Little Girl With Autism Reminds Others of Snow White and Her Connection to Animals

A little girl with autism reminds others of Snow White and her connection to animals. Some people are born with a deep, almost sacred connection to the creatures around them. You can see it in their eyes, in the way animals respond—not with fear but with trust. Steve Irwin had it. And so does a little girl whose sweet bond with animals has gone viral on social media.

“My daughter is autistic and has always had a connection with animals,” writes her mom, Brittany Kievit, in the caption of a now-viral video. “It’s so beautiful to watch her with them.”

And beautiful doesn’t even begin to describe it.

In the video Brittany shares, her daughter, young, innocent, and full of light. She gently interacts with wildlife, including a deer who approaches her as though they’ve known each other forever. There's no hesitation. Just quiet trust. The way the deer leans in and lets her stroke its face, it's like watching a scene out of a fairytale. It’s no wonder so many are calling her “Snow White.”

As a mom to three kids on the autism spectrum, I see what others might overlook. These incredible children experience the world in vivid, powerful ways. Their senses can be overwhelming, their communication may look different—but their hearts? Oh, their hearts are fierce, intuitive, and overflowing with wonder.

God Made Her This Way

When I watched this video, I didn’t just see a little girl with autism. I saw God’s fingerprints. I saw His creativity, His intentional design. I saw a child who was created not in spite of her differences but because of them.

God made her this way—gentle, knowing, in tune with creatures that most people never get close to. And though the world may try to put labels on her, I see the fullness of who she is: precious, powerful, and made in His image.

In the comments, people in awe shared the same sentiment:

“My mom calls me Dr. Doolittle. I don’t have autism, but I have very bad ADHD, and I’ve always had a strong connection with animals,” one person wrote.

Another shared, “I was nicknamed the ‘animal whisperer.’ This makes me so happy.”

Me too.

Because the world needs more of this kind of beauty. The kind that whispers, “You belong. Just as you are.”

Isaiah 11:6  “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.”
