Adorable child with Down Syndrome checks in on all his fellow passengers during train journey

The presence of a happy child almost always brings a smile to people's faces, no matter how hard their day has been. Isaac Drisch, a little kid with Down Syndrome, often travels with his parents Vincent and Alice as they document it on their social media pages. One such video featuring the adorable young boy went viral after they posted it on their Instagram profile on June 11, 2023. The video posted by @vincentdrisch shows little Isaac moving through a train compartment while sweetly greeting every passenger he can manage to reach in the aisle seats.

Isaac's father, who happens to be a director and photographer according to his website, captioned the video in French which translated as follows: "Isaac is looking after the well-being of TGV passengers. This was a fun experience. We were getting back on the train and Isaac started saying hello to everyone and asked if they were okay. Each passenger reacted with great joy." Well, Isaac probably made their day with his small and sweet gesture.

Isaac's father has also captured some memorable footage on Instagram of his son as he made his first-ever flight journey and even got an opportunity to sit in the co-pilot's position inside the cockpit. The video of Isaac greeting passengers on the train has gained over 3 million views and thousands of comments so far. It was even reposted on Twitter where netizens left wholesome comments for Isaac.

@tsaiphi25 tweeted in response to the reposted video and wrote: "The most adorable quality control." @Hirsch8Kerry commented: "I hope he checked on the other side of the aisle on the way back!" @fabiennepadel left a thoughtful comment on the viral Instagram video and wrote: "He is so sweet and simple in his relationship to the other. If only we could all act like this." @tima59_ commented: "This little man is too cute. If only adults were like him the world would be a better place."

In a similar story, a barber from Cincinnati, Ohio went viral for giving free haircuts to kids with sensory issues such as Down Syndrome. Since haircut days are stressful for parents who have a child requiring special needs, Vernon Jackson opens up his shop to organize what he calls "The Gifted Event" each month for a day and welcomes such kids and their parents to get them free haircuts.

According to the UN, approximately 3,000 to 5,000 children are born with this chromosome disorder each year. Down Syndrome is caused by an extra partial (or complete) copy of chromosome 21 present in the human body. It exists in all parts of the world and has varying effects on learning styles, physical traits and health of a person diagnosed with this condition. People with Down Syndrome require adequate health care, early intervention initiatives, inclusive education and suitable research to aid their growth and development.
