Sometimes a small act of kindness can completely change a person's day, no matter how small it may seem to others.
That's why one mum is thanking an Asda worker "from the bottom of her heart" for a simple act, which made the world of difference to her five-year-old son, who lives with autism.
The mum and son were shopping in the Golborne branch of Asda in Wigan, Greater Manchester, when shopping assistant Matt changed their entire day by giving the little boy a high five with "a friendly attitude" as well as going above and beyond to show him "the best respect," according to the Manchester Evening News.

"Matt let my son high five him multiple times (we had cleaned our hands beforehand)," she wrote in an emotional letter to the store.
"He even told some of the other staff that my son likes high fives and they gave him some too. It doesn't sound like much, but it really did make my son's experience a better one."
Shopping is something the youngster usually struggles with due to his autism, but his interaction with Matt made a world of difference to his whole experience.
"We'd tried to go into another shop before Asda but he just couldn't do it because of the sensory overload, but having Matt and his friendly attitude made Asda a better experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart," she continued.
Sharing the anonymous letter online, customer section manager Michelle added: "Matt's a true gentleman with a heart of gold.
"He made this child's day and his mum's shopping experience 100 percent better. Thank you."
