Autistic Boy on The Price is Right

[TheLameguest]

i wish people were not mean, because if you have a disability or something it doesn't mean your stupid, no ones perfect!

[billa107]

This is why I prefer Bob than Drew. Bob handles this way better than Drew would.

[timepoet77]

@Headbanger142 I, myself, have Asperger's Syndrome so I totally agree with you all the way around the board.

[Quesic]

I am proud to have autism :D

[Sonamy444]

I have autism as well. We are smart...but we have an odd way of showing it, that's all. :)

[SydneyJoLynn]

Fun note of the day? John works at Walt Disney World in the Haunted Mansion.

[rexerexer66]

i have a mild case of autism ( asperger syndrom)

[DeadRaymanWalking]

And I thought I'd be the first autistic contestant on TPIR. When I went down to visit my aunt in California (when she used to live in the area). Me and my family tried to get on TPIR (months before Bob Barker retired), but we weren't successful getting on. And I had the perfect shirt to wear on TPIR...oh well.

[UpperDeckFan29]

My brother is autistic and has assburgers. I love seeing videos of people like this on the show.. Why?? My brother LOVES this show ;) god bless tht kid and smart for taking the money..

[Themaryjwanna69]

I love this kid :']

[PsychedelicSlayer88]

That's just beautiful. It really shows that autistic people aren't stupid like most people think. I really teared up at this video

[Equinegurl96]

This is so cute , a dream come true for him . :D

[peanut112501]

I have Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism and I think this was great to see Bob is a wonderful host and I miss seeing him on TPIR.

[AntiMatterXD]

My brother is autistic... He so smart though...

He got 100% on two Algebra 2 exams.

With no help and the only kid to get 100% in the whole school... There's 1000 plus kids In the school.

[aerohawkproductions]

this makes me happy inside

[HeroicNerd]

Wow...

[MrDoctorProfessorWho]

I would say he passed on the car because he wasn't comfortable driving. My son, who is also autistic, made the very adult decision not to drive.

[cclluuttcchh]

i was having the worst day until i saw this.

[jim123156]

He works at h mansion

[pokedance15]

I have autism too and I'm level 33 on the facebook version of the

show LOVE IT!!!!

[kidfrombrooklyn66]

I might have it too.

[Frenchfry147]

good for him

[toomeyjt10]

John made it to the showcase-

[gibsonman5]

This kid John is one of my friends! He is so sweet and totally knows everything about The Price Is Right lol. I'm so happy for him!

[brownies4you]

What a beautiful soul.

[trivia212005]

I too have Autism.

[440restsux]

lol @ 6:35 Bob ''Here hold your number 2 for luck'' Uhh no thanks.

[robertmastroianni]

My nephew has Aspergers............he is very smart, too

[robertmastroianni]

@Headbanger142 My nephew has Aspergers...He is very smart, too

[wingman123]

Well did he make it to the showcase? Ughhhh

[kingmallow]

how much do we have invested in this... a lot of money.... here you go {jerk producers} :D

[reddog241]

@Headbanger142 You are right in fact, Mozart was autist and wrote a whole song at 3 years old.

[xxThatsEpicMannxx]

@headbanger142 Thank you for saying "have autism" and not "autistic". It brings comfort to my soul that you would identify someone as having a disability, instead of saying they are the disability.

[Haruther]

Hold your number two for luck! LOL

[nicka727]

I have autism and I started watching Price Is Right when I was 8 years old till I was about 20 or so and when I was in school, I taped it once in a while.

[zombienoob12]

@starblinky it's okay I have a friend who has a little bit of autism but I'm always gonna be his friend

[starblinky]

i have autism

[TVLubber]

@starblinky

Ditto!

[babyty84]

so what happened! did he go to the showcase!!

[ScrappyMagoo]

@babyty84 i'll ask him tomorrow

[stoner19860502]

Smart guy for taking the money!

[rebelseedbearer]

Go babe your the best!

[princeofdarknessxyz1]

@rebelseedbearer did not know people with autism can drive cars

[ILuvKeonReid]

I Cry To This Video... I Can Relate... My Son Is Autistic... He's Very Smart In His Own Way... I Smile Every Time He Improves...

[swag1man]

@ILuvKeonReid almost makes me want to capitalize all of my words

[princeofdarknessxyz1]

@ILuvKeonReid i just hate it when bob rushes teh contestant...drew is better

[rejectofsoul24]

ok, I LOVE THIS KID

[fullbag50]

5:07 'Can I keep this?' - That is awesome. He knows he can get money any time, and it ain't special. A momento though from the game you played on TPIR...you can't put a value on that.

[kindredex]

@fullbag50

Perfectly said. My son has Asperger's and sometimes the smallest thing is more special to him than what the rest of us consider a "big" item.

[mattjsrules]

I'm Autistic too lol

[PatrioticPirate]

I hope he kicked everybody's BUTT!

[gkmatthew1982]

any one else notice the 7.48$ turned to 8.48 when he passed the buck??

[pokedance15]

@gkmatthew1982 it's part of the game one small item is one dollar shorter so if correct it'll be great

[motleyhar]

I wonder how he did in the end, he played the game well.

[GreenDeathFlavor]

6:35 "Hold your number two for luck." XD

[73gossipboy]

winning $3500 is great for him..autistic people are very smart

[73gossipboy]

winning $3500 is great for him..

[robdizzle5280]

God bless him!!!

[jasN86]

LOL! GO AUT-BOY!

[travman365]

My brother has asburgers a form of autism and hes as smart as a whip!

[bwolfe1980]

autism people are smart people i know a couple of them

[Dragonas77]

I have Aspergers too. I love they let him on and didnt discriminate.

[bowlerdude34]

haha did anyone else notice the price changed at 4:28?

[JOM123456]

I am autistic and this kid is definitely autistic. We autistics can spot each other a mile away.

[ryancooke78]

I think he should have given the money to the guy in the audience!!

[1991gunit]

Well he is smarter than 95% of the contestants that have been on the show. They usually go for it and come up empty handed. Temptation would kill anyone.

[nintendofan4life]

I have asperger's syndrome and I've been watching TPIR since I was a kid, and I would really like to be on it ever since my grandma passed away...

[calum198]

im autistic

[pinkpiglet7681]

very nice kid

[JOM123456]

How do yall know the kid is autistic? I am also autistic and he does have a lot of the mannerisms down.

[Brian567899]

@Headbanger142 I feel bad for people like you with the hatred you go through. Just remember that you are special and every other person born with either a mental/physical illness is amazing.

[shanmer391]

I hav a form of autism called Asperger's syndrome

[TheCatlover192]

@shanmer391 so do i

[blozier2006]

@shanmer391 that makes two of us

[WheelWatcher12345]

@shanmer391 me too.

[samauripizzacats101]

@shanmer391 i knew a guy with aspergers who was a complete math genius. He tutored me through trigonometry i tutored him through english and history

[rollarcoastergirl]

@shanmer391 my brother has that too, he is REALLY smart, I bet you are too :)

[saagrith]

@shanmer391 so do i. which is a mild form of autism, and varies alot.

[MultiCocoNutz]

@Headbanger142 definetly! my lil bro is autistic as well, and hes in grade 1, but hes a genius! thanks for pointing that out!

[XanamiaqueenX]

aww god bless him

[MrNumpty47]

@Headbanger142 ha u fail

[mrsaburama]

they r smart my little brother has autism hes not one of the great people like guy on rain man or something but he aint stupid

[TheSaciarestalocura]

He was really cute..

[treehugger842]

bob looks like a great guy

[lakersfan110293]

I have autism too.

[ssean759]

anyone know if the other dude beat 80 cents?

[snk9045]

@Headbanger142 im rooting for everybody who has autism, cuz my friend has autism too.

[Cakerolled]

@Headbanger142

Yes, as smart as my calculator.

[grrlogin]

Great showmanship of how not to be greedy. Be thankful :) Video made my day

[darthstarkiller1912]

I myself have autism as well. I am so jealous this guy got to be on the show, with Bob Barker too! Now there's Drew Carey. He's okay, but nobody will be another Bob Barker.

[darthstarkiller1912]

I myself have autism as well. I am so jealous this guy got to be on the show, with Bob Barker too! Now there's Drew Carey. He's okay, but nobody will be another Bob Barker.

[Velox415]

Ended too early! Did he win?

[2004theraver]

I think the price is right and autism go together. I sed to have an Aspie roommate and he just way crazy over that show

[cheapsilverware]

My H.S. prom king was autistic. He had the same support as this kid did.

[kiwali]

what is autistim any way! its just a lable.  you cando what ever you want and you will be sucessful!!

[msnickalasha]

Awww......he's so AWSOME!

[BARNEYFATSWALT]

i'M SO HAPPY FOR HIM!

[Americanautistic]

@Headbanger142 Yes, I agree with you... See, I have Asperger's and a lot of people think that..

[StaupEimer]

@Headbanger142 Most autistic people are savants though, so they are only smart in one area. BUT, they are extremely smart in this area.

[asdfqwer90]

Autistic people have an amazing brain capacity and are exceptionally smart at memorizing facts.

[thedeadlyrabbit]

@AntiVaccine Autism isn't a disease, you can't catch it, I have it, and don't feel diseased at all

[CharlesStudios]

I feel good for that kid

[prol1fic]

did he win the showcase showdown?

[classiccartoons14]

Bob is holding his number 2 lol

Good for the kid though.

[boz987]

Should have kicked Ezekiel a couple hundred.

[madamerotten]

Bob Barker is one of the most genuinely nice people I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

[kreeboy411]

Thats awesome!!

[o0TreyRoyer0o]

Lolz the annoying thing for me about having autism is not making eye contact all the time :P

[destructionman1]

I'd rather have that car model than that car.

[wdm1219]

As a parent of a child who is very mild on the autism scale, I can only say it did my heart good to see this clip. Like me, my child enjoys game shows as well. I had not seen this clip previously, but I really have to tip my cap to Mr. Barker. He did not ask the young man what number he would have chosen, at the risk of causing upset. He reminds me of me a little bit, I'd be more thrilled with the game props than the prizes too!

[HeilleZanAllezVous]

I couldn't stop smiling. The way he was "passing the buck" was so cute. He obviously seen the show thousands of times. He was happier with a game show prop than 3,000 bucks. I wonder what happenned to that "2" sign?

[sealurfate]

i take it he didnt make it to the showcase?

[DrLove0378]

Actually, he did make it to the showcase -- but he didn't win, he wasn't close enough.

[BeeGeesFan]

John Was Great On The Price Is RIght I'm Happy He Got Called Up To Play A Pricing Game.

I'm Autistic Too.

From Kirsten

[proudlatinonyc]

Bob the perfect gentleman...classy

[ChinSackVids]

@AntiVaccine This guy is actually RIGHT! Besides the vampire and werewolf thing. But yes they do contain these things. The government's way of thinning the population.

[eaglesfreak911]

thats really cool john your awesome!

[jls1114]

vacines are no lnger the issue

[birthdaymatt]

PRETTY SMART KID!

[amy617747803]

how did you know he was Autistic?

[bullrose5]

Just a great, feel good story. I'm happy he won $3,000. :)

[funeralhomepersicom]

5 stars because it seems like johns dream came true and that maes me smilen :)

[mnmfreak502]

ended too early. good for him tho!!

[quadrupleplay]

We get golden moments like this...but now these golden contestants are banned from the studio, and instead we get Loretta and Derek (10/30/09)? Bombard CBS headquarters with these clips.

[kaylinsvlog]

this kid rocks! go john!

[bagelboi66]

I'm so pleased that people with autism and autism spectrum disorders are finally beginning to lead dignified and productive lives.

To learn more check out autismspeaks dott org

[bnooney87]

Did he win??

[terror0earth]

I think i know him.. o.o

[snower5554]

im autistic maybe i should go on this

[cutterTML]

Hey, same here buddy, good to see a highly functioning autistic user on YouTube.

[heine71]

Who's the announcer? It's not Rich Fields!

[robcas123]

it was randy west

[KoraggRules]

i know it not but i think it was abt after Rod passed

[kaz271]

hu died

[penguinsfan626]

I'm a little autistic and I'm good at The Price Is Right!

[silversatisfaction]

I agree Autistic people are very smart. I would have went for the car tho.

[Falconhawk123]

I see it as a communication disorder.

[BanksLeeProductions]

OMG, I also worked with him at Disney! Such a sweet guy.

[simon726]

Same here!!!!!!

[aldiakaroofus]

5'08 "Can I keep it?" LOL

[bwayguy17]

ahhh!!!! I work with him at disney!!!! He told me he was on the price is right, and he told me what to search for, but i didn't believe him. he's really a nice guy, but his autism causes him to wander all over the place, which means he drops his position.

[13cma]

Most autistic people are geniuses, they just get sidetracked occasionally.

[CactusRose33]

Ahhhh, I can start to feel sensory overload starting when he jumped on stage and everyone started screaming.

[InuyashaNaraku]

With autism or not, he is probably by far one of the greatest contestants that they had on the show.

[beastlyboy1995]

good job

[ustack21]

just because he is autistic doesn't mean he is profoundly affected with autism. some autistic people are sometimes found to be very gifted, and can also communicate well with others. Its called therapy.

[23Lbj23Cavs23]

autistic people are said to be geniuses. and that they can be computer geniuses

[Hiphoppingmichelle]

thats awesome he got a car

kool

[thissucss]

I didn't see him win a car!!!!

[travis7310]

The announcer is definitely Art Sanders, for all of those asking. I had to listen closely, and I know for sure that it's him.

[tanklugz]

fyi giddyswine, he is autistic. he's my cousin.

[GoatBlaat]

Even your cousin? Lucky cousin you've got then, coming into a gameshow :)

[giddyswine]

he's not autistic. if you've ever met someone with autism you'd know.

[GoatBlaat]

Not all people show autism that clear.

[jwgreek8606]

who was that announcing?

[twotonedearly]

Might be Burton Richardson announcing

[toomeyjt10]

art ???

was not art james

[NDW85]

I am guessing that is either Don Bishop or Art sanders announcing.

[26T27A]

thats cool

[KaralynnMegan]

He's adorable. :)

[xxDarkAwpxx]

He's cool!

[valoguy]

Oh come on....show the rest. Did he win the showcase showdown? And if so, did he win the showcase?

[Plainoldkassam57]

wow thats so cool my brother is autistic and thats so cool how he got that far

[GrooveMasta]

Me Too I'm Mildly Autistic. Way da go Kid!! Big Ups!!

[rodney1279]

I am Autistic also

[jessisamadepressed]

Im happy for him... he looks like he is going to explode with happiness

[jhwink]

Well I've never seen anybody sad on TPIR. Unless they lose of course.

[shrontzy]

Ignorance is bliss.

[Angryjon]

I'm autistic too!

[Angryjon]

I'm autistic too.

[msteelmsteel]

I am full on autistic.

i take thorazine and grain alcohol daily to control my spasms and outbursts, this kid is a hero.

[bbllqt219]

id be pissed if i was ezikial. hes like no! but ezikial gave him the right number!! i know hes autistic but still... id be mad. its $500!!! i would have wanted it.

[halopidgeot]

But would you have given it up?
