1.Last Friday,6-year-old Landon Johnson went to the River Town Crossings Mall in Grandville with his family.While there,the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa,sharing their Christmas desires.
After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii,a toy dinosaur and a remote control car,Landon hopped off Santa's lap to rejoin his family.But a few moments later,he raced back to Santa's side:he'd forgotten to tell him something important.Specifically,Landon shared his worry with Santa that his autism(自闭症) would land him on the"naughty list."
His mom,Naomi Johnson,explained to WOOD-TV this week that Landon is often told he's"naughty"by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior."You get the stares when you're at the grocery store if he's too loud,"Johnson said."He's been told by other people before,‘You don't need to be so naughty,'or,‘Why are you naughty?"
Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landon's worries,and held the boy's hands all the while."Santa sat him next to him and took Landon's hands in his and started rubbing them,calming them down.Santa asked Landon if it bothered him,having Autism?Landon said yes,sometimes.Then Santa told him it shouldn't.It shouldn't bother him to be who he is,"Johnson said.
Landon told Santa that he sometimes"gets in trouble at school and it's hard for people to understand that he has autism,"but that he's"not a naughty boy."
"You know I love you and the reindeer love you and it's OK.You're a good boy,"Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon."You're a good boy,you know."
Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa's thoughtful words."This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I've been trying to get through to him for a while now-that he's special and I love him just the way he was made,"the mom told Today.com."Seeing Landon's face light up in that moment was just incredible.I couldn't stop crying.He was the real Santa Claus."
