I'm really glad you added the part about how he is becoming the brother his big brother wanted. My older son adores his autistic brother and often says that he is his best friend and "what would I do without Jackson." One friend asked him "Have you ever thought about what life would be like without Jackson and he said "It would suck!" When my son turned 4 he started saying Mama and it is SO precious.

@trickmind5 Chad is now 7 years old and he is very close with his brother. He calls me mommy but only when I'm saying goodbye or goodnight but I will take it, lol. I couldn't imagine my life without him and I accept him for the way he is.

What was you origonal song? I have a very close friend with autism She has opened my eyes in manny ways. Never forget autism is a gift! I am currently working on a theorey and I was hopping you wouldn't mind sharing your thoughts.

do you notice something diffrent about your son's eyes? I noticed that my friends eyes have something about them that draws you in she has a look in htem that I can't explain but I have noticed it in the eyes of others with autism I know. What are your thoughts?

The original song was Everything I do I do for you. My son is very visual. I do believe he sees things that I can't. I'm not sure if thats what you mean or not. Thank you for watching.

Today he is doing much better, he talks and plays and on good days I hear those 3 yours that will break a mothers heart I LOVE YOU.

Words of encouragement.....keep your head up, don't ever stop fighting-even when they say there is nothing they can do and always remember God gives special children to special people. Good bless.

I just go day by day and try not to look at the future but Chad is so much better today. He is finally in IBI and is talking, mostly repeating what I say but its a start. Good luck to you and your son. Thank you for watching. I am upset that they took the music out of my video. It's so much better with the music.

The video makes me cry every-time. All of it is exactly the way I feel. Such beautiful little boys yours and mine.

@Jaime2830 Everything in your video is how I feel and it makes me cry. Thanks for making it and speaking for mothers who love their autistic kids but still feel the pain. We feel guilty about feeling the pain. We feel we betray our child by feeling it, but we can't help it, especially when we are still learning to adjust and accept.
