Re: Autism Foundation Manager Calls Kids Retards on CBS Program

[officer436]

I'm so happy when people post videos like this... One of my friends from high school worked with artistic children.. getting to be involved in some of these children's lives really opened my eyes to see what amazing kids they were and I'm blessed to have been involved in their lives even if just for a little while... They made me a better person

I don't know anything about dinosaurs but this kid is insanely cute. He's so serious about those dinosaurs!

[polkadotpants]

What an ace little guy! Can you tell him he's right about the brachiosaurus, it's the coolest :) Great video mum! x

This is truly a gift of a son. Pay no attention to all the idiots who have given the posts below mine several thumbs-down signs (why?). I am on the spectrum myself, and this sort of thing gives me hope for the future in terms of society's understanding.

OMG, I can't believe how awesome he is! I followed your link from your blog. AWESOME.....I can't wait to hear more from him.

You can check out my girl on my youtube. She sings alot. My favorite song is "In a World of my Own".

I work with kids who have autism and I love this video. The spectrum is so vast, most people hear autism and they think "Rainman". Your son is too cute and what a great response to Adam's comments! Treat others the way you want to be treated!!!!

[jasonknoll]

He's is the smartest little guy I have ever seen in my whole life!!!

[amanda81374]

How precious he is...Thank you for posting :)

[hsoomal]

god bless, great response, im glad you stood up like that and made this video, thank you

[frumpytuin]

i have a autism but not much. Adam is just plain stupid. lol

[loekskywalker]

"My "retard" son most likely has an IQ three times what this guys is"

WOW..That was the excact phrase (without your son) I had when I saw the BB vid comment. Even though I myself have Asperger Syndrome and I felt embarrassed and insulted by his remark. Let alone he's even on a payroll of an organization helping kids with autism.

[knmagic]

He is so cute. I hope my son can read like your soon. This'll teach that Adam to research, think before he speaks.

[jerseymilo]

Good JOB!!! What a smart little man!!! Hopefully Adam watches this and sticks his foot further in his mouth!

As a mother of a 7 year old PDD-NOS, your son brings tears to my eyes! What a great reader!!! And Adam is an ignorant ass! Plain and simple! Obviously he doesn't know much about the organization and it's members which he represents!

[Balkita]

Wow! So smart and what a cutie!

[monkeymemcan]

Aww he is adorable and what a fantastic response!

Great response to this ignorant person on Big Brother. My son also has Autism.

I am committed to increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders and to diminishing the stigma and misunderstanding that has surrounded autism in the past. We must continue to move forward to foster greater understanding of autism and other disabilities.

Spread the word about how great these kids are and how iresponsible CBS is !!!!

I will never watch another CBS show

[GavyOly]

Makes me cry...not because I feel sad but because when I watch this it is the closest thing to...it is watching a miracle. My six year old son is autistic (pdd/nos). I am not a religious person but for the last six years I have come to realize that these children are gifted to us. They are remarkably special. Somewhere in their being they have got it figured out.

[yrulokin4me]

What a little sweetie!! I can't believe that someone who works with kids with autism would say that about them....group them like that. I thought it was so cute when he said he wanted to be done...my little guy does that too.

[hannahjiyan]

what a cutie,

adam is a stupid stupid man.

either that or he needs to watch his mouth

or change his thinking

go mom for retorting in a smart way, that was not even offensive.. but spoke a message straight into our hearts.

thank you,

God bless you, your son and your family

[strangesttrip]

You've got a little smarty pants! :) Great response!

[TheElliottFamily]

How cute and cool is your kiddo?! Great response vid. Thanks for sharing mommy.

[dinahkcm]
