Boy With Autism Will get Shock Go to From Silent Mickey Mouse For His Birthday
When it was little Nico’s birthday, his mother Vanessa Flores wanted to surprise him with something special.
Nico has the autism spectrum and is non-verbal, so Flores has to be careful about what she surprises him with. He doesn’t like loud noises, so he needs something that doesn’t scare him.
Then Flores came up with the perfect idea. She reached out to Zayya Henderson, the owner of Royal’s Characters, a local party characters shop. Since Nico couldn’t go to Disney, his mother thought she could bring Disney to him.
Henderson agreed for Mickey Mouse to visit Nico at his preschool in Sacramento, California. Flores explained the situation to Henderson and told her that Mickey had to be very patient and very calm.
Flores worried about how Nico would react, but the surprise couldn’t have turned out better. Mickey arrived at Nico’s school and was silent. He allowed Nico to approach him alone and at his own pace.
Nico didn’t just approach him, he ran! So excited to see his favorite Disney character, he hugged Mickey before waving at him. Flores’ heart melted. She said it was magical and the most sincere surprise.
This is definitely going to be a birthday Nico will never forget! Happy birthday, Nico!
