How This Works

I find this video extremely moving. I am a teacher of special need children. I work with many children that have autism. I video bring me back to a child that I have had in 5th grade, who had a brother with autism and he has done so many wonderful things for him. He never leaves his side. I hope that one day a video like this would be move others to get involved with autism. Also, I would love to give my student the chance to shine because of all the hard work and sacrifice that he has given is little brother. I send my blessings to your supportive family, and my God bless all of you. Sincerely, John Giancaspro

I have 2 young boys, (2 yrs. and 10 months old). My older son is autistic. I hope and imagine all the time what great friends they will be and how much they will rely on each other. I hope to be making a video like yours one day! And congrats!

That had to be one of the greatest videos of brotherly love I think I've ever seen. Those two are probably the luckiest kids in the world to have a family like theirs. God Bless you all, and Five For Fighting for doing this.

I could barely keep from crying, your boys are so beautiful together. This video really opened my eyes and my heart to the incredible emotional bonds all siblings have, especially those with special needs. God bless your family.

Umm. Thanks Nancy but we have not heard from anyone that the video was picked. How did you find out? And... God bless you as well, we hope every autistic kid finds themselves a brother or sister or friend like Matthew.

My name is Colton and I'm ten years old. I have high functioning autism. It's pretty hard sometimes cause I loose my temper pretty easily. My favorite activity is playing with my little brother Corbin. I love Yugioh cards and vidieo games. My family is great and I'm glad they treat me well. Sometimes I have a hard time at school but I'm greatful for my teachers and friends that are willing to try and understand me and help me. My best friend is Roberto. Autism - it's not like you think.

I have a big brother that has autism. Sometimes it's hard but I'm glad to be his brother and do what I can to help him. Thanks for being my brother Colton. I love my brother so much.

I'm touched! With my fullest respect and admiration to all who has to deal with autism in the family, especially to my friend Irene, "keep looking up, that's where miracle comes from".

The video is just beautiful. I wish the world could love like the boys in the video. You can see the love in their eyes. What a blessing for all of you. My husband and I adopted one of our foster children who has FAS and Autism (along with a dozen other diagnosis) and his brother (our youngest son) have a similar relationship. Thank you for sharing.

I hope this film inspires more siblings to embrace the love and advocacy that their parents have been doing. My sister and I thank you.

This video got to me because I have two siblings who have a touch of autism. And the way this little boy looks up to his big brother makes me think if I'm doing the same with me siblings. I want them to know I love them very much the way the are because their apart of my life. I thank god for making Ryan and Erin apart of my life. I am so proud of you guys. I Love You!
