Liam wanted to talk about his new train items that he got for his birthday. Since his autism diagnosis in 2003, we've noticed HUGE progress in his verbal abilities. In 2005, this conversation wouldn't have been possible. It makes me proud to be able to ask questions and have him answer them appropriately.

  • Spend some time with a child with moderate autism and you'll see a difference. This was my son on a good day. He has major sensory issues, food aversions, is emotionally / developmentally about 4 even though he's 8 years old. Trust me, autism is a disability and the fact that you don't see anything different in this video clip means that all the therapy that we're doing is successful!!

  • @justme1160 that's cute... why don't you go back in your little naive hole now, sweetie... wouldn't want to have to accept the REAL WORLD, now would we?

  • You're such a good mommy. I can tell. I'm a mom of 4, and it's hard work! Very rewarding... but hard work! Sometimes I just forget to sit on the floor, and play with them, and be interested in what they're doing. I think tomorrow I'll do just that. Thanks for inspiring me! Liam and the rest of your gang is beautiful! 

  • and what you say extends to everything in this "society". For example, how do we know that the people we categorize as "mad", "insane" are not actually the normal(not in normal=majority kind of way here) ones?....

  • I used to like trains too, but I was bit younger then he i s here, My name is Serge, I stuembled upon this video by accident and was like "He's just like me at a very young age" Well, maybe not JUST but you know.  ooked like he had alot of fun :)

  • What the hell is autism anyways, a label that we stick on our poor children who ... under someone else's option do not fit someones definition of normal. We live in a system where everyone is encouraged to be themselves, but the most innocent citizens - our children - must meet this strict standard ... they need to be like every other child.

    Keep the label to get the funding. This child is not autistic anymore. Good work...
