This is a powerful video because it is a reflection of our lives. We have an 8 yr old autistic son and can relate to your experiences, your feelings and what you go through day by day. Some people have no idea of what it is like dealing with autism as a family.Your son is precious. He reminds me a lot of our son. Our prayers are with your family and the entire autistic community. I appreciate your willingness to share.

Wow, I am in AWE over MOST of these comments. I am a special education teacher who loves all my students (with every type of disability including Autism). I look at the positive characteristics each one of my students presents, and they all are so perfect in their own way as is any child. I am REPULSED as well as UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE THAT ARE JUST IGNORANT! I am sorry you just are not OPEN AND EDUCATED ENOUGH to understand this.

You have a beautiful child, who isn't stupid, just different. Being autistic is like having a beautiful voice, but unable to sing Inside your child is very gifted, ignore those ignorant jerks out there.

Thanks for sharing this video, I am taking a degree program in disability studies, I am writing a paper on why mercy killing is really murder. I must look at the social and medical modle of disability. I must get back to writing my paper ...

i am almost 21 and i lived with my autistic stepsister for most of my life, she is 4 years younger. my stepdad started feeding her a non-glutin diet(within her routine of course) several years ago and she improved greatly. she stopped being so "unreasonable"(if that is what u would call it) and became much more calm. stick in there!

The narration on this concerns me. Being autistic won't necessarily keep your son from experiencing those things you want for him. I'm autistic, and I fell in love, got married, held successful jobs. I'll never be able to live alone, but I don't want to anyway. I even took piano lessons for 10 years! The trick is to find the things he's good at and build on them. There are "normal" people who aren't happy. Normal doesn't equal happy. Just help him find his niche in life and he'll be happy too.
