Menino autista com quatro anos cumpre sonho de se vestir de Princesa

A paixão de Evan McLeod, um menino de quatro anos de idade que tem autismo, causou controvérsia nas redes sociais por quebrar estereótipos.

O pequeno Evan ama as princesas da Disney e adora vestir-se como elas. A mãe partilha fotos do filho no Instagram com a esperança de ensinar o resto das crianças a aceitar as diferenças dos outros.

Apesar das críticas de que é alvo, por ser uma criança que veste vestidos, Evan McLeod continua a fazê-lo. A mãe, de Orange, Califórnia, Estados Unidos, leva-o à Disneyland sempre que pode. Naquele lugar ele está feliz. Muitas das pessoas que trabalham no parque já o conhecem.

When your mind says Halloween ???? but your heart says Christmas ???? ••• HAPPY FIRST DAY OF NOVEMBER!!! In just a little over a week the parks will be transformed into a winter wonderland ❄️ And you know what that means…TONS of Santa Mickey merch ???? Evan got his Loungefly Santa Mickey from Shop Disney, but these bags can also be found in World of Disney! The Christmas merchandise hit the parks a couple weeks ago and I’m loving what I’m seeing. I’m pretty sure Santa will be doing most of his shopping in Disneyland this year ???? . . . . . . . . . . #loungefly #disneychristmas #abc7eyewitness #happiestplace #disneyfamily #disneykid #disneymom #disneyannualpassholder #disneyfans #disneylandforever #disneyparks #disneyside #disneyaccount #disneykids #happiestplaceonearth #disneyblogger #disneyaddict #disneyigers #disneylandresort #disneygram #ilovedisney #disneycommunity #annualpassholder #disneyland #disneycastle #shopdisney #disneymerch #princessboybounds

A mãe contou à CBS News que Evan sempre quis usar vestidos de princesa e não roupas masculinas: “No início pensei que ele estava confuso, mas continuei a mostrar-lhe as roupas de rapaz, e ele insistiu que queria vestir-se de “Branca de Neve”.

Os primeiros anos de vida de Evan foram difíceis. Nasceu prematuro, tem autismo, microcefalia e atrasos no desenvolvimento. A sua mãe biológica era viciada em drogas e entregou-p para adoção. No entanto, a sua nova família está disposta a fazer tudo o que é possível para fazê-lo feliz e aceite pela comunidade.

“We didn’t even realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.” ~ Winnie the Pooh ••• A little tip: Be sure to watch the video ‘til the end. It’s my favorite part ???? It’s Friendship Friday and we are so thankful for our wonderful Disney pals! Wanna spend some time with your favorite friends on your next visit to Disneyland? Here’s a few of my tricks (and treats!): 1. Hang out by the Livery Stable next to Mad Hatters on Main St at the front of the park. The characters pop right out of here and it’s the perfect opportunity to get a video of your kiddo (or you, no judgment!) walking hand in hand with them. You can also ask a CM what time they’re due to come out. 2. Be sure to check those Disney apps for time and location if you want to see a specific character. 3. Rest those aching feet by sitting on the benches near Pixie Hollow. Characters heading to Fantasyland use the walkway between Tomorrowland and Pixie Hollow. And extra bonus is the beautiful pond and flowers that make a stunning backdrop in this area! I hope to see LOTS of pics with your favorite characters and feel free to leave your tips in the comments below ???????????????? . . . . . . . . . . #happiestplace #disneyfamily #disneykid #disneymom #disneyannualpassholder #disneyfans #disneylandforever #disneyparks #disneyside #disneyaccount #disneykids #happiestplaceonearth #disneyblogger #disneyaddict #disneyigers #disneylandresort #disneygram #ilovedisney #disneycommunity #annualpassholder #disneyland #disneymoms #abc7eyewitness #disneyfriends #disneycaliforniaadventure
