"She is non verbal but this doesn't stop her loving and enjoying life - although her disability comes along with challenges and barriers and she will need the support of her parents and support workers all her life."
The pair feature in the Autism Angels UK clip which has already been seen more than 45,000 times on Facebook.
Added Laura: "Georgia has a wicked sense of style and loves nothing more than make up and nice clothes.
