards the boy when she grabbed his hand and took him on a walk. With people who suffer from autism, spending one-on-one time is paramount for socializing with others.

TODAY reports that Snow White danced, laughed, and communicated with the boy as if the rest of the world didn't exist. To Amanda's amazement, Jackson began to calm down and showcase signs of joy and happiness.

In a letter that Amanda wrote to Disney World, she describes the actress as someone who truly cares and goes above and beyond her call of duty. Although the woman's actions may seem simplistic, it forever changed the lives of the Coley family and will be a memory they will never forget.

Do you know someone who needs positivity in their lives? Perhaps this beautiful story of an autistic boy can revitalize their hope, and help them realize that the world is a wonderful place. If Snow White's behavior can change the life of a young boy with autism, what can we do to make the world a better place?
