If you have an Asperger son (this might work for the girls, too) go to a second-hand store, thrift shop, and buy old, junky mechanical things like wind-up clocks, old mechanical contraptions for them to dig into. And for gifts where you might be willing to spend a bit more money, buy them put-together kits like crystal radoes, small solar powered devises available at hobby shops... Also sometimes at thrift shops are old Popular Mechanics & Science magazines that can be had cheaply...
This is a very appealing video, my friend a=has asperges syndrome and no ones understands her and she doesnt get what shes doing wrong if more poeple saw this they would understand more. Your son is very lucky to have you supporting him through life he looks lovely :) x
Thank you for posting..my 8 yr old son and I watched this together...and he has just been diagnosed with AS last week..I've been reading, joining groups, and watching anything I can find on the subject. It has been like a light has gone on in heads, this is why he is acting the way he has...and there is help for him. I have a better understanding of him in general now..thanks so much for your much needed information about these little Geniuses!
Well done in putting this together, it made me cry the entire way through. My sons was diagnosed with AS very recently and watching this is just like watching my own.
Wow that was very beautiful, I never cry but the ending had me teared up a little. You sound like a caring parent so I'm sure your son will grow up to be an amazing man!
I have been told by my mates friend who is a Teacher in a school and said i have a form of aspergers! I dont know maybe so maybe not! Some of things on this video in transcription indicate that i may be suffering with certain forms of aspergers however taking into consideration what i have read there maybe a possibility. I had an MRI done 3 months ago for brain tumor and all came out well, Aspergers isn't it detected ina MRI? who knows.
I am here to learn and your thoughtful video is educational, thank you for this.Tell your son he has helped make me a little more knowledgeable tonight !
We have just watched this film, as our son who is nearly 6 is just about to be dianosed with the condition. Your son so reminds us of our Leo. What an emotional, wonderful film. We both felt tears running down our cheeks. Thank you
Nice video! Just to let you know, I have asperges, but living a very good life. I was able to get through high school, go to college and now hold a successful job where I am appreciated and valued. Good luck to you and your family.
Thank you so much for making this video! I can feel how much love you have for your son, and he is very lucky to have such a loving and supportive mother! My son is 5 1/2 and although he has not been diagnosed I highly believe he has aspergers, or is somewhere on the spectrum. You have touched me with your loving portrayal of your son! Thank you!
With this incredibly high IQ you gave your AS kid because of these early cognitive workouts has made him smarter than everyone else! But there is a problem here. You child will get used to being better than everyone else and will get bored in class because he is too smart! If you let this go unchecked, a very bad work ethic will form. Keep you kid stimulated and on track. My parents didn't do that, so now I have to. I hope this helps! :D - Liam
If you take a kid with AS at face value, you see a quirky kid that is a bit behind in certain areas of mental maturity. What does that mean? It means mental late-bloomer. This is the parent's window of opportunity to make their child with AS rise above the rest. Get him music lessons, teach him chess, etc. This is the key to get the same thing that is happening to me to happen to your child. AS kids are buckets of potential! But be warned. High IQ can make people lazy. Last post~
Teaching myself social skills was a good idea, but it made me have a mental breakdown that made me miss 6 months of school. Now back to earlier times. I was diagnosed with AS in grade 8. In that time, I was given an IQ test. Shooting up from a very low 115, my result was nearly 140. My math abilities still dragged it down though. Although it's unheard of, my IQ is still going up! I believe this is because of my AS. This is where it gets interesting, so pay attention :) Continued~
I only liked what I was interested in. Later on, they found out I had ADHD. This led me to having a lowly "High-average" IQ score on my test in grade 4. They thought I had a math disability and couldn't spell, so they marked me down very much. The actual reason was because I didn't like math or spelling (Didn't like spelling... Weird, right?). I'm taking 36 mg of methylphenidate now. In grade 9 (last year) I decided I would teach myself social skills... More on that in the next post~
Oh! Oh! I'm 15, I have Asperger's, and here is my story! Albeit a short one. When I was young, I wanted to play alone. I would run up and down a certain path in grade 1-2 and call them "Micro-challenges" promising myself rewards if I win them. Like beating my record or running up the path, or how fast I can get sand out of my hair. (Okay, the story will be a bit longer) My parents thought I played without imagination. They were wrong. I just did it all in my head haha Continued~
I may have AS (Havent been diagnosed), everything you said in that video i can relate to. One thing that wasnt on there is that i hate change in routine. If i had something planned and then it changes i want to know WHY!
im 28 and ive just been diagnosed with aspergers syndrome and up until now social situations for me have literally been a living hell! now i know that im not 'weird' i am starting to understand how to deal with it better and i feel soo much better because of my diagnosis, still cant bring myself to go to the docs but im happy to deal with this in my own way and with the help of my loving girlfriend and family
hey buddy hang in there it will all be ok. you are no different than me or anybody else. and if anybody says differnt you tell them that you are better than them. because no matter what is wrong with you. you cant help it so rock on lil man.
my son goes to the doc today and i will be bringing this up this syndrome here explains my son totaly and i love my boy more than life its self and this may help us help him have a more loving life becouse right now nobody wants him near his own sisters push him away becouse he doesnt understand why on anything
I have just been told my 5 year old little boy may have Aspergers Syndrome. He has got to ave assessments now to have a proper diagnosis. This video touched my heart because it sounds so much like my little one. Thank you x
i was diagnosed when i was 6 years old, One thing i will say is not to molly coddle your son, i was never as a child, but i know people with aspergers who were and it has effected them, to the point where they are still very much like children at the age of 22, i am 19 and act like a 15-16 year old, it is because my mother treated me as someone who could care for himself, i am not trying to tell you what to do,just some advice
The style of smile is so familiar - my 10-y-o son does the same closed-mouth pose. Beautiful minds. I'm sure it runs in my family, although my son is the only one officially diagnosed. Thanks for this video.
WoW cjtate98 thats right how i feeld wen i was 6-12 until i grove into 13 i grove away from al thos tings :) but yeah thats right how i feel like when i as smaller and i dont know about you kumari d you feeel like that i dont know how old you are ^^ (i got apsergers Syndrom
Great vid great message. My son is 7 and we're starting the Dr. Rounds. School meetings. Trying at home. I just want an answer. Until then, this video was helpful for me to try an understand. So, thanks
Thank you for posting this beauyiful video. It brought tears to my eyes. We have been struggling to get an accurate diagnosis for our 6 year old for the past several years. Aspergers has been suggested and after our own research, we agree this is likely what is going on. It has been difficult because very few people trurly understand, including many of our own friends and family. Thank you for posting this video and helping others to understand what aspergers is!
This is a very sweet video, your son is precious. My son is currently 9 & though he was originally diagnosed with PDD-NOS, he is believed to actually have Asperger's. These kiddos are such a blessing.
I was diagnosed asperger at 6 ... But my mother only told me when I've get 16 ... She never told it to anyone else cause she wanted me to have the same treatment as everyone in class, playground ... I love her so much but today ( I'm now 18 ) I can explain a part of my personality in that little thing we call Asperger syndrom ... Is it a sickness ? No ... But a difficulty, for sure.
To quote Tony Attwood "You don't suffer from Asperger's, you suffer from other people". My son (nearly 4, has been diagnosed with Aspergers recently, so we are just starting on this journey.
Your video has me in tears, thankyou so much for sharing your story. My eldest son is 5 and is currently being investigated by a variety of health professionals with Aspergers being a strong possibility- he definitely ticks a lot of the boxes. He is a happy, very intelligent and beautiful little boy, but finds certain situations difficult and sees the world a little differently. Your son is beautiful and is very lucky to have such a supportive family. I wish you all the best for the future.
Please check out a great Children's book about Autism, PDD and ADHD called 'Why Is He Different?' (Please spread the word about this unique book, tell your friends and tell me what you think about it. Big thanks!!). You can preview it on youtube profile called Monalisaknew. Just copy and paste the following sentence in youtube search window: 'Why Is He Different? (Autism Book)'
You can also buy this book on AthsePublishing(dot)com. Thank You !!
your body is not yours, God intrusted you with it.
If one kills himself in a way, he/she will keep repeating that act in the hearafter.
The Prophet sais what means... amazing is the case of the beleiver.. his matter is always good for him.. and this is obly true for the beleiver.. if good tauches him, he is thankfukness and it is good for him, and if calamity tauches him, he show patience and it is good for him.
I have asperger syndrome, but I can't stand having it. No one in my highschool understands why I act like a weirdo. I wish there was a cure for it. (I don't mean it in a bad way)
This video made me choke up. My son who will be 10 in September was diagnosed with Asperger's about a month ago. We have been looking for a way to explain it to his classmates and everything in this video rang true and was well explained we will certainly be using it as a guideline to explain to his class. Thank you so much and your little boy looks beautiful and like me I bet you wouldn't swap him for all the money in the world.
Hi, sorry that i cant speak english very well, i am from czech republic and i have a friend, my best friend, who has this aspergers syndrome. He has no friends, only me and i am very proud of being his friend. And why hes my best friend? Hes unbelieveable honest. He lies sometimes, of course, but not to me, u know, hes very glad that i want to be his friend. But I like being it, so he didnt need to. I like him very much, hes not like the others and thats beautiful, not bad.And by the way, im 14.
i have aspergers, this video just brings shame and embarassment. This video gives off the impression your sons going to die or something, pathetic video, yes lets go make a video because my son survived his cold.
Having aspergers in this cynical world must be confusing when you're growing up. Language is so metaphorical, and in the UK, so sarcastic people are now speaking in opposite!! be happy dude.
Thank you for posting this vid, what a beautiful boy!, your vid was really educational, I don't have aspergers, I have faults!, but i have recently been told my 5 year old nephew has recently been diagnosed as having aspergers, I have never met him, he lives abroad, but have seen photos, when i first saw the photos I saw an angelic beauty in him, I know now what that is. He looks similar to your boy, beautiful, with gorgeous big blue eyes.
I have to say, as a mom of an 8yr old aspie, you did a WONDERFUL job explaining! A friend of mine's son was just diagnosed this week and your video really helped her understand. Thank you!
this video made me smile and cry all at the same time i have a little boy who is 6 and watching your video made me realize that i too am a lucky lucky mom to have such a unique and wonderful little boy who i wouldnt change to "normal" if i could cause he wouldnt be himself any more i always say it takes a special person to raise a asperger and i have been confirmed again !! way to go
The video made me choke up too. My 9 1/2 year old son was diagnosed with Asperger's about a month ago and we have been looking for a relevant way to explain it to his classmates. Everything said in this video was exactly the way he feels and we will certainly be using it as a guideline for our presentation to the class.
the people with aspergers are no different than the regular people. Actually, no people with aspergers are regular people. We treat them all the same.
I'm 17 and I have Aspergers. Not to be rude, but shouldn't you teach him to not take certain parts of speech literally? Because I taught myself not to take them literally, even though I have no idea what some of them mean. Anyway, 5 stars! :D
With your attitude, your child could change the world. My son has it, and I believe that I have it as well. We are blessed with a world in our heads that we can draw super creativity from. We can see the world differently. The world needs people who can think differently. It will be the sole thing that puts him ahead in life. Make sure he knows about his GIFT and not his problem. I honestly would not change my brain for anything. It has brought me a wonderful, succesful, and happy life.
dont worry man u will be ok i have it and i am really smart just mis understood it will stableize for ya just dontgive up and work on all of your problems
My 8 year old has AS and this video is so beautiful!! Jerrid reminds me sooo much of my son and he looks just like him too, they could be twins!!!! :) Thank you!!
i just wanted to thank you for posting this. my son is currently being assesed for aspergers and it is very moving to recieve this information from a mums point of view! thanks for the awarness and education, best of luck to jarrid and all of his family love vicky, liverpool, uk
i just wanted to say thank you for postin this. my son, ryan is currently being assesed for aspergers. it is very moving to see this from a mums point of veiw! i have watched this over and overthank you ,jerrid and all of your family for sharing this. it has given me some answers that the doctors cant!
best wishes and lots of love vicky ,liverpool, uk
i just wanted to thank you for putting this video on. my son is currently beeing assesed to see if he has aspergers and judging by what i have read and seen over the past few months, he probablly has. as a mother i had never even heard of aspergers syndrome up until 2 months ago i can not begin to tell you what it meant to watch this. it is so comfoting to have your point of veiw as a mum. i thank you and jerrid for the education and awarness of this disability. from vicky liverpool uk xxxxx
Jerrid has such a beautiful sparkle in his eyes! Your photo's show what a tallented, kind hearted and loving boy you have raised. I have a 4 year old son who is in the process of an Aspergers diagnosis, he also has those gorgeous bright eyes. I understand some days are tough but your video has reminded me that above all to love, respect and support my son unconditionally. Thank-you forever.
HI ditto to wot "ctnbirrngr" Said, i too had to wipe a tear away, as i'm currently fighting to get a diagnosis, as i know that something is different, but your video is so like my son, so normal/adorable to look at but so much more complex under the surface. THANK YOU
What a lovely video!! Thank you för letting me understand a mothers love for a special boy! Many of the written words are important even for parents whith "normal kids" so much love for a little life!! THANKYOU!!
What do you mean by "normal kids". We autistics are normal. We're just unique. There's no reason to shun us as many in society do. You may not realise how offensive that phrase was. I am simply asking you to call them non-autistics rather than "normal"
that was very ignorant !! how dare you ! this little boy as aspergers he is not retarded and more then likely smarter then you people with aspergers learn to change behaivours with a little help
but you cant fix stupid !! nor can you fix ignorance
srsly, I rly hate sum ppl who are sterotypical about AS. I myself have it, but one time sum guy who's a psychiatrist suggested i do ''chess club'' and other nerdy-ass shit. its fuckin disgusting how ppl think AS kids are ''little professors'' :(
It's a very good and beautiful video. Quite informative too.
The only "negative" comment I have is that you seem to be limiting your son when you say that without support there's only a slim chance of independence.
Give your son more credit please. It's hard enough when our abilities limit us without our families doing it too.
Other than that, well done. Perhaps this will promote understanding.
If you do more, how about something showing your son's special abilities and uniqueness.
Beautiful Photos. Looks like a close and supportive family and that makes all the difference. Read "Look Me In the Eye" by John Elder Robison - fascinating book! God bless you all!
God all mighty!! Where are all these mean ass sons a' bitches coming from making totally unwarranted and generally shit for brain remarks??!! There's one idiot that I've read here who equevilates "Asperger Syndrome" to being "Emo". I've never heard or read such assanigness before!! Asperger's is a gift your born with. Usually granting you excelled intelligence, great empathy, and a lack of racial prejudice. Side effects are eccentric behavior. Being Emo is a youth culture trend one chooses!
this is such a great vid theres a girl in grade 6 she has aspergers i try to talk 2 her and make conversaition but shes really shy its easier every day more and more we r becoming rlly good friends and this helps me understand wat shes going through a little better
I feel like a see myself in this video other then i was 13 when i was diagnosed with Aspergers i am now 20 and i feel that looking at this video this kid is also a Lucky child to have a mother and family that is caring and Nurturing the sad thing is alot of Aspergers kids are either sadly abused or end of taking their lives becuase they feel that its the only way out i was that way until i was properly diagnosed i feel that being a Aspy is a not easy and has alot of hurtles that are hard to pass
Hello i am deeply moved by this video i am 20 and i also have aspergers and let me tell u it was no easy road to getting to where i am. if i didnt have a supportive family i would of been go long ago let me tell u aspergers is a very difficult thing to see we may look "normal" but in a reality we are special we see things differently and more complex for example of a Aspy is Bill Gates he has aspergers believe it or not see where determination can get u all i have to say it be by ur sons side a
my 3 year old has been reffered coz his nursery suspect aspergers, previously to this i never heard of aspergers! u made me realise iv been unfair to my son by wishing him normal...
tonight you really made me understand and feel some things. i thank you a lot for that and i wish you and to your child only the best in the world to happen. i so admire you for this initiative. Ioana from Romania...
i am speachless.. it was such a beautiful video..you made me realise some things..you are a great parent and i admire and also envy you for your strenght! your child will certain be somebody!! In my country there are a lot of kids that have this thing but nobody finds this syndrome..and they live unhappy and people dont understand..its so important that people know more about it and try to understand! we are different, but we are so alike
Love your video, and the song fits it perfectly. I have a 10 year old son who has AS. Your son reminds me a lot of him (except for the pic where he's holding the bunny. My son cannot stand the scent of animals!) Wish you lived closeby - I get the feeling that they would be best friends!
How wonderful that you see what your son can and will be, not what he can't and might not be able to do!! You are an amazing Mom... and your right he is worth it :)
What a lovely video. My 7 year old son has just been diagnosed with aspergers last month after a 4 year battle with doctors, specialists and health professionals.. good luck to you and your family.
My teacher in school was showing us a movie, and he was like: autism, to have a child like that is bad. And I was thinking to myself: ??????
I went home after school, my autistic son just came home from his school. My heart went open for him, I closed him in my arms. Full love, just full love. Please let him be the person he is.
in regards to the comment that was made about these children getting special treatment, you do not have a clue what these children go through so you have no bussiness saying something you know nothing about
at the end of the day, theyre really nothing but kids, and whether they have a "disorder" or not they are just normal human beings and deserve to be treated as such. Not as "inferior", of course, but not as "VIP treatment" either. get my point?
also, you have no right to say that I "know nothing about" something, for I can only make that decision. I can also say whatever I want, and if I wanted to say that then I pretty darn could have.
First of all I want to say thank you sooo much for making this video my 9 year old son Jared has aspergers he was diagnosed at 5 and me and my son have felt so alone in this, I have just began to try to explain to him that he is different and he thinks different then other kids and this video help us both so thank you.
not being insensitive, but i think it's unfair that kids with mental issues or disabilities are treated as "special". at school you'd probably get suspended for making fun of a disabled kid but only mildly chastised for making fun of a non-disabled kid. i'm not saying that it's okay to make fun of people, but at the end of the day, they're just plain old kids, and they don't deserve lavish attention.
I Aspergers syndrome and im not rly considered "special" i am discriminated at school all the time for my disability to understand how to fit in with the rest of the school, i need a teacher to sit with me in lessons as i find it difficult to stay calm when given a particularly hard piece of work, or when the other children are shouting across the classroom, when i cannot stay calm, i panic and am not able to concentrate on the work. i do not consider it being special i consider it being cursed.
even though you are an unwanted waste of space to society, I agree ass burgers are useless and only make trouble. However I still couldnt understand you through your incoherent mumbling and hand flapping and the dicks in your mouth. go cut yourself on a park bench you emo fag.
Seriously, why don't you go jump off of a bridge. You are a worthless piece of trash with no value to society. These kids are probably more intelligent than you'll ever hope to be.
all children all special my son has aspergers and he is unique and my son needs to have some extra attention because he doesnt get social cues like other kids perhaps before you make comments like you just did you should read up on the disorder you dont walk in my shoes nor my sons and my son is not just a plain old kid and never will be and that is what makes him as you say "special"
Why do people insist on judging this video in a bad way? If you have nothing nice to say about it, move on! This is a parent sharing her sons experience with the world. I love it and appreciate the work that went into it! Well done!
I have aspergers and have personally never had trouble with interpreting metaphores, sarcasm and the like. Quite the opposite, I've been writing lyrics and poetry since a very young age and excel at learning languages and impersonating accents. Most of the other things I can identify with, though.
My son of 15 has Asperger and he doesnt understand metaphores. Most people with Asperger dont, so i guess you are lucky :) Good to hear it can be different.
I have a 11 year old son with Asperger's. But, I find this video odd. Your son didn't write those words about his condition. Yet, you chose to write and present this as if he did. In fact, the text reads like a text book interpretation of AS. Not your voice, nor his voice.
I guess this is more a promotional video for tolerance for people who haven't heard of AS. And obviously it is a tribute to your son.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. My son is 7 and has Asperger's... and very similar to your little guy. :)

If you have an Asperger son (this might work for the girls, too) go to a second-hand store, thrift shop, and buy old, junky mechanical things like wind-up clocks, old mechanical contraptions for them to dig into. And for gifts where you might be willing to spend a bit more money, buy them put-together kits like crystal radoes, small solar powered devises available at hobby shops... Also sometimes at thrift shops are old Popular Mechanics & Science magazines that can be had cheaply...

I would run up and down a certain path in grade 1-2 and call them "Micro-challenges" promising myself rewards if I win them. Like beating my record or running up the path, or how fast I can get sand out of my hair. (Okay, the story will be a bit longer) My parents thought I played without imagination. They were wrong. I just did it all in my head haha Continued~

i was diagnosed when i was 6 years old, One thing i will say is not to molly coddle your son, i was never as a child, but i know people with aspergers who were and it has effected them, to the point where they are still very much like children at the age of 22, i am 19 and act like a 15-16 year old, it is because my mother treated me as someone who could care for himself, i am not trying to tell you what to do,just some advice

Aspergers has been suggested and after our own research, we agree this is likely what is going on. It has been difficult because very few people trurly understand, including many of our own friends and family. Thank you for posting this video and helping others to understand what aspergers is!

I love her so much but today ( I'm now 18 ) I can explain a part of my personality in that little thing we call Asperger syndrom ... Is it a sickness ? No ... But a difficulty, for sure.

With your attitude, your child could change the world. My son has it, and I believe that I have it as well. We are blessed with a world in our heads that we can draw super creativity from. We can see the world differently. The world needs people who can think differently. It will be the sole thing that puts him ahead in life. Make sure he knows about his GIFT and not his problem. I honestly would not change my brain for anything. It has brought me a wonderful, succesful, and happy life.

It's a very good and beautiful video. Quite informative too.
The only "negative" comment I have is that you seem to be limiting your son when you say that without support there's only a slim chance of independence.
Give your son more credit please. It's hard enough when our abilities limit us without our families doing it too.
Other than that, well done. Perhaps this will promote understanding.
If you do more, how about something showing your son's special abilities and uniqueness.

not being insensitive, but i think it's unfair that kids with mental issues or disabilities are treated as "special". at school you'd probably get suspended for making fun of a disabled kid but only mildly chastised for making fun of a non-disabled kid. i'm not saying that it's okay to make fun of people, but at the end of the day, they're just plain old kids, and they don't deserve lavish attention.
Kingcobrasaurus 3 years ago
I Aspergers syndrome and im not rly considered "special" i am discriminated at school all the time for my disability to understand how to fit in with the rest of the school, i need a teacher to sit with me in lessons as i find it difficult to stay calm when given a particularly hard piece of work, or when the other children are shouting across the classroom, when i cannot stay calm, i panic and am not able to concentrate on the work. i do not consider it being special i consider it being cursed.

I have a 11 year old son with Asperger's. But, I find this video odd. Your son didn't write those words about his condition. Yet, you chose to write and present this as if he did. In fact, the text reads like a text book interpretation of AS. Not your voice, nor his voice.
I guess this is more a promotional video for tolerance for people who haven't heard of AS. And obviously it is a tribute to your son.
