"Inclusion starts at home and parents should talk to their kids about these things before sending them to school every year. It will make a difference for my son if you have these kind of talks with your kids," the caption on the original post read, in part.
"Teach them to not only be kind but to look past differences this year and make a new friend like my son," Ashton's mother also wrote over the video.
The video has gone viral on social media, with many highlighting the importance of teaching children to be kind and include others who may not look or act like them.
