I love this video too! I listen to it when I'm feeling overwhelmed, or beaten down. It helps me stand again. lol I am a single Mom of a 4 yr old boy w/HF Autism. He fills my world in all the best ways, and the other ways too. Gotta have the yen with the yang. :)

[nikkiblaik]

thank u to who ever made this video... i have a boy w autism and it can seem like every day is a war. it's great to know im not the only one who goes thru this.

[gourmetcoffeee]

My son has autism, brother with aspergers and cousin with an unspecified asd. We also beleive my dad has asd with bipolar disorder. In my family, I beleive it is genetic. The research for innoculation toxicity is extremely flawed-and scarry. I wouldn't take the chance of my child dying of one of these awful diseases to maybe spare them from possible autism. That is just my view and I think everyone is entitled-if you disagree that's okay. My son gets sick on his stomach with nervousness.

[anglemom1985]

i loves this viddo i have a 3 year old with autism

[geoandpenn]

im a mother of 3 autistics one moderate with adhd and epilepsy a second with severe autism  and a third with aspbergers and adhd love the video

[gourmetcoffeee]

@geoandpenn As a parent are you taking time out for yourself to rejuv yourself. Please take rest and time for yourself! You are worth it!

[xjpnfanx]

has the most UNIQUE eyes (changes colour according to his mood or lighting from grey to green to bluish turquoise with a bit of hazel brown around his pupil). He's a GENIUS in direction, literally Im dead serious, and he knows every turn, sign, traffic light, and highway. My uncle and aunt have been through a lot, and they also have two younger energetic sons which are a handful. IDK why but sometimes I cry whenever I see him cry.

[xjpnfanx]

I watched this Korean drama --and Ill never forget this quote "Autistic children are angels who lost their way to heaven and fell to earth. Since they are so pure, its hard for them to communicate with tainted humans like ourselves." (Something likes that-I paraphrased). I have an autistic cousin, whom I'm close to, knew him since birth, held him and all. He's about 11, BEAUTIFUL-I think he could do modeling, he

[benplena]

I love this....

I am a mother of an Autism son....

[SeaweedBrain313]

LOVE this video, especially on the rough days with my ASD boys. I have 5 great kiddos, 2 diagnosed with Asperger's. There is no greater gift you give to any of your children than to Stand when they need you most <3.

[1loca64]

Awesome video. I'm a mom to a 4 year old Autistic little girl. Our key word: Believe... Believe in your child. Believe in yourself. Believe anything is possible. Blessings...

[amy617747803]

they said ( the doctors i would never talk or walk i can walk and talk they was WRONG

[TheTommy83180]

@amy617747803 that is good  may be you have Angel look over you

[delts99]

My son was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism at 2 and we were told he would never speak. He's now 7, in mainstream school, in the right class for his age and we cannot keep him quiet :). If anyone out there needs some help/advice/chat, please get in touch...Kevin.

[LIMom71]

For Adam... I LOVE THIS VIDEO hey if you want a picture of me and my silly kids let me know. GBU. Thanks this is a beautiful song n video. Mother of 1 Autistic blessing from God.

[CanadaLarry]

I believe the newest figures say it's no longer 1 on 150 births have some form of Autism.

Now it's 1 in every 30 births.

They are not born with it, it is acquired. How? is the 64,000 dollar question?

Want to know how?

Watch my video on YouTube and find out.

[CurvyCorrine]

just awesome.. ... ;) corrine (Joshua's mom...PDD-NOS)

[kakou74000]

my husband prefered to leave... and this video make me cry

we noticed all the love you have

[aorpete]

Awesome video!

When I see still moments like this it makes me cry.

I see autistic children as 'perfect children' because their hearts are so pure.

When you look into their eyes & feel the warmth of their personalities you cannot help being in awe, humbled & inspired by their angelic beauty.

I see that deep look in the eyes of the parents too that shows the depth of endless love & care; I am a parent of three autistic children - we are strong people... we have to be for our children!

[futurepsychiatrist]

Thank you for putting this video up. I know how my own mother struggles with me sometimes(I have autism). I definitely put this in my autism playlist. Thank you for putting up this video.

[CatrinaYoung1987]

what a beautiful tribute video. My son was diagnosed with autism a couple of weeks ago now his name is julian and he will be 4 in september. he is awaiting a hospital appointment so they can tell us which catergory he falls in. thank you for this video xxxx

[leej4u]

Having a center, and working with parents that have Special Children, I admire you for this song.. And play it for

my staff and parents, to help them understand... My center is free for the children that can't afford. But its people like you that make the music for others to understand,, never give up your dream,

God bless us all.... Lee

[jersysalvacion1]

im still in denial that my son have severe autism...i haven't consulted any doctors with my observations...sooner or later, ill be able to accept whatever my son is becoming...tnx

[sidewayz3000]

get started now . there is great help out there

[rainchild41]

Beautiful video. My son is 25 yrs now and it has been a long way to go and so worth it. If I had the time to follow him around with a video camera Id have a monopoly on funniest home videos.

[pegstef]

you know what the funny thing is (not funny haha) I listen to this song every single time i'm told that my sons CAN"T do something. Then we "wipe our hands, shake it off..." set out to prove everyone wrong.

[keshiaserendipty]

nice video, its true its hard but its wonderful as a teacher i've experience having with them, they are beautiful creation of god

[aymara1]

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful and inspiring video!!! I am a single mom with a severe autistic boy....lately things have been very rough for us, but we "keep holding on" just like this song says!

[nickthefox72]

i have 2 sons with autism and a lil grl with it so thanks this song says it all 8) they soooo worth it . KEEP UR HEAD UP!!! XXXXX

[sagitree]

I found this so wonderful. I have a son 3 y/o with Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)..... he is Autistic and he is wonderful.... but it is hard.

[TheConductorsUSA]

Thanks for making a positive contribution to the Autism Community. - The Conductors

[Nefer8]

Hello. Great this video!

My nephew has autism.

[DeMerchantFamily]

I have 7 children 4 who are ASD ... on the days when the schools and the agencies get too much this video feeds my soul.

[wendysweb]

Hi,

Are you the family that was featured on the Doctors?

[DeMerchantFamily]

No but we have been in contact with that family... I think there is more than one cause I think some are genetic and some are flukes ( meaning one case in the family ) I think its genetic in our family.

[Angelimayar]

thanks for encourange by song,,,,nice

i laso have autism boy 6 years old

[mjklc]

my son's 6th bday was yesterday.....i cried the happy kind of tears watching this vid and hearing the song.....i also am encouraged....my fav part of the video was seeing the smiles on kids and parents faces

[yankeegurl62]

excellent video....thank you so much!! Don't let the nay sayers get you down. I love my Grand daughter dearly, she is such a delight to our lives. Someday soon, I'll post our video tribute to her and her autism. Thanks for sharing!! God bless

[Dallasyourock]

This video made me smile.  Thanks! Great song too.

[ePhilosopher]

USUALLY,,, dont gove me crap, i'm autistu=ic at 42

ND WHEN IF BORN ON THE DARK CONTINENT the hyenas would take care of it. but here in america we let the crack mothers and sperm whales dicatate darwinism.

[yankeegurl62]

what the heck are you talking about? A society is judged by how it treats it's weakest members..... Autism comes, like a rainbow, in many diffrent shades. Not all children are "profound", and those that are profound, my hat off to the parents. My grand daughter is high functioning pdd nos. BTW, the instance of Autism is increasing dramatically it is now every 1 in 150 children. Something in our enviorment is causing it. Natural selection my butt...my daughter didn't do drugs either....

[oulala99]

I agree completely yankeegurl62 as my neice suffers from Asperger's Syndrome....and I find ePhilosopher's comment ignorant and ill informed..... I believe also that soemthing in the environment is causing it ...some experts believe there may be a link between forcep births and Autism...lets hope one day they find a definite cause.

[CindyPDX]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and a great choice for the song to this too!

[jsharpsccc]

I would really like to find out who sings this song,,,it is so appropriate!! I am in australia and really want this song!

[brit2467]

The song is sung by country group Rascal Flatts.

[MLGLWatkins]

I just want to thank you for taking the time to make this video. It brought tears to my eyes, and was the pat on the back that I need every so often. We are all doing the absolute best we can, and can empathize with one another in a way no one else can. Thank you.

[breezemcc25]

thank u x

[dadelp]

Our children have a uniqueness about them. They accept all those around them, warts and all.

I have a 10 year old with autism. For the past 7.5 years it has been a roller coaster ride. One that we have enjoyed immensely most of the time.

This video speaks to my heart as my feelings on autism are:

"Some days hope is all I have. Other days; hope is all I need."

DEB :)

[LueRene]

That is so right! they do accept every one around them, it is amazing how our kids seem so different at times and they don't see difference in others.

It is nice to see videos like this, with happy kids when all you see is the sad face of autism.

[Achrestensen]

Everybody is affect by autism, the affects are strength and endurance. Whether is be family members, the moms and dads, just remember that we all can do something to help bring awareness to the world. GOD BLESS EVERYONE AFFECTED!

[helpme130]

What about the brother's and sister's?

The SIBLINS?

Im going to make a video about the siblins!

Im a siblin, my brother is servialy autistic.

My mother has also got an acount NAGME.

by the way what and who sings this song?

[francisjavi07]

I am a brother with autism and I just think this is beautiful...thank you for making this

[CLynn1705]

Thank You!

[KiZZyKatCuTie]

thank u so much!

[wisspaint]

THANK YOU!! You do not know how many parents out there needed this. Great Job.

[aimbriggs]

Thanks! I really needed that today more then you know. Or maybe you do!

[CLynn1705]

I honestly do!

[aimbriggs]

Some days are better then others I guess. No one ever said it would be easy... they just promised it'd be worth it!

[angelmeant2shine]

Awesome job on this video. It was very touching and makes me realize how amazing my 5 year old son is - and how I even though there are days we struggle to get through, I wouldn't trade him for the world.

[AutisticLiving]

Thank You for taking the time and putting in the effort to make this video. Based on the number of "views", I'd say you made the day of 24874 parents, and counting. Great work.

[colemanchick]

Thank you for the video. People that don't have children with autism just don't understand what we go through. I'm a mom of a 10yr old that has autism. This video made my day!!

[Amelia424]

Thanks for this video :)

[Amelia424]

As a mom of a autistic little boy this made me smile. Its nice to see a video of families smiling and accepting their children for who they are. Some videos you see are of parents making it seem like a burden and yeah its frustrating but I will never look at my son as a burden. Hes an amazing little boy and so are all autistic children.

[NathanALowey]

You have taken the words from my mouth no child should be looked at as a burden they were brought into this world when two people were making lov so lets return it to all our children

[kalitheamare]

wish my ex husband would watch this video. wish he were part of the "strong ones, but he's not. wish all parents could accept their children the way they ARE and love them unconditionally...thank you for posting.

[bishopbird]

thank you. i cried, i smiled and for the first time sore light at the end of this tunnel.

[angle1956]

Love the song how fiting. Isn't it the truth wow. We have to stand up for our children all of them. It takes a strong parent to deal with children. Children with Autims .some days you do feel like giving up. We have to be strong love our children no matter what!

My grandson has Autism. He has his own way of learning and seeing things. It is hard to comuicate with him. I like to think he can understand and know we all love him.

[eikorundger2]

Very good video.

Good music too.

Family is everything ...

[momtoreezles]

What a wonderful video!

[Happyautism]

This is outstanding! How happy & normal do these familys look? :) Beautiful

[Happyautism]

Oh by ''normal'' i mean that without the description of the vid, no one would know that these amazing families were any different :) No offence ment - I refer to my family (of two autistic sons) as ''normal'' all the time - im used to saying it :D

[wkhough]

Nice reminder that my husband and I are not alone in raising and trying to help an autistic child.

[meislandu2]

glad to know i am not alone!!

[adrishelton]

Yeah! were not alone! ^_^

I have an autistic angel either ^_^

God bless you

[tntdns]

Very uplifting!!!

Troy's Amazing Universe

[MelAspiemom]

Thank you! That is exactly what I needed this morning!

[marci7072]

With heartfelt thanks from this grammi. God bless you and may he give us the strength to understand and thank him for 'the child' who is the 'Greatest Gift of All.!''

[tntdns]

Thanks I love parents who are positive! My son is a hero, he even has his own action adventure series

Troy's Amazing Universe...see it on youtube

[annescott20]

What a terrific video! I'm in tears, sensational! As a mom of a 6 year old autistic son, we fight for their rights and we push on always! Thanks so much for posting!

[marienora]

I loved your video. So much it made me cry! It really is a long, tough journey to raise a child with Austism. There is a lot of feelings of inadequatcy and feeling as if you are trying to face the world on your own. I look at parents who have kids with more issues than mine and really feel for these parents. There really are angels here among us!

[danohodo]

As a dad with a 4yr old autisic child, Ihave to say it's been very hard on my wife and I and our 2 other young children ( 5 and 9 ),but our Sammy is the most wonderful little boy that we could ask for.WE WILL GO ON.

[terabw]

I needed this so much today. I also have 2 boys on the spectrum. We are getting ready to start back with the biomedical treatments. Had to stop for a while due to financial reasons. You've insired me to really stick with it this time. Thanks for giving me the courage to "stand".

[12jaynat]

Thank you so much. These faces remind us that we're not alone in this. God bless you.

[shealeen]

made me cry, its a hard job, and very thankless, lots of isolation and worry, but so worth it, my son will be 16 this yr.. praise you for your work and thought

sherry hester

[mamato3kids]

As a Parent of 2 ASD Spectrum videos, this was wonderful to see! Glad to see other people who are dedicated! Thank You!

[biomedmom]

Perfect song for us and our kids. Thank you for making it. I thought you might want to see my videos @ biomedmom on youtube. 'Our autism journey...so far' and a slide show from my support group in Iowa.

[kalli127]

OMG I have a friend named Taylor pinkygirl704 and shes has at bro and he's autistic and he's more like bro 2 me but this is so beautiful so thx u 4 all the hlp every1 has given

[pinkygirl704]

beautiful video! this song is very uplifting especially in our situation!

[christschool]

Nice to see a video of parents loving their child rather than talking about them being "damaged" like you see on so many websites:) For more positive autism videos please see my channel.

[wendysweb]

The parents honored in this video are treating their kids biomedically, trying to undo the vaccine injuries that were forced upon them and restore their health so they can live the lives they were meant to have. Of course they love their children - enough to sacrifice everything else in their lives to get their kids healthy again without the support of health insurance or mainstream medicine. These parents are fighters. These parents are heroes.

[redhead60707]

Thanks Wendy for the beautiful video and the inspiring message!

[AutisticsSpeak]

Let's hope that these parents are also fighting for inclusion, acceptance, accomodation, positive portrals of their children and expanded opportunities for autistic people because that will be important as their children become adults like me.

[wiscsuzski]

so you ARE saying these kids are damaged. sad view.

[wendysweb]

I'm saying these kids are physically sick. Many suffer from painful GI issues, chronic viruses, bacterial and fungal infections, neuro-inflammation, food sensitivities and allergies, auto-immune disease and heavy metal toxicity. These medical problems can affect neurological function and cause the behaviors we collectively diagnose as "autism". The good news is, all of those things are medically treatable and our kids can get healthier, feel better and in some cases even recover from "autism".

[treitmaniac]

Better news, and unfortunately, unpublicized news, is that partial alleviation of the symptoms is a normal part of the progression of autism.

[kiddlyjesus3000]

@wendysweb i have aspergers and adhd and because of i also have ulerative colitis so i can say it can be hard for people like me with belly issues and i also have tics with what i deal i am smart but somtimes i cant show it and that upset me and others who live with me

[EASeton]

"Like a candle in a hurricane"

The song got that right.

Fantastic music, performance ,lyric.

Who is it?

Thank You!!!

What a great show. Keep standing comrades.

Where's Stonewall Jackson when we need him?

[wendysweb]

The song is "Stand" by Rascal Flatts.

[harobed6006]

Absolutely beautiful and well deserved ! God bless all you wonderful, dedicated parents of autistic children! There's a place in heaven for all of you!
