  • autism speaks is just a bunch of tyrants who think your child is just defuctant and needs to be cured of it and I despise them because of their portrayal of autism as a fate worse than having a child with a terminal illness and calling it a health crisis that needs to be stopped. I have aspergers and I will never want to be "fixed" or "normalized" of my autism because I am who I am and I will be what I want to be with the help of my friends and family. Autism speaks can go to hell!

  • I have a non verbal learning disability and I feel very connected to people with Autism. I don't understand with the parents of Autistic children choose to be so pitiful. You strive to present your child in the worse possible way for your own personal gratification. Do you crave social acceptance more than you value your child ?Every child deserves to be loved and accepted for the whole person that they are not demeaned and scorned by their own parents.

  • Brilliant statement.

  • nice video. God bless you and your family, i know it's an everyday battle, but it's worth it.my son is 6, also on the ASD.

  • Do actually still people belive in this myth, that autistics are living in their own little world, like in a box maybe?

  • Apparantly, they do so. Parents are way more likely to desperatly try to "remove" autistic symptoms than to take a closer look in order to understand their child´s perception of the world, way of thinking and their passions. It´s time to rethink autism. Most people still choose the easy way.

  • i cried when i saw this video i have an 8 year old as well with autism and its a battle everyday, but true everyday she takes a closer step in to our world, God bless you and your family, JOB WELL DONE!!!!

  • Nice video. Good luck and God bless you and your beautiful family!

  • Dude, what is your problem? Four replies in eight minutes!!!!

    Guess you have your own problems.

  • don't call me dude, dumbass, I'm not sure why it replicated itself, oops

  • "Don't call you dude, dumbass."

    No problem asshole.

    Have a GREAT autistic fucking day counting your match sticks.

    Way to win friends and influence people.

  • The vid is good...

    The argument is *STUPID* on *ALL* sides.

    Autism is what it is... IT IS.

    We have to live with it and those who have it have to live with it, harder...

    Now, children why not STOP arguing about how bad you have it and just DEAL with it???

    'cause this competition is about as *STUPID* as the cause...

  • you speak from what experience?, you people are blind, we are really in a world of shit, don't you get it? our very existence is under threat, vaccines, shitty water, foul air, whatever, we can't blame it on one thing or another, because the sources of this assault are coming from all angles, I wish it were just vaccines, human beings are degenerating because of toxins and mutant food

  • Great video! I also have a child on the Spectrum! He s 8 and in a really good special Ed. private school in Cal. I'm paying as the his school district is unable too! The constant fighting wasn't worth what he received. I'm happy to announce that Daniel just did his first Jumping Jack and tied his shoes. He is worth all the money in the world to me! If they don't help then find a way to do it yourself with famiy support! Don't wait or those --- holes!

    Giggle

  • Those scum are most certainly not a worthy cause. They wantonly devalue autistic lives and threaten autistic children with lawsuits. They are subhuman filth.

  • Everyone reacts to autism differently. I am skeptical of Autism Speaks because it portrays autism as a life long issue. Some kids are physically sick. The founder's own daughter has issues with this. Biomedical Interventions have helped my son have a happier life, and he is on his way. Our autism donations go to places that offer Hope, Health, and Happiness. Give to the child personally, not the org. He is beautiful. We can all agree we love our kids.

  • I'm so sorry for anyone who thinks that what you said on here isn't true. It must take amazing strength to put a video so personal on here and I applaud you. I'm going to the site and I hope that your life and that of your son will be better for it.

  • Yeah, please donate to this organisation.

    we as autistic would love to be further alienated. and we believe the founders should spend even more on private jets.

    the autistic community(the ACTUAL autistic) have denounced this organisation. please scour youtube to find out why.

  • you have aspergers, not autism, does being connected to people who have a more severe case make you feel alientated? are they less important than you?

  • I am autistic. Aspergers syndrome is on the AUTISTIC spectrum.

    I feel connected to all people with autism.

    Im bewildered as to why you have not even considered why we, the autistic does not appriciate autism speaks.

    look at the videos of people like christschool, who has AUTISM, since its apparently important to you what the exact diagnosis is. Please find out why he does not appriciate Autism speaks.

    And i dont feel it makes sense to attack the messenger, and ignore the message.

  • i have a lot of faith in the human bodie's ability to heal, when someone who has autism can type comments to me like you just did, then they won't need a cure anymore, and now mothers who are exhausted and worried, are not entitled to be just that,? I won't treat you any different, I am entitled to my emotions too, or are you too self absorbed to to grant us that, this is neurological damage and just because it didn't destroy you, do not trivialize our struggle, thanks

  • again, you seem to not understand my message.

    i never mentioned anything about your emotions.

    i understand and recongnise feeling like sadness, loss, fear etc in connection with having a child diagnosed.

    but i was talking about autism speaks remember?

    how does that involve your emotions?

    how do you feel about christschools videos and his point of view? if u havent seens them, please do, im sure you will find them interesting,.

  • I am not sad anymore because my child is getting better, but this is what it is ,and I can be angry about it sometimes if I need to be, I wouldn't be sane or human if I wasn't, these children are poisoned and why shouldn't we be pissed? and because I don't take prescriptions like 70 fucking percent of america, I get a little worked up sometimes, sorry, We need a BBBBBIIIIGGGG detox America, you hear what I'm saying? eh?

  • could we get back on the topic.

    autism speaks is a bad thing.

    that is my message.

  • I don't see the alienation you speak of, I do however see "high functioning" people acting like big fat self absorbed babies whenever someone wishes for a "cure", god forbid anyone damage your precious ego, or shatter the deluded reality you dwell in, this is an epidemic, not a gift from god, it is pollution saturation point, and god help us all

  • the alienation is being done by autism speaks.

    please look at videos like..

    "how autism speaks spend the 21.000.000 we gave them"

  • My youngs has Autism and I got news for you they can learn in diffrent way there is over 1000 ways to teach your child how to make the words come out how to read how to play with other AND MAKE THE WORD A BETTER PLACE. So some of the stuff you are putting on youtube is a lie .learn to live with Autism. God has given you this child. This child has a gift.

  • You realize that that's exactly what this video is saying, don't you? So many people believe that Autism is the end and this mother's video is saying that it doesn't have to be. With acceptance, love, and interaction children with Autism, a neurological disorder, can have a chance to live. It's not a lie, it's a life.

  • OMG, snaps to you!i have an autistic son too and ur son reminds me so much of my own , right down to the looks, very inspiring, brought tears to my eyes!i tired to apply ont he website but apparently its only for U.S residents

  • Early intervention is one piece of the puzzle. Biomedical is another. My son is greatly improved from the GFCF diet, enzymes and supplements. And time.

  • He is gorgeous. I remember those days and you are right. You have touch my heart deeply. Thank you...

  • hello there! i want to present this to my classmates because were taking up early intervention course in my masters is it possible if you could send me a copy of this video?

  • You made me cry too! I also have a 9 yr old son with autism. He is talking more and more and loves any kind of physical activity: riding bikes or ponies, swimming, hiking and enjoys new experiences. He too is such a gift from God and I totally agree that our love and acceptance of him helps him grow. TGod must have a plan for these children. They are such beautiful spirits! God bless you all in your journey! BB

  • Wonderfully done! Thank you - you made me cry. My eldest - 9 yr old son - is also autistic! Keep up the positive point of view and you'll go far. My son talks to us regularly (usually about dinosaurs or africa) and is learning and getting better at math as well as reading. He is a gift of God and I truly believe our love and acceptance of him helps him grow. Prayers coming your way! K
