If there was ever a lesson that small, kind gestures can go a long way, this group of teens from Milford, Massachusetts, certainly is a wonderful example.

Earlier this week, 7-year-old Tristan Caron, who has autism, was at Urban Air Adventure Park in Bellingham with his mother, Christina, when a group of teenagers invited him to play with them. The interaction left a lasting impression on Christina, who took to social media to thank the teens for including her son.

Livy Molinari, one of the teenagers, told WBZ-TV that the interaction happened when she decided to ask Tristan one question after noticing he was sitting by himself.
