Vincent, a filmmaker from Lyon, France, told South West News: "Isaac has been traveling with us since he was very young, as he accompanies us on our conference adventures. His passion is to meet others, so we are not surprised that he does it so intensely."
Isaac spent over two hours walking up and down the train greeting passengers with a massive smile on his face. He loves approaching people and is always met with appreciation from other travellers.
Vincent added: "During our travels Isaac has always approached people, sitting next to them and communicating in his own way. However, this is the first time we've seen him saying hello to each person with such intensity!

Vincent, who founded an organisation for people with Down Syndrome and their families with his wife, added: "Down syndrome can offer a sixth emotional sense, and Isaac has it. He understands people's emotions like no one else. He has a much higher emotional capacity to feel things than we do!
"Sometimes it can be a double-edged sword because he's an emotional sponge, but sometimes it's incredible! That's Down syndrome. We believe that his sixth emotional sense is an incredible gift!
The proud father continued: "Of course, some days, his Down syndrome can be more challenging, but when Isaac acts this way, we know that he is using his gift, his extra chromosome, perfectly and turning it into a strength.So we are amazed by his kindness during these moments!"
