When children hear about Santa and his lists of naughty and nice kids, they sometimes tend to listen to their parents more than they do at other times during the year. One little boy was worried that something he did would mean that he was on Santa's naughty list, so he made a confession when he saw Santa in person.

Landon is autistic, and when he saw Santa, he had to ask him something. His parents took a picture of Landon while he was sitting on Santa's lap. The little boy asked Santa if he would be put on the naughty list because he was autistic according to TV 8 News.

He knew that there were times when he didn't always behave in the best way. Landon was completely wrong about being autistic. Santa talked to him and spoke a few words that relieved his fears. Landon said to TV 8 News that Santa told him, "It's okay to be who you are."

Santa told Landon that he loves him and that the reindeer love him as well. He told Landon that he was a good boy and that he needed to remember that. Landon's mother watched in awe as her son's anxiety seemed to melt away. His mother had said in the past people had called Landon "naughty" which is where the got the notion he was on the "naughty list" because he had autism.
