Would have loved to be involved in this. I know several mothers with Autistic children (like myself) in Portland Oregon. This video brought me a smile, and proud but also sad tears...

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I hope this project continues to spread to every state, city and country around the world.

Props to the fathers too!

[adreamdeferred]

[Carecrowe]

The song is by Leona Lewis and the title is "Run". I tried to post the lyrics, but I went over the limit--you can find the lyrics on google by typing: Leona Lewis Run Lyrics.

[Bouzouki86]

Does anyone know who sings this song?

[eqjen]

i know the song is "run" by snow patrol but not sure who's singing this version... it does sound like leona lewis but i'm not sure

[Carecrowe]

You go girl. You do have the strength and compassion to do your best. I'm in the same boat filling out endless forms and answering the same questions over and over again, forever reliving the moment my son was vaccine damaged by the MMR

[Carecrowe]

You are so right ThenoddingMother.

These are our precious children and grand children that they are destroying.

[TheNoddingMother]

Argh!! Problems with education authorities, problems with disability benefits, problems with requesting flexible working hours. And all in one week. But still PROUD, LOUD AND STRONG!

[islandrace]

Strong, beautiful people! Keep the faith, spread the word.... you are winners.

[TheNoddingMother]

Wow. I am proud to be an Autism Mother and part of such a strong and dedicated community. Let's keep this campaign going for the rest of the year - and beyond. If we don't keep autism on the agenda, then no-one is going to do it for us! STAND PROUD, SHOUT LOUD AND BE STRONG.

[KimberlyMahurin]

The day is coming. We will be heard.

[cosnowmomma]

This is the greatest thing. Nothing like a bunch of pissed off moms changing the world. I am an autism mom, and judging from the look in their eyes, noone better try to stand in the way.

[Mischafour]

I am an Autism Mom, proud and strong.  United, we can do anything!

[Carecrowe]

We accept you Nadez and it's extremely good that you have a voice. A lot of the children who have been diagnosed within the Autism Spectrum Disorder have no voice never mind bing able to write.

[NadezhdaRozagy1]

why none of my comments get through? a bit heavy on censorship, for open-minded people who apparently accept us, autistics, no? maybe just not accept too much?

[kslangnc]

Autism Moms: I know of none more beautiful, more patient, or more strong. Blessings to each and every one. There is no greater love than than of laying down one's life for another...and that is exactly what autism moms do ... every single day.
