Here's the story -- well, the first five years -- in the life of Quinn: a wonderful, exuberant, mostly non-verbal boy with autism. You can see how the signs appeared over time, even before his diagnosis was made at 21 months.
*** Teachers/schools/community service groups: You may use this video as part of autism awareness or positive educational training. No additional permission is required. (I can provide a higher-resolution version if needed.)
* TO THE HATERS: Quinn did not watch TV for hours each day. He learned the credits mostly from the DVD boxes that he carried with him everywhere. (And if you want to leave a rude/arrogant/stupid/mean comment... well, I'd suggest you worry less about my parenting skills and more about those of your own mom and dad.)
NOTE: Unfortunately, I no longer have the faceautism.org domain name mentioned in the video -- so I have no idea what might end up on there. Sorry.

I am a single father of a 4 year old autistic child who is my entire life. Well, today I let an employee w/ a bad attitude go and following that, this person said the most insulting (and disgusting) thing I have ever heard. This sicko pointed reference to "my stupid autistic daughter!" Going to see who would like this person's contact info so perhaps she can hear from other parents and those who are affected by with autism how they feel about comments such as this?
my brother who passed away at 19 was on the low end of the spectrum - only ever spoke a few words - needed assistance with the bathroom (never went #2 in the toilet!) had extremely violent outburst and obsessive compulsive behavior (took more than 6 baths a day and always wanted to go on never-ending car rides) I am always frustrated when I mostly see the picture being painted of autism is truly what is called aspergers - to this day I do not feel that a true picture is being painted of autism
I love posititve Autism Awareness this is a very well done video. Supporting Autism Awareness can be done by everyone here every day all you have to do is wear and Item its a great conversation starter I got mine at tshirtblitzco on zazzle, but whateever you do talk about it. Kudo Mom this is truly on e of the best videos on You tube.
wow, thank you for this video, my son is just like your son (he is only 2 years old right now) he was just diagnosised with autism, he also stacks cans, watchs movies for as long as i'll let him & lines up his cars perfectly, gets really mad if me or anyone else messes them up. Thank you for sharing this video of your son :-)
When I watched your video I was taken aback by the "stacking" as it isn't my autistic son who "stacked" things but my other son....who isn't autistic....but is extremely gifted and intelligent....interesting..ma kes me wonder if there IS something genetic going on...btw my brother has aspergers....mmm.....thanks for sharing your video with the world....your son is darling...hope all is well with you... autism mom in san diego
