Great video I think you might be wrong that there is no cure. Do not stop looking. Many people have seen great improvement when the child is put on a gluten free diet. Maybe you have tried this i do not know. Just do not give up and stay strong for your kids.

@TERPnTx my views change almost daily, part of me accepts my boys just the way they are. Another part of me is torn because they have a very hard time 'fitting in' with children so I want them to be normal or cured. We have a lot of gluten free foods (I eat them too) but they both have terrible food aversions. My youngest son is still not vaccinated, I can't bring myself to do it. I will never give up I promise

I caught your excellent video via a Youtube greeting I sent of our twins (after our video plays, it comes up with others videos and I played yours) . I can hear the song. I just had to hop over here and let you know you made an excellent video. Wishing you and your family all the best.

You are a wonderful mother. I am sure one day your boys will appreciate this tribute. I thought it was lovely.

Each single day is a changelle for my boyfriend & I because I have Hemiplegia Cerebral Palsy & he has Down Syndrome/ Autism. Our name are Michaela Schwartz & Andrew Hoffman. We like to keep each other safe & love each other for everyone, Andrew only clams down if I is there with him.

I love you Andrew Hoffman

Love from Michaela Schwartz

I work for a family who has three children who are on the spectrum. before i started with them i had recently almost given up being a preschool teacher, since many preschools had discriminated against me cut my duties etc. due to my gender(being a guy), it hurt the most because the parents really appreciated me, but the staff, the staff did not because i was focusing more on the kids and the parents. so i went into nannying, 2 years later, i found my current job.
