  • parents to be admired,kids to be adored.

  • This is reallygood.

    I think its really cute that the 2 other ones are helping with them

  • hello

  • beautiful vid and kids

  • @Thejeter5770 the first thing I have to say to you is learn to spell. The second is that these people with Autism or other disabilities are not "retards" they are people no different from the rest of us. They may require a little bit of help but havent you at least once in your life needed help? I'm sure if someone said to you the same thing you posted here you would feel betrayed by humanity and helpless. People with negative, pessimistic views like you break my heart.

  • wow great family

  • Wow what gorgeous children you have. You both are great parents. You can see in the clips how much your children have come along. I have worked with a lot of autistic children and they do improve !!! And in reply to a negative comment in here you CAN FIGHT AUTISM. Well done and best wishes for the future. This is a great vid to have here for others to be educated. well done !!

  • : )

  • beautiful, brought tears to my eyes, thank you!!!!

    When you see you child/children struggle you just want to help. That's what parents do. Provide the very best for their children!!! God Bless!

  • My little like 5 year old cousin has that but hes getting better dealing with it

  • What Are You Amazing At Like If You Know Wht I Mean

    If You Are Bad at Maths And Your Gd At English Or Sumthin

  • this made me cry cus my little brother has autism and its so hard. i love him so much.

  • I really loved your video. My son is 7 with mild Autism/Aspergers. ABA saved him and us! Take care and best of luck to you and your family.

  • gamiezion---interesting how wen I turn the tables on you---you don't like it----no I don't know you---nor do know me or MY God---you can take your reasearch and flush it down the toilet with the rest of the garbage...people come here looking for help, not hateful, cruel comments that you have placed on this board. So, dear one, if you have nothing NICE to say, then DON'T comment!!!

  • Can u tell me who sings the song for this video ? I forgot to ask you in my other post LOL

  • I absolutely love your video and your testimony. My daugther is 11.5 months old and I am pretty confident she also has PDD. She has an older brother who is 4. Psalm 139... we are all fearfully and wonderfully made. I am not concerned as to why.. i just want to know what to do now.. and with my heavenly Father I will find the strength to get through it. She is my ministry... she my little light. her name is Norah and prayer is powerfull. thanks for your story. Blessings and prayer 4 you.

  • hey, before you start bashing youre children: dont expect them to become cristians

    people with autism need proof for everthing :)

    not trying to start a discussion here, just saying: dont be surprised if youre children turn out to be athiests

  • gamiezion----the thing with autism, these kids 'need proof of everything'...are also living proof of God. My granddaughter LOVES God and goes to church with excitement...if you live your life as a true Christian, not just when the doors are open, but EVERYDAY...then they see Christ thru you....Yes, these kids see more and feel more..and they will pick up on hypocrites faster then anyone...we are to raise up our children in the way they should go, and when they get old, they won't depart from it

  • so youre grand daufhter is brain washed, good job

    mark youre own words and see what she does when she reaches adulthood ;)

  • gamiezion--WATCH YOURSELF--you and your ignorant mouth have NO IDEA about the delight of my grandaughter...brainwashed, hardley..She's been raised to KNOW that she is a wonderful creation of a LOVING GOD--as are you, even with your hateful comments, Pslm 139: For I am wonderfully and fearfully made.." I THANK GOD for my children, and grandchildren...I rather raise them up in the way of the Lord ANYDAY than the hopless hateful way of the world...If you nothing nice to say, stay quiet

  • hatefull you say?

    ignorant you say?

    please, what is it you know about me?

    how do you know i havent done my research into religion and autism?

    god is an illusion

  • hi eyebeeablessing2u, could I ask you, what are your daughters' signs?  My grand daughter has pdd/nos she is 4, and the joy of her MeMaw's life...my grandson also has autism, and is in the process of being diagnosed--sadly, he is on the lower end of the sprectrum...Autistic wise.....They are my Gifts from God, and your right to quote pslm 139---"For I am wonderfuly and fearfully made...." We serve an awesome God, God bless

  • here is my list Norah 11 months old Stares at fingers in certain position Uses toys in weird way Unusual facial expression Does not reach to get picked up unusual noises clucking and squeals Arm flapping or hand flapping Ankle circles Taps fingers on chin repetitively *Refuses cereal *Odd and repetitive way of moving fingers and hands *when scared trembles raises arm *Content 2 sit and play alone *Bowel movements every other diaper change and always loose *hungrier than normal
  • eyebeeablessing2u, it's hard to figure, being a lay[person that I am, but it seems like you do have somthing to be concerned about. Being that it is a "spectrum" disorder...sadly, there are no set symptoms, (wish that there were, would make things easier) you could ask her Dr. to do a stool sample on her to rule out anything organic going on...My grandaughter dosen't prodess ANY carbs...and her stools are "strange", WRITE down everything that concerns you..BUG the DR. be a pest...I'm here 4 u!

  • i loved your video,, and yes great parents will never give up,, your children are beautiful and im glad they are doing good ,, god bless you and your family

  • My boyfriend who has autism. My boyfriend name is Andrew Hoffman & he is 13 years old. His younger sister Katie age11 & younger brothers Collin age9 & Matthew age7.

    Plus I have Hemiplegia Cerebral Palsy & Russell Silver Syndome "4'8 tall"

    Love Michaela Schwartz

  • my nephew has autism and watching this video made me cry. .each child is special in his own special way. we have to let them feel the GREATEST LOVE we can offer.

  • me and my older brother both have autism we r also going thriough intense therapy but they say it may be to late for me since i was diagnosed last year at age 13 by brother however is doing extreamly well since he was diagnosed at age 5 and is now 20 thx for making this video and i know exactly how u feel.

  • Love your video! Yeah, Autism is something you have to constantly work with. It's not easy.

  • such adorable kids. bless their hearts :)

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you sooo much... you don't know how much this help me.

  • im diagnosed with autism

  • You are so cute!

  • I have 4 grandsons on the spectrum. This is so touching. So many people have no idea what we are going through

  • august 31 is my birthday!!this is a gorgeous video

  • I have a 2.5 year old and just found out a month ago that he is on the spectrum. This video really helped.

  • WoW!! those are some deep words for an 8 year old!! congrats!!!

  • such a nice family

  • truly inspiring

  • You are such a wonderful family! I'm a nursing student and just learning about Autism in my research and interaction with different children diagnosed at clinical sites. I believe it is important to integrate specific diets and vitamins that are found to be lacking in children with ASD. I saw that you were implementing that. Definitely good to give everything a try and see if there's any improvements.

    What wonderful boys! God Bless them and you :)

  • What a beautiful video, I think your children are lucky to have such wonderful parents and have each other. My son David is on the spectrum and we do the GF/CF diet and we see alot of good coming from it we will be starting bio-medical treatments in May. Good luck with those beautiful children, all of them!

  • I loved the first half of this video, but the second half was a little down. You can't 'fight against autism' you can change their behaviour certainly, but they will always be autistic which is good. People focus on the bad parts of autism too much, its simply a different way of developing.

  • Why do you think that they can't TRY to fight autism? ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! They are trying to fight away from it, not fight kids who have it and say autism's bad!

  • Yes, they have to work with autism..stimulation for the child..understanding of the condition..and progression should unfold.

    Mind you...sum kids on the spectrum are pretty severe. But, I get exactly what you mean.

    Be possitive and stay possitive !!!!

  • Thank you for sharing this video and offering a sense of hope to the parents who are raising an Autistic child. Your children are beautiful!

    = )

  • I have to say at the end that you should love your child no matter what and stop looking for cures where there are none.

  • I personally don't believe that you can "cure" autism. I believe that if the autism is diagnosed as early as possible and if you understand that their brain works in different ways then there are ways of helping the child to reach their potential within the limits of their handicap. I grew up with a boy with autism, he was a non verbal until he went to school but with a lot of specialist help he now seems to be functioning at his correct age level. He was not cured of autism but was helped.

  • What an uplifting, hope-inspiring video. I have a 5 year old daughter on the spectrum, and we will be starting bio-medical intervention in December, coupling it with traditional therapies. Good luck with your future journeys. You're an inspiration to many of us.

  • I hope they get well soon!!!! :)

  • What a touching video. Our family has taken this journey with 2 children as well. Kudo's to all our little ones who work so hard to over come and Kudo's to their siblings who work so hard to help them .

  • I am the father of three boys, the oldest when 2 years old was diagnosed with autism. Now he's 6 and is in mainstream school. I'm writing to offer my help to any parents/families of children with autism. We've had no miracle cure/treatment, just a lot of enthusiasm and a little determination. Message me if you need to talk or if you're in need of some inspiration. I could talk for days about my son's improvements and want to help others to achieve the same with their children. Kevin.

  • My previous comment was a reply to "DrBeast". Anyway you have a beautiful family and children lucky to have strong parents who care so much! Great Video! I have a 3.5 year old Boy diagnosed at 2yrs. We are also trying bio-medical/diet intervention. Progress is a beautiful things, at any rate. Thanks for sharing.

  • I am a mother of a 9 year old son diagnosed with aspergers. I also have a nonverbal 6 year old son with autism. I really enjoyed this video very much!

  • I just want to say the diagnosis of "autism" has done NOTHING but give us money PROBLEMS not given us MORE money! We have ZERO help,ZERO money,and insurance companys HATE the word AUTISM its a BAD word to them. We got dropped from our insurance because of Autism. YOU CAN NOT tell me we get money for this!!! I hope you never are affected by autism because that poor soul will have to live near YOU!! Be more understanding of ALL the differences of the world!

  • If anyone needs to hang themself it's you. The world has enough ingnorant, idiotic, miserable, pathetic people like you. You know what? I really dont need to stoop down to your level and say bad things. Your punishment is you having to live life as YOU...you will do it to yourself. Good Luck and may God shed some light on you.

  • Of COURSE all you saw was a normal kid! Try educating yourself instead of bashing others. People with autism don't have an obvious "look" like people with CP or Down's. But it is VERY REAL. Why don't you volunteer someplace that serves the autistic community? Get involved with an organization that raises awareness. THEN try to convince yourself it doesn't exist. Your ingnorance and spite appalls me.

  • I have two sons with "autism" as you like to say; and if your idea of a normal kid is bashing there head into walls because something is misplaced and can't be fixed, or being 3 and gagging at the site of your baby brother for the first six months,even though he would give him his favorite toys and loved him to death.I would really like to hear your verison of a abnormal child.A child with autism does not come with a stamp on their head.So since your so smart why don't you tell us the answer

  • that kinda stings. i have an autistic 10 year old brother and he cannot talk, understand or communicate with me in any way.

  • How old are you? To say such a rude comment. They say the things you hate the most about yourself are the things you make fun of others for.

  • Thank you for sharing this. Your family is beautiful!

  • I love your video, it left me in tears but gave me comfort. I have 3 boys and 2 of them have autism. I have a Mikey too! he doesn't have autism and is so patient with his brothers he's just stuck in the middle but they learn so much from him. Keep walking strong....your not alone :)

  • Awesome video, very touching.What a wonderful and beautiful family! Thank you for sharing that it made my day!

  • omg this video has left me in tears. but it was amazing 2 watch.

  • I loved your video and your captions were really touching. You have a beautiful family that work together. Your children are amazing how they help each other and keep pushing. Very inspirational.

  • Thank you for the video! I am a psychologist & BCBA.I have worked with children with autism for 10+ years.What a beautiful testimony to you & your family for your hard work.I am a mom of 2 small children so this video touched me as a professional & mom. Thank God that your children have fighting parents! God bless you, Laura Addison

  • i love the video...its inspired me, i have a sister who is autistic...and we love her unconditionally!

  • love this video and the comment "love me and accept my differences" if only we could make that the catchcry for autism! thanks for sharing your beautiful family!

  • behold i ay could change the course of autism

  • this is very insperational to others!

  • We are very appreciative of you sharing such a wonderful video of your beautiful family. You are so couragious and special.

    Our son has Asperger's and is our pride and joy. We wish to help him and provide him all our love and support.

    We are very touched by your beautiful video.

    Thank you.

  • What a great video!!!! your kids are so precious!!! Our son is in the process of getting a diagnoses...i am collecting videos to take with us to our next visit june 10th..he has been diagnosed with developmental delays,gross motor delays,speech/language disorder,and Sensory processing disorder.thanks for posting i loved it!!!!! we also have a Gabriel..lol...he is 8 adn we are going to be starting hippotherapy as well

  • HI!! i abosolutely loved this video. I currently work as an ABA tutor and am in contact daily with children with Autism. Everyday, i see the kids grow and understand more. They have bad days like any person does but I can see them learning more and more each day. Your video is inspiring and i wish every parent with a child with Autism could see it.

  • Sweet video, my son was recently diagnosed and were looking into detoxifing him and putting him on the diet, can you discribe what worked for your boys and what didn't? How do you cope with outings on the diet? Where did you find glueten free pizza? any info you'd be willing to share would be great..

  • Wow! You are amazing parents, and your children are benefiting from you!! Keep up the hard work!

  • jamespowelson use yahoo search

    This brain not developing in the fetus is caused by exposure to some from of radiation or microwave. One possible answer is an understand of the quantum psychic body. hence that you will have to ask the infinite to regenerate the brain cells of the child.

    if you search my name on yahoo you can find my info. For this case it would take 1 to2 years to cure these children they must have a scientific vocabulary. // not enough room to explain all this

  • What an awesome family!

  • This brought a big smile to my face. Thanks for making that!

  • You guys rule! Keep on fightin' dude!

  • a boy in my little sisters class he has autism

  • My son is autism ,,,,,,,,,and he a great little baby man he 4 year old

  • What a beautiful family!

  • my sister is autistic

  • God bless you all.. I have an autistic grandson, two autistic nephews and one autistic niece. Everyone in our family feel so blessed that we have these beautiful children. They have taught us much. They are all making great strides in their own way. But, it breaks my heart to see them have to fight so hard. Much love to you all

  • whats autism?

  • you probbaly know it as retardation.

    but that just means "slowed development", unfortunatly autisem can be much harder then that. (also some people think retardation or retarded is a bad word, but it depends on the context) [my proffesor uses the term in physics alot]

    anyways, nothing a dictionary wont tell you.

  • I will disagree and so will donna williams and millions of other auties and aspies

  • Wow. A professor said something that ignorant? Time to attend a different college maybe?

  • what? that to "retard" is to decelerate or slow down?

    how is that ignorant? you moron.

    open a dictionary. or just google. if your brain has the capacity for that.

    and don't insult my university.

  • Great video! I stumbled upon this and couldn't stop watching it. Now I'm all teary eyed.

    What a wonderful family!

  • I can't stop crying. I have a three year old in ABA, but only for 8 hours a week. We can barely afford that! It's $600 a week because insurance won't help. I see that these kids are getting 40 hours a week, and I feel like my child isn't getting enough. I just want him to start talking and somewhat recover from this mysterious brain disorder.

  • I cried during the video - We, too have a autistic son. He is so wonderful - He is my hero. He has taught me patience and how to love life. Right now, we are going through alot - but I get by with his kisses and his hands holding my face while i get them. God Bless You !!!

  • i love it and i hope things go good for you and your =family...........i cried during the whole video

  • I love the THING 1,2,3,4 Waaay CUTE! Thank you for a more positive view of Autism and aspergers.

  • Lovely family video ....... one critique... dont' fight against autism.  Learn to work WITH autism. You as NT's are learning yourselves to work with it. There is nothing wrong with autism. Chances are your autie children are brigther than the rest of the family. They have to learn YOUR language. Thta being said... Lovely family and lovely commitment by all. you should be very proud.

  • maybe we can cure NT disorder. What do you think?  Don't rain on our aspie and autie parade. We are the chosen ones and we are blessed. :)

  • We are the Chosen ones!

  • Being an NT is not a gift. Have you contacted a psychiatrist about your problems. Your insatiable need to look at eyes? Your low IQ on the average? Your inability to enjoy solitude? Your blazee need to socialize and have exact development patterns? NT= Boring and mundane.

  • WTF???

  • Don't hate us, just because we're better than you are. Go stim, smart one.

  • Why don't you go find something else to do!

  • What lovely kids-the video made me cry though!!

  • thanx you let us watching,

    you give me hope....

  • Thank you for your beautiful video. I cried the whole time. I have two boys with Autism too, aged 8 and 10. They've worked very hard too, but the eldest still has such a long way to go. Thank you so much.

  • this is such a powerful video. I got it from one of the parents i work with. She also has two boys with autsim. Early intervention has helped the family out so much. She is my hero!

  • Wow, what an amazing story. Thank you for sharing. I am a student doing a research project on Autism and structured education tecniques, and this video really helped bring the humanistic side to life for me. You have four beautiful kids, and thank you for never giving up!

  • Part 2 of my post: Children or adults shouldnt have to suffer because of one vaccination shot that turned out bad.

    I can count on one hand the number of colds I've caught in my adult life.I will NEVER poison my children with a vaccination. And it has nothing to do with religion etc, its a choice any parent can make.

  • I appreciate what you are saying,but i think it is quite selfish of you to not give your children vaccines,as if they were to catch a disease,then everyone around them would catch it too. also, although autism can be a struggle,it can bless people with wonderful gifts,so even if your child does get autism from a shot(which is highly unlikely)it is better than them dying from one of the diseases.

  • I know it sounds selfish, but it's a choice i've stuck with. If my child would get chicken pox..its totally natural, its better they get it when they are young. As for flu shots..i completely disagree with them. it will build up a child's immune system if they get the flu or a cold once in a while.

  • yes, i definitely agree with the flu shots, it is just a normal part of life, and if a child did get a serious illness, then they would be able to fight it much more effectively. I admire how you stick to your morals.

  • thx:)

  • People need to stop focusing on this "idiot-savante" aspect of autism, not all of autistics are like rainman! My brother is severly autistic (but only after his vaccine- coincidence?), not HFA or aspbergers, and although I think vaccinations are important I can definatly understand sneakersbaja's attitude. I'm sorry if this offends people with HFA, but autism in it's severe stages IS NOT a gift

  • Children with Autism beautiful loving children!If research shows that Autism is caused by vaccinations guess what, you don't need to have a vaccination.I've never had a vaccination in my life!!You don't need it people, vaccinations have become so political. I've never had polio, mono, flu's, chicken pox, mumps, etc.

  • part 2 of my post: Just because you have never got one, it doesn't mean that your children wont.Sorry if this appears rude or nosy, but it is just my opinion.

  • gregjockca, you are very insensitive, I can't believe you would say something like this!

  • What a beautiful video! Keep your heads up, mom and dad, you are doing a wonderful job. May God richly bless your whole family!

  • Beautiful Video and Family!  Awesome job Mom and Dad!!!!

  • Do the research before you vaccinate.

    Prison Planet, Info Wars

  • I feel sorry for the people who feel sorry for you and your family. They just can't see that God blessed you in such a profound way. They will never know the happiness you have found through these two angels...........God Bless You all............

    With Love,

    Lilmamablondie

  • this video helped me understand what autism is.. thanks. good luck for the future :).

  • You are a blessed family, those kids are priceless. I wish my family was as close as you guys.

  • My big brother has got autism too, he can walk, laugh, you can get eye contact on him easily, he speaks little bit, he has won over 1000 euros (total) on writing competitions, he writes storys about hes life and he has been on local autism magasine twice. He is just amazing. And he has won lots of awards on his school. Well lets get back to this video :P. These kids are so cute and i hope that you can pull through this. God bless you!

  • thats so sad! im happy you are recovering, though!

  • that is sad

    you guys were soo aborable in the pics!i hope u will feel better!

    xoxo

    emily

  • Beautiful children...my child has done wonderfully.. Troy's Amazing Universe

  • wow thats sad that you could find this video funny because its not the life they chose

    they were diagnosed

  • When your older you might understand what that meant. Peace and love

  • I did not know they had Internet back 'Where the Hills have Eyes'

  • lets keep it clean doc this is a family site.

  • sorry to hit ya where it hurts. Maybe you are smart, especially when you can resort to calling someone a 'fucking twat', you must be a doctor with that kind of a response!!

  • Great video! Can anyone tell me who does the song in the background?

  • You are an uneducated moron for making a comment like this and I truly feel sorry for you.

  • what beautiful children you have =]

    this video brought tears to my eyes!

  • Wow this is beautiful. Brought me to tears. You're extraordinary parents with huge goals for your sons. Love passes threw everyone when they watch this video!

    God bless you and your kids.

  • Beautiful children. Well done you

  • LOVE IS POWERFUL!

  • Bless your beautiful children!

  • My sons are 12 and 6. They have Autism. Their sisters are very supportive of their goals. Even though the youngest sister is 3. She helps our six year old son communicate. Our sons are lucky to have cheerleaders giving them the encouragement to never lose sight or their voice to accomplish success. We are truly blessed as your family is too. We are cheering you guys on too.

    The Joneses

  • Wonderful, brought back my daughters childhood difficult but I wouldnt have missed it for the world. God Bless you & your family

  • Your children are all exceptionally beautiful and you are obviously wonderful parents. Hugs!

  • Loved the video!!! Brought me to tears. Your children are all beautiful and blessed to have you fighting in for them each and every day.

    Thanks for sharing.

  • If you want to stop vaccines from causing Autism, you must show parents how to protect their kids from diseases like Flu, TB, etc.

    Vitamin C will prevent Flu. My 3, now 22, 24 & 33, kids never get sick because they take 2 gms of Vitamin C hourly. I never get sick because I take 2 gms of vit C hourly.

  • Wow. Lovely video. I actually got teary-eyed.

  • I am on the Autistic Spectrum. I've never had ABA and I'm doing a lot better than my Preschool classmates who DID have ABA twelve or so years ago. I find ABA dehumanizing on many levels.

  • What is ABA? My son is autistic and in early intervention sevices, but I have yet to hear of ABA, what is dehumanizing about it?

  • ABA is an acronym for 'Applied Behavioral Analysis'. It's a technique that is, in my opinion, overused. As for how it's dehumanizing, it's only dehumanizing if misused. It involves constant aversive conditioning that could be considered similar to animal training or abuse. Now, even though ABA can be effectively used to get rid of self-destructive behaviors, it is often misused to even get rid of symptoms that AREN'T self-destructive, almost as if to eliminate the autism (which isn't possible).

  • I like ABA it must be, like any other therapy, applied appropriately. Contitioning is OK. We are conditioned by the nature and the environment, and vice versa, since the they we are born. E.g. Baby, Cry, Mother. Conditioning can alter synapses and possibly help regions of brain to compensate for 'damaged' areas. The sooner your start- the more you can repair. For me is self-desctructive to let the child slip away into its word and live it alone

  • You all are awesome. My 8 year old has HFA. Its so nice to know that we are not alone in the world.

  • I babysit 3 autistic kids. They are 8, 4, and 3. The 8 year old is so smart, and i know he'll ago far in life. the 4 year old lives in a world of her own, but is sweet as a rose. The 3 year old is so cute, and caring of others.

  • Lovely video, my wife and I sitting here crying.

  • Thank you for your kind words. Please forward your kindness and love to any autistic child you meet! God Bless you both!

  • Hopefully we can do as well with our two small ASD brothers Isaac and Simon.

  • Very nice video. What a special bunch of kids you have!
