Toddler hugs, fist-bumps strangers with limb differences

Joseph Tidd from Orlando in Florida, the US, reacted in an adorable way after meeting someone just like him who was also missing part of a limb.

He was born with symbrachydactyly, a congenital abnormality that meant his left arm and hand didn't fully develop while he was in the womb.

Wanting to meet others with limb differences, his mother Colleen arranged a meetup for her local chapter of the Lucky Fin Project.

Mere moments after Amy Alamillo Siesel, 34, does fist-bumping with Joseph, he pauses, and appears to notice that just like him she is unique too.

The little boy, who turned 1 in September, looks directly at Amy and waddles over with his arms outstretched to embrace the stranger.

Amy, a stay-at-home mom and teacher's aide, said, "I wanted to see if he had the recognition that our arms were similar, and he seemed to really understand."
