Alexa Bjornson was worried about her 7-year-old son traveling alone on a flight from Las Vegas to Oregon on Thursday to visit his father. But his seatmate was more than happy to help out.

A Nevada mom is singing the praises of a passenger who helped comfort and entertain her son with autism through his first solo plane journey.

“We played a brief video game, rock-paper-scissors, and we often checked how long was left of the flight,” Pedraza tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “One thing Landon shared that resonated with me is that he’s sometimes bullied. I have a nephew with facial cranial deformities and he hates school for this very reason,” Pedraza says. “I think more needs to be discussed and done to thwart this behavior by other children and adults. It starts at home, I believe.”

While Pedraza says he definitely didn’t expect for this to go viral, the public is applauding him for his kind act in comments on Alexa's Facebook post.
