Thank you all for posting these comments. My family and I have read every response and we are very grateful for you kind thoughts. That this video has been viewed as many times as it has is overwhelming to us. We are glad that our boys’ love have touched so many in such a good way.

I cried through the whole thing. Thank you, thank you. My sons support each other (the oldest has Asperger's) also in a wonderful way. Your family is so blessed. I plan on sharing this with my coworkers. I am a special ed. aide at a public school. We need to get more information out there. This video is a great tool. Thank you for creating this.

There is no love stronger than the "Love Seen Through the Eyes of a Child". God Bless These "Special Little People"!

Matthew,you are a wonderful big brother to Jake. You are very special. I am sure that your mom and dad are so very proud of you and Jake. Jake, you are such a wonderful little brother for Matthew who loves you so very very much! Thank you, Scott, Carla, Matthew and Jake for sharing your hearts with all of ours. I too cried through the whole video. It is beautiful and touching. The love your children share for each other and that you give to them is so powerful and heartwarming.

What a wonderful video. I have a son who is on the spectrum and I know that my daughters are a huge help and a wonderful advocate for their little brother, as well as others with disabilities. Thank you for sharing and God bless you!

I can't get enough of this. Both your boys clearly have sweet, kind souls as does my autistic son. The outpouring of love between them touches me to the core. Thanks for sharing your uplifting message with all of us.

Too often the focus is on curing autism rather than supporting the kids and families of peple with autism to be as successful as possible. I thought this video conveyed a very positive slant on life with autism.

These 2 Brothers are doing a wonderful job helping each other and they are forming a strong loving relationship. Good for them! I have watched your video 3 times. My son has Aspergers and he is in a regular Highschool now. I've been through what you are going through. My advice: Make everyday a lesson. Have FUN and laugh as much as you can. We all LEARN from our mistakes and tears, teachers, tutors and IEP meetings. I bought the sing along books and speaking typewriters. My son picked out wrist and ankle weights at the sporting good store. He also loved to jump on a trampoline, or he would hide under a ton of pillows. Pressure on the body does help to relax. I video taped myself weekly reading and dancing with my children. When we watched the tapes on TV the children would imitate themselves, clapping and twirling. We must take this opportunity to inform the people that children with autism need acceptance and eventually jobs. Please World, Be Kind to our children, we need your support. Thanks for sharing your video with us.

The relationship you showed is the relationship my daughter has with her 10 year old autistic brother. It is beautiful beyond words. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the fabulous video. I can relate to your children. In fact, I have two children: the younger son is PPD-NOS. His brother is a role model: interacting, communicating, helping and more important sharing the love for each other. Sharing the action for love is a lot stronger than saying it in verbally.

This video helps my son's own little world seem bigger, and kinder. Thank you for making this! A cure would be wonderful, but truly the real problem is ignorance.
