I am nineteen and just three weeks ago i was diagnosis with autism and i think this is a good video and the song is so so good thanks

There are many kinds of Autistic people. Not all of them are rapists; I never though they were all rapists. All Autistic people have trouble with communication and empathy. Some Autistic people have more trouble with these problems with than others. There are some Autistic people where things come easy and they have many friends and get married. All Autistic people are different and there is no way of knowing what one will be like; I learned this the summer I met my husband.

This video is amazing, and the facts are oh so true. I'm not familiar with the song, but I'm all to familiar with the autism spectrum. I took my son to a Christmas parade tonight, while other kids were excited about the "rescue vehicles" and their sirens, not my son. He plugged his ears, bent down, started rocking, loudly humming and BEGGING to go home. I so wanted to shout at those people to stop playing with their sirens. I miss mommy hugs too.

great video!! this really made me consider it. now that i think about a couple of my friends that i thought were just trying to b different or just didnt wanna commit or something r more likly hav autism: ( but there still the same old friends: ) does anyone know the song?

I think it's great that you're trying to raise awareness of autism, but your statement that it robs them of their minds and personality is doing more harm than good. Autism comes in many forms and I believe one of the biggest problems is lack of understanding. People treat my two siblings like there invalid or not a real person and this attitude is spread my messages such as this. We need to be focusing on proper education. Besides I think my siblings have more personality than anyone I know.

Before toddlers that recieved 14 vaccinations, autism wasn't really common. Now it is so moronic all these vaccinations that contain MERCURY (Which causes Autism!) I know parents that have given their children ALOT of vaccinations and their kids are unhealthy, weak imunnesystems, ear infections, and have been diognonsed with autism, but then I know kids who havn't had vaccinations who are perfectly healthy and are RARELY sick.

Ted Bundy had Autism.

It doesn't take their mind. The mind is still there.

i love this thankyou

if people could only understand what it is like when you see your child or grandchild dealing with this "illness" My grandchildren are my heart's delight, and my grand daughter has pdd nos, my grandson is also in question with this puzzle called autism. Thanks for the awesome video!!

I've been having problems since I was 6, I'm now 16 and I was proven to have aspergers syndrome a month ago. The government should put more funding into autism charities because it's basicly a wasted life if no one helps and if the facts I've just read were true that's alot of wasted lives. I have an IQ of 140 and I just got A*'s for my exams yet my attendance at school was only 40%, imagine what I could have done with 100% attendance...

Yes,thats how I feel, someone took my child's mind and her personality,thankyou for your time posting.

Amazing video, really touching intro to it by the way.

(Con't.) So, I really would appreciate it if you...DIDN'T...put words in my mouth.

I never claimed that this movie was supposed to impress me, now, did I? I posted this comment to serve as an advocate for autistic people that seek respect rather than a cure. The fact is, this video has curist overtones, whether it was intended or not. Otherwise, I would have stayed away. Nor did I claim to know how he envisioned his child. I just know he did not envision his child to be autistic. Only autistic parents seem to really even contemplate the possibility beforehand.

This video was not posted to impress you. What makes you think you know how people envision their children?

I do accept my child for who he is and try to give him every possible advantage to be who he is. This video is for people that do not know a lot about autism. You seem to be very high functioning which is great, but there are many autistic children that do not have a voice of there own. If you have any suggestions of groups in the houston area I would love to hear about them. This video was to inform that's all.

were did you get the beganning form?

i agree with malfoyfemdom. there's a lot of shit happening on this world, but when you accept things like they are, it will be a lot easier

I am an autistic adult. I do not want to be cured. I am not impressed. Try accepting your autistic child as he is? Finding compassionate, individualized interventions to allow him to get by in autistic society without changing who he is? He may not be who you thought he was, but he is still a person and still just as valuable. He is just different from what you envisioned him.

Great video! Thanks.....
