The Face of Autism: It May Surprise You

My son Max is Autistic. I think a lot of people have incorrect perseptions of what Autism is, and I hope this video helps them see the beauty of my son Max. He is a sweet, sweet boy who deserves funding for therapy. With the right therapy and early intervention, the possibilities for him are endless.

You're son is just sooo precious and beautiful!!! This video brought tears to my eyes! I can hear in your voice the adoration and complete love you have for your son. He is absolutly amazing, and I hope that you have the funding for therapy as you had indicated that this was something you hoped for. Praying for your family...but it looks to me, that he already has an amazing start at home with such a loving mommy!

My nephew did not speak until 5. A year later he is perfectly normal. For thousand's of years we called it "late bloomers"... These little folks all grew up normal. Your son looks perfectly normal except for a camera in his face. Ask for tax dollars if he is not speaking by 7 years old.

I was just wondering, when you mentioned therapy, what sort of therapy is it? I know ABA is a big thing in the US and I'm an ABA'er myself, but in the U.K. To see the significant impact therapy and a loving family can have on a child's development is really great! x

Omg, what a gorgeous little boy! His condition may be debilitating, but he has the advantage of an excellent Mummy! Best wishes to you all.

@volimsline i agree. why is it they label introverts as autistic and not loud, stupid, needy extroverts... psychiatry is the work of the devil. this guy seemed completely normal... reading books at such a young age = mentaly ill. this world is fucked up. dont give him any therapy and make him stupid he juts might be inventing a cure for cancer or something. he's probably cleverer than the parent who decided to condition him as psychiatrists naively lulled them into.
