    It truly makes that little boy who works so hard on the behalf of others like himself sad to see how much ugliness and cruelty exists in our world today. YouTube has been a enlightening experience for him for sure.

    I had no idea there are so many mean-spirited and angry people in the world. I have so much respect and admiration for this little boy with autism. He shows true courage in his advocacy. I feel sad and sorry for the majority of those commenting here who show immaturity and callous. What a sad world we live in today.....

    Nope, not retarded, just has autism. He can actually read and comprehend your words very well. Nice job asshat! Pat yourself on the back for insulting a CHILD with a DISABILITY! That certainly takes a very big person. Disgusts me!

    "Jeez is that kid retarted...."

    "Retarded" has only one D in it, genius. Also, what kind of grubby little lowlife picks on young children?

    Will I have a disability as well I have a learning disability and speech problems . But I respect this kid for asking a question on disability funds and social security funds may go away. In the near future .

    She treated the kid like a dog or cat, but the kid is probably way smarter than Michelle Bachmann.

    I have Autism, I also have a full-time job, do voluntary work, I read and write well, etc. Autism is a neurological condition, which affects how some of us think, react in certain situations, have social communition difficulties, etc.

    However, even those of us with Autism know that Michele Bachmman is religously-brainwashed and absolutely batshit crazy!

    Likewise, so do the people of Iowa, which is why Bachmann scored such an embarrassingly low vote!

    She just focused on how money is spent and didn't present ideas about how to solve the problem
