The internet is falling in love with Evan McLeod, a four-year-old autistic boy who loves Disney more than anything.
Evan's mother, Eeka Rocha McLeod, on social media for a while now, sharing her son's enthusiasm for dressing up as Disney princesses - and building up a following of more than 10,000 people.
Speaking to , the mother revealed that it initially took a little while for her to embrace her son's desire to recreate various princess looks.
“I thought at first he was confused,” McLeod said, “so I kept showing him the knight outfit, and he was adamant that he wanted [to be] Snow White.”
And that was that.
The family have since become regulars at Disneyland, attending once a week, with Evan now being recognised by many of the park's staff - including the actors playing princesses like Snow White and Cinderella.
Admitting that she struggled with her son's autism diagnosis at first, the supportive mum said that it didn't take long for her to embrace Evan's 'fabulous' quirks and interests.
"It didn’t take long for me to realise that Evan’s way of thinking and behaving wasn’t so different from most children," she wrote in a post on Instagram. "The only real difference is he tosses a whole lotta FABULOUS into everything he does."
“I want Evan and all my kids to know that they are loved and accepted for who they are and will always be."
She continued: “As a parent I choose to encourage confidence and kindness because that’s what ultimately makes the difference in the lives and hearts of kiddos like mine.”
If the social media comments are anything to go by, Evan's incredible looks have inspired more than a few people.
"My son also has autism and until very recently wouldn't have a bar of any of the male characters to dress up or even sing their parts of songs," another mother wrote on Instagram.
"He has dressed up as a princess for Halloween too. I agree with you and think the sparkly way our kids see the world gives so much joy, and dang anyone who says otherwise."
She added: "You are doing an incredible job mumma and he loves you even though he can't say it with words."
