Like all parents, Erin Deely wanted to take her son Brayden to see Santa at Christmas.
But, after Brayden, who’s now six years old, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three, Erin worried that it was a Christmas tradition she’d have to miss out on with her little boy.
‘I thought we would never get those holiday pictures with him because it’s something he can’t handle – the noise, and the pressure. He gets anxious if you ask him to smile, it’s all too much for him,’ she told People.
