How This Works

Wow, that kind of love is the next thing to the Love of God. I was so touched and tearing up. Though we have no idea of what you and William go through day to day, we know that there will be a day when all will be made right and whole. We love you and believe with you!

Trena, that was seriously beautiful. I cried from the first baby picture with those big, bright eyes. You're amazing and your wonderful wonderful family is inspiring. Your kids are so lucky to have you for a mommy!

Sis. Trina, the love and prayers of a mother always overcome. What a beautiful and touching video of William. You truly have captured him in a way that only a mother can. He is a beautiful, wonderful GIFT OF GOD. Our prayers are with you, Bro. Larry, William and Weston. God Bless.

I'm a stranger to you but not autism. That is a beautiful video and you are obviously a wonderful mommy. I will keep your son, William, in my thoughts and prayers as I do all the children with this condition. Hopefully the day will come when Autism is given the full attention it deserves and money doesn't dictate the avenues they research to find the cause. My son as a spectrum disorder and with him I have found that the gluten/dairy free diet has worked wonders for him, especially removing the dairy. Feel free to email me if you like. Many hugs to you, William, and your entire family!

Trina, William and Family: The slide show coupled with John and His Bands' most appropriate song could have easily shown my son Tyler' life. We recieved his diagnosis of PDD/NOS when he was 3. The pictures that we have of Tyler before age 2 show us a happy and playful joyous little boy. After that age he is always distressed and lonely. He has responded well to ABA, Floortime, OT, and speech therapies and now for the most part has become a happy, healthy, loving, caring, somewhat chatty, extremely intelligent, little boy of 5. He attends a LEAP prescholl and will matriculate to mainstream kindergarten in the fall. Trina, you have captured the GOOD feelings that we as parents of ASD kids feel as well as the uncertainty and longing for a "normal" life. Thank you folks for this effort. John

Wow!!! The love of a Mama.....This video really touched home let me tell you. I have a really good friend that has an autistic child and I babysat her kids.I was able to help Jeffrey overcome some of his biggest fears but if I would have just known I beleive I could have helped him more. His biggest fear was Wal-Mart. He would freak out, kick,and SCREAM. I didn't know at the time that this was typical behaviour for some children with autism. I wish the whole world could be educated so that some of our kids could get the help they need. If I could go back 14 years I would definately change ALOT of things.....Hmmmm...can't do that so I must see what the future holds!!!!! Thanks so much!!!! Jennie

So moving...he's a beautiful gift and so very special. You keep fighting...your voice is being heard! Answers are coming, I know they are... Autism NEEDS families like yours. Together, we will find the missing piece.

This is such a beautiful tribute to your son. You are admirable fighting so hard for your son. Getting the word out and doing everything in your power to make positive changes. This video is so heartfelt and loving. You are a wonderful mother! Thank you for letting into your world and sharing your beautiful son.

I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to watch the slideshow. It's hard to explain to people how you feel, how you deal, how you go day to day feeling like your child was stolen from you. To see them slip away and be left with what seems like an empty shell is the worst thing. Every once in awhile you get a glimpse of them and you feel like you've just won a gold medal. William has made me so, so proud of him. He has made leaps and bounds since his diagnosis. Our fight isn't over but with God's help we will make it! God gave me a promise and I'm going to cling to it. Thank you, again. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Trina, You have so touched my heart to feel the Love of a mother through this video! I admire you for taking such a stand for William and this cause. I can say that it's so easy to see the world in our own way...today, you have let me see it through your eyes. I will continue to pray that the Lord will take control of this situation. The Lord will never give us something we can't handle and I can honestly say that God blessed William with such a Precious and Loving Mother!! My Love to You, Larry, William & Weston "God Bless"
