i like this video alot but i wish people would stop refuring to autism as kidnapping souls....their souls are till there they just have their own way of letting you know it's there. The key is to learn how to cope with autism.

I am thankful that people can express themselves honestly about how Autism impacts their lives. There are those days where I feel hopeless as well and that is perfectly alright. I wouldn't be human if I didn't feel a range of emotions about the impact Autism has had on our lives. I allow myself to have that moment and then I move on. I agree with fimail70, this experience has brought me closer to my son than most people I know are with their children. I love him more than my own life.

My mind and personality have not been stolen. I have a higher IQ than many people. Do I "suffer" from Autism? Some days. But I suffer from other people's prejudice most days. I am seen as an easy target for gossips, bullies and manipulators, but somehow they are the "normal" ones that I should aspire to be like. sigh

I commend this effort, but what about the non-verbal autistic children and adults? Just a thought......

OMG I have autism and two of those people were from All Saints which was my obsession!!!!

i think the reason they say this is to convey the importance of trying to find a cure. I love my 6 yo ASD son but i would be fooling myself if i preferred him like this and not cured. Brilliant TVC.

*chuckle* I remember the struggle I had in a queue with my kids to get autographs from Justine Clarke! I ended up waiting about an hour for the queue to shrink so that we only had to wait a few minutes in a line! I was exhausted by the time we reached her!

I agree. Up until that point, this video was an absolute WINNER! What a shame they had to go down that track. I have never felt like my kids were stolen from me. Certain opportunities, yes (like going out to dinner like a "normal" family, lol!) but not my children. I feel like I am actually closer to them than I would have been if they had been typically developing kids and it has made me become a "better" mother.
