Wow, it's so beautiful. My son has Autism, he is 12 now. He is doing very well and is in main stream school. Never ever lose hope. Embrace this very special angel that you have been given, I heard once that god never gives you anything you can not handle. You have been chosen to show your angel the world. God bless to you and again never give up. Heidi x

The song is so beautiful. I can't listen to it without crying. I can't imagine what it must be like to have something wrong with your child. This is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful little girl and her parents.

I didn't know you before I watched this video, but your song and your photographs made all of you come alive for me. What a beautiful child! Thank you for allowing all of us to see, however briefly, into your private world.

The time and effort that went into this video was obviously done out of the greatest love that a parent has for a child. Those who were involved in the making of this video gave their all and then some. What a beauitful song and video. I am sure that everyone who sees it will never forget it. Sophia is very fortunate to have so many people love her so much. She is precious in God's eyes!

What a beautiful little girl. We too are affected by this horrible epidemic, and I share all of the thoughts, words and prayers in your song. We also have a video on this site, and I invite you to meet our son, Jackson. Thank you for your part in increasing awareness. As parents of these children - it is our responsibility to help others understand our children and their disorder. I pray every day that these kiddos will get better and we will find the missing piece. God Bless.

What a beautiful song with beautiful pictures. She is a lovely little girl with a strong family, she will get better. Just take one day at a time, one accomplishment at a time and you. God Bless you and your family for sharing your song and your feelings.

Mike! I want to help you if I can... What a beautiful song and photos and your precious daughter! My autistic son improved dramatically after we put him on casein and gluten free diets and special vitamin suplements. Have you tried it? I really encourage you to do it! God bless you and your family!
