Your video brings up strong emotions for me. My older brother is four going on forty-seven. He's mentally retarded and has been beaten, starved, emotionally and psychologically abused ever since he was forced out of Georgia Retardation Center over twelve years ago.

There are plenty of people like Bobby and others who still get treated like he was or worse. Many former clients that I have known since I was a boy are no longer alive because of the "community" providers in my state.

OMG! This video is so offensive to those of us who actually have Autism ~ This video makes us look like rocking, drooling morons! THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT AUTISTIC PEOPLE! PLEASE REPORT & FLAG THIS VIDEO AS OFFENSIVE!

THANK YOU Sean. I work at a facility for adults with severe and profound mental retardation. I work in the behavior department and I teach a class on Positive Behavior Support. I came across your video a few months ago and have added it into my presentation. I also have a son who has mild to moderate mental retardation and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). so I can not thank you enough for making this song and video.

@sdotlyric,

I'm happy to see the spammer not posting here anymore...very negative and probably posing.

I have 16 years of autism under my belt and there are posers out there, they claim they are aspergers and are against autism organizations, when in reality, they are not aspergers...they are angry, mentally disfunctional(Bi-polor) people who claim a diagnosis for funding and basically go against organizations who could one day dismantle their "cause" as the diagnosis becomes more "pin-pointed

*sigh* I am documented as the type of individual you describe, except that I do not draw on SSI disability despite an unorthodox working life. I'm also a mother who loves her children more than words can say, who would do anything to protect and help her children. I care immensely for disabled people of all ages and I would volunteer to aide them without pay if that were financially practical. I love this song. The spammer is homophobic and disrespectful. Don't stereotype me.
