this song brings me hope, my brother has autism and is thirteen this year. Things seem to get worse as he gets older but were all hoping and wont give up on him.Things that get us down is we dont know anyone else with a autistic family member and we always feel like were being judged.

This is a song of hope, for sure. And I hope it will help you cope. Never give up. Locate "Carly's Voice", a blog by an autistic girl, and it will give you a reason to never give up even more so than our song.

I have autism too. I have written a song to show people what it's like in our world. Please take a minute to have a look if you get a chance, it's so hard for people to understand what it's like for us - hopefully my video will help.

this song is truely inspiratational.

I loved this song. brought tears to my eyes. Thats really my motto "dont give up". My 4 year old daughter Alaina has been diagnosed with ASD and everyday is a struggle to understand how to meet her needs. Through patience and understanding I am growing to be a better mother for her. Life is hard but I will never give up on my baby.

This song brings tears to my eyes because my daughter Zoe who is almost 4 and non verbal is on the autistic spectrum , i love her sooo much because she brings me joy every day, i am a better person because of her. She also has the greatest personality always laughing and dancing also very affectionate more than my other daughter who is not autistic who i find more challenging in many ways. My only problem is with negative attitude and comments.
