[MikeKorins]

Great job for a great cause! Awesome!

[TheMuffinGamer]

Great video, very inspiring!

[stealth061]

I am a teacher and I'd be thrilled if many of my "normal" students could communicate as good as you!

[PrincessWatcher]

Thank you so much for posting this! You are so beautiful Jodi.

[AppleReborn]

This video is a blessing and a message of hope.

[TechnologicTrek]

Very cool, calm, collected, reflective, and aware--impressive. Great grasp of reality and self. Best of luck with everything

[FastDork]

By the way, you are an exceptional speaker and are very beautiful..... :)

[StarGremlin]

You've done an awesome job with overcoming such behemoth obstacles. Your parents must be sooo proud of you :)

[FrenchFlynn]

So courageous and so Inspiring :)

[MouthyChaser]

Amazing video. You are beautiful and intelligent and the video was very informative and insightful and fun too.

[vivakun]

I really needed to? watch this today. Thank you for providing such a brilliant insight into the world of an autistic person. I wish you continued success now and into the future. Thank you for providing more detail and now I'm heading to your website.

[BoxingThief]

Really nice video, and really strong of you to do this. well done.

[GhoulFatty]

Yes - Logical assumptions need evidence in the basis or all of your so-called hypothesis would fall down flat due to the fact that logic is subjective, not objective.

[StealthPrick]

I believe the toxins in our environment, our foods, and our vaccines, are collectively causing autism in all it's forms.

[Technologicappleby]

Logic is subjective, yes, but also based on educated hunches and reality. It is logical to claim that the more vaccines an infant/toddler gets, the more of a chance of harm per capita. Especially given the fact that there are toxins such as formaldehyde, aluminum, and yes, even mercury in some of these vaccines.

[RUTHASOLT]

perhaps - cases of aspergers did skyrocket shortly after certain vaccines became mandatory.. but cases still existed prior, so your belief is flawed..

[PorkOblivious]

My belief is NOT flawed! Especially given the fact that autism in general skyrocketed (increased in frequency) concurrent with the increased amount of vaccinations given to babies and toddlers over the years! When I was a child, we required about 10 vaccines by childhood. Now it's over 30!!! SURELY, the collective amount of toxins (mercury, aluminum, etc.) in ALL those vaccines are damaging larger amounts of our immune system variant children. This is only logical.

[NastyMucher]

hi...i go to college with 2 people who suffer with autism and sometimes i find it very frustrating to deal with them, but your video removed some of my ignorance and all of my misjudgements. im really grateful you posted this video. it was wonderful. i just hope that more people will stop being prejudice. thanks again

[MantleRose]

God bless

[ScribbleRenegade]

How sweet is this one. I have epilepsy and don't have it as bad as the autism community, but bless her heart =)

[FileChiller]

THAT TOUCHED ME MAN =(

[BlockTrek]

Wow, that's really amazing. Thanks for the video, make more, there great!

[CheesySummer]

I have enjoyed many of your videos, but this one was very special. Thank you for taking the time to teach people a little bit about Autism.

[HuntingDefender]

Thank you for creating awareness about Autism and what a cute girl is she. These kids are a blessing and bring out the best in us. Blessings!

[SkittleTwig12]

Too many people in the world look at those that are different, as being bad, or wrong...

[4DSummer]

I enjoy your channel but this video, well this video I love you for. So many out there look at people with autism and think that they are, as you said mentally retarded. I went to school with many autistic kids growing up, and they were crazy smart. To the point that I was jealous. One boy, when I was in Jr. High, could tell you the the postal code to any city in Canada.

[PillPikachu]

This helps eplain more of whats going on with the autitic spectrem so Thank you for doing your best to explain :)

[CockySummer]

thanks for this video, very nice, i will look for the next one

[FashionEagle]

Thank you for bringing awareness to Autism and explaining to people what parents try to explain on a daily basis.

[wastedwindow]

Kudos for this video! Too many don't understand these "disorders" and want to slap unnecessary labels on children.

[devilsangry]

My best freind is Autistic and I feel better every time I see her.

[57symbol]

why are people so ignorant about children with special needs?

[evilangers]

huh... just when I thought I was impressed enough with this channel, this video goes and raises my appreciation to new levels. These really are things we oughtta know!

[crackedhell]

I hate the discrimination against people with Autism :(

[maset19]

But if there's one thing I learned from being socially awkward myself (and being teased about it), it's to be accepting of others, no matter how different they are... so... love y'all... ^_^

[hackeddante]

Great video, thank you for helping me understand.

[wastedglass]

Unfortunately, autism is over diagnosed as much as ADD nowadays. I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was 15 years old so I could qualify for the special education program at my school. I realized it was a misdiagnosis when I read over his report/found no mention of lack of theory of mind or social-deficit indicators. This is a foundational symptom of an ASD. I possess great social skills, empathy, and can read body language well. I'm an example of how the criteria for an ASD is limited.

[durcro]

Thank you so very much for posting this up on youtube. I have posted the link to a group I'm a member of on facebook for parents of children on the spectrum.

[watchanimeonlinefree]

I must say you are a very intelligent and articulate young lady and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you, great people are the result of the challenges they faced.

[batandret]

i like how you put it and it helps give me hope and i like the representation of autism you give and at how it you put it exactily how i would put it.

[potc6]

Hi thank you so much for sharing this, you breath a real hope into the lifes of many. Love you Jodi!!

[calldady]

To everyone out there who has it don't let it get you down.. Many successful, influential, and famous figures had what we have and that didn't stop them!

[devilglass]

theres nothing real about being normal. it's all social diplomacy. an act. and it's there to control you so you can become a mechanism of society. only when you walk a certian way, talk a certian way, will people accept you-it's a deep slavery tied to your success and reputation, with reward and punishment, praise, and persecution. the only thing that is real, the only true freedom is love. but to love, you must first love yourself. you are perfect as you are. someday you will see ;)

[fabolouscountry]

I'm not really the emotional type of guy but have to admit, this video brought tears to my eyes. Outstanding song and video.

[hackthaman]

This is great 'directness' and 'strength' in your voice.

[bestfreeonlinegamez]

I found your video by accident and am glad I did. What an intelligent young woman you are. You're parents must be so proud. -Anyway! To get the same feeling that? pacing and walking gives you, I draw. I make stipple (dot) drawings with refillable ink pens and the intense focus needed occupies my brain to the point where I think of nothing else. Finding ways to quiet my brain is theraputic. Anyway, it's just a thought.

[zipkig]

Beautiful execution that was extremely Heart-Felt.

[DORETTAVOGAN]

Let's celebrate victories, let's celebrate victoriessssssssss.. Jodi you won my heart <3

[STORCHKAROLE]

[CecileMullins]

I am trying my Hardest to raise Awareness, just as yourself.

[GhoulDouche]

I watched It, and thought immediately "damn, i have to play this by my own."

[nightmarestrength]

Thank you for sharing this awesome song & video. Today is the first day I heard about it. This brought me to tears as it hits close to our family as well. Such a powerful song in more ways than one...

[StonedChief]

Thank you for making such a beautiful song.

[NewStinker]

Beautiful, plain beautiful, I don't think there's ampther way to describe it.

[nisharivera]

[3DChaser]

How inspiring! Thank you for sharing such a gorgeous way to share the message about Autsim. It breaks my heart and offers hope at the same time.

[sandratrusty]

I will add this to my autism awareness playlist.

[NancyHolman30]

:) My Song

[reidlum]

Beautiful. I have a 9yo dtr on the spectrum....through the struggle and the pain, there is also the beauty that is she. Autism is the unique way of viewing the world that my daughter sees things....meeting in the middle is where you meet her.

[PomeroyThivierge]

You are so beautiful. This video is so important. Thank you.

[RobinetteJobin]

i like how you put it and it helps give me hope and i like the representation of autism you give and at how it you put it exactily how i would put it!!

[LangleyEmond]

Like AgateTrieuxBarca, my cosuin too is autistic that learns everything by numbers. He wouldn't remember names, just birthdays. And if you asked him a date, he would tell you right away what day of the week that? was in. For example, tell him: July 21st 1546 and he could tell you: Monday! Or something like that. Unbelievable.

[pianogirl98]

Excellent original song and wonderful singing! You are very talented, Jodigirl!

[ayaBonneville]

I think this song is wonderful it just shows so much the way people feel

[SennetJodion]

Wow that was very touching. Tears streamed down my face, and I couldn't stop crying. This girl is so cute. i love u girl

[AgateTrieuxBarca]

My cousin has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder when he was only 3 years old, I cried for weeks. We found a very good school that teaches children with this diagnos. He is now 9 and life has changed because of this school he is going to. Even when it stays hard on us, we can now see clearly.

[BaptisteTruchon]

you go girl! this video it's great! really helpful and sweet.

[LachanceArmina]

SO SWEET AND ADORABLE. Great work Jodi

[CarolVandiver]

wow whoever says anyone with autism is retarded lacks all common sense and they can go to hell where they belong.

[zapdrun]

On the topic I actually teach an autistic child violin. He's a delight to have, when he is clean, and I find it fascinating to learn how his mind works and working alternate methods of teaching him.

[DragWimp]

The best piano song, that i ever hear.

[CarolVandiver]

Great video, really got the point across.. Need more videos like this to increase understanding, especially at the public schools. And she is soooo cute >:D<

[PeterRandles]

I want to hit the like button nonstop.

[TristanGentile]

It pains me to watch it :( Jodi you are just amazing

[CameronLahey]

This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

[ArcherWilshire]

Fantastic video. Great to see this information getting out to the public about these beautiful children. More knowledge will lead to less ignorance. They aren't retarded, just learn differently.

[MiaHazon]

I SOOOOOOOOOOOOO loved this video! I am the proud mom of a 13 year old Autistic boy and I am determined to share as much information with my friends and loved ones about Autism but.. I don't want to just scream "Autism Awareness" I want to show how beautiful, funny, and unique autistic children are. Thank you Thank you Thank you for posting this video! : )

[NoirAngelique]

Wow! That was really impressive...and only 9 years old! Thank you, Jodi, for a wonderful song!
