Joseph Tidd is not an ordinary boy. The 21-month-old has a congenital condition that led him to be born without a fully formed left arm. The little boy who is just learning about his differences is already raising awareness about this condition. Curated by Joseph’s parents, his Instagram account has thousands of followers who support this little boy’s journey of growing up with limb differences.

Recently, even more people have heard of Joseph since the photo of him and Orlando Pride defender Carson Picket went viral across the Internet.
The photo was taken last month during one of Pride’s football matches. Joseph’s mother managed to capture the heartwarming moment as Picket, who was also born without a forearm, come up to fist bump the little boy.
The exchange made Joseph ecstatic, the toddler couldn’t stop giggling and smiling at the footballer.
The Tidd family came to support Carson Picket during the match by no accident.
Joseph and Carson met each other for the first time in April and it was just as heartwarming.
“You can see the moment that Joseph pauses, the look on his face changes…he is thinking hard as he’s studying Carson’s arm. Then the joy that washes over him as he realizes ‘she’s just like me’. The smile and giggle followed by the unprompted desire to show his arm to Carson,” his parents wrote on Instagram.
There is no doubt that the football player has become a role model showing that nothing can stop you from doing the things you love.
