Man With Autism Has the Sweetest Reaction When Santa Visits - Heartwarming!

What a heart warming video. That boy was happy which made his family happy. How awesome for all. Trust me Jesus is there. You just didn't look hard enough. God Bless this family.

This video totally promotes a misconception of autism. It is called 'a spectrum' because there is a very wide description of 'autistic' behavior. This young man seems only to be mentally handicapped. Others are brilliant but not sociable and totally focused on their own interests. The parents seem to be treating him as a two year old. That is not the way to encourage his growth and development both of which are possible in some cases.

wow.. he's got lots of presents.. :( I don't have one.. Last yr, I have only one...from a frenemy.

No one can understand the feeling of the parents when they see the reaction of their child. Only the parents with autistic child can understand.Let Jesus, the center of the Christmas celebration, be remembered at this occasion. He can make the difference in the family's real feeling.

so sweet

PS,,, I am grandmother to a 16 year old... autistic grand daughter...a sweet and lovable child...as this boy seems to be. And I know my response may seem harsh...but still...I really felt for the boy!

I don't get why this is on GodTube! This was a true X-mas video....there was NOTHING mentioned about The Reason for the Season...Jesus! And after all is said and done...I don't think this young man had a "delightful" reaction. The only reactions were one's coaxed out of him by his parents. I felt sadness for him.

The parents are way more excited than the boy, which kind of makes me feel bad for Santa lol... My younger brother is autistic, and he would probably have reacted the same way (he has Santa all figured out). But he lights up whenever someone he loves comes for a visit or when he sees something he genuinely feels excited about.

boring. deceptive 'advertising' - he has no reaction. makes me distrust godtube. not heart-warming. I'm guessing this is a friend of somebody at godtube. it was a bad idea for godtube to recommend this.

What sweet, loving parents. I definitely saw how much they loved their child and wanted to please him with this surprise visit from Santa.

I don't get it... I did not see much of a reaction to Santa and he had to be told to give him a hug. Nothing to say bad about the idea, but do not get the gist of this video... kind of a flat reaction.

It is wonderful that the heart of those that are looked at as differently can find the enjoyment and heart warming experience such as Santa visiting them. I am a mother of an Asperger's child, the cousin to a mother of an Autistic child and know many others that have a pure heart and pure honesty to the effect of unconditional warmth and love that others that are judgemental do not see. Please hug your child and loved ones that are different, regardless of the difference and let them know they are loved and appreciated for who they are and what they can give. God bless the children of the world!

God bless him, and Santa, too.
