    That nearly brought me to tears. Best of luck to Jeremy in his future endeavors, as well as to the rest of the family.

    Awesome, Jeremy, congratulations!

    My favorite part was at the end where the woman comes up and grabs your arm and you just shake her off. :P

    What a beautiful video! Jeremy and Chantal . . . you are both awesome and inspiring! Congratulations! Will be reading the book "41 Things to Know . . ." this summer. Feel that we have many autistic students in our school who are not getting the correct services. Thank you for giving me direction!

    All the best to both of you from Kathie Sicile's sister Mary

    Hi Mary! Thanks for your message and kind words. Hope my book helps - that one is pretty simple for an easy read. If you need more info, let me know! Kathie knows how to get a hold of me! (Jim made this video, did you know?).

    My best to you and your family,

    Chantal

    This is the biggest scam. Please don't give up hope but these people that promote RPM are fraud praying on parents fears.

    Thank you so much for sharing this - I am a mum to a 12 year old non verbal autistic boy - we are also doing lots of therapies - including Rapid Prompting method and facilitated communication- all underpinned by the son-rise attitude - which is all about believing in the limitless possibilities for your child. I loved watching this! All the best for the future.

    Is there a transcript of this anywhere, for those of us on the autistic spectrum with auditory processing difficulties?
