Sometimes photos are all that is needed to see the love a family shares...you have it. Don't ever give up...that missing piece is so close. Keep screaming for Mason, our voices need to be heard louder !! Autism needs families like yours. Our son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS and early intervention was the key. He is doing well also...I am happy to say. :) I am happy he is doing so incredibly well. Your hard work, love and dedication to him & your lovely daughter show through your video. It is beautiful & the comment from Grammies & Pappa was touching also.

Our dear beloved grandson, Mason: Pappa and Gammies are so very proud of our "little man". We are also proud of your Mommy, Daddy and your beautiful sister Makayla. You are doing so fantastic in school. You are talking so good now, we love it when you use such words as "awesome" and "disgusting". God put you into our lives for a special reason. You are inspiring to everyone. Keep up your hard work in school. We look forward to playing "CARS" with you. We love every moment we get to spend with our grandchildren. Mason, we are confident there will be a cure soon for you and the millions of other children. We love you: Gammies and Pappa

I am the grandmother of autistic identical twin boys,Joshua and James. The video touches my heart more than words can say. My daughter Bobbie and husband Dave are exceptional parents. My grandsons have come a long way since being diagnosed because both parents have educated themselves and accept their (my 2 angles) with all their heart.I feel truly blessed to have these two little men in my life and know god has chosen our family for a higher reason. The missing piece for all of these children one day I hope will be found. For now I think our love and devotion to all autistic children will fill the void until that day comes. Until I became a grandparent of these special boys I never took the time to see the world around me and the heartache of families who had to deal with this disability each day of their lives. Today I don't allow myself not to notice and pray each day that all our children will one day be the answer to those prayers . To every parent of an autistic child I tip my hat for your bravery and devotion to your special child. To my daughter Bobbie I am so proud of you and the kind of a mother you have become because of josh and james.To all other mothers and fathers I will say a silent prayer that one the missing piece will be found so peace of mind will finally be yours . Keep your strength and never give up hope. Always remember that God never gives us more than we can handle . God bless and give each of you strength and encourgement to deal with the everyday life you deal with. sincerely : sharon buckland
