Little boy with Down syndrome took a picture of his guardian angel with mom's phone.

A stunned mother has claimed her son with Down Syndrome took a photo from a plane of his guardian angel .

Aasher Liles, 7, whose name includes an extra A to reflect his extra chromosome, took the photo with his mum Kerri's phone during the flight.

The family were travelling from Washington, D.C. back to their home in Houston, Texas.

Kerri later posted the photo and story on Facebook : "Yesterday we were flying back to Houston from Washington and my 7 year old, who's recently become obsessed with taking pictures with our cell phones, wanted to take some pictures out of the window after I had reached across him to take one myself.

"After he took a few dozen, I took the phone back and later went through the images to delete since my storage was getting low.

"As I was deleting, I came across this one close to the middle of all of his cloud and plane wing pics."

Kerri later said"We've known for a long time that Aasher has a sixth sense about others' needs

Whether it be a hug or a smile. He just seems to gravitate to strangers in need.

"So, we've known he can see angels that surround him.

"I do believe that he captured his angel out the window that day to bring him comfort in a rather bumpy takeoff."
