How This Works

Your children are truely blessed they where born into such a good family. They are truely lovely adorable children. Never give up! I't might be hard but, god never give out more then you can handle. My prayers are with you. When Dr. Temple Grandin was a child, she was labeled autistic (low-functioning) and her parents were told she should be institutionalized. Einstein has been saddled with quite a few labels posthumously - Genius of course, but also Dyslexia, ADD, Autism Spectrum. But perhaps like many who get such labels, he was a different kind of thinker. And maybe it takes a different kind of thinker to be so creative and progressive in his thinking that he could totally revolutionize physics and our view of the cosmos A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on. We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.

What a beautiful video and even more beautiful family! I cried when you announced both boys had this disease, and then again when I watched your very moving video. Just when you think the challenges we are faced with, especially with our children, are more than we can handle you realize some one else has even tougher challenges! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep smiling!

Dear Amy Your video truly touched my heart. My husband and I have a not for profit fundraising organization that for the past 3 years has raised money for children's charities. This year we have pledged to raise $100,000 for Autism. We hope the money raised will help improve the lives of children and their families who are affected by Autism. The pictures of your children will stay in our mind and hearts this year, we can change the world.

What a beautiful video.

I never really thought that love could come through a computer screen but it surely has with the creation of this video. If love could cure autism we would be well finished with that task but it cannot so we must continue to fight for the little souls that cannot fight for themselves...we,as a community, must fight for the research funding so the families can just love their kids and be there for them . Amy and Gary, I am so blessed to know you, your boys and your family. You have created a vision so that the rest of us can see into your world. Some people only touch others when they are grown... the souls of these little boys have begun touching others now.

Your powerful video left us teary eyed, yet proud of our niece and her strong and beautiful family. It is said that God helps those who helps themselves. Boy are you in for some grand blessings!

I work with Kip...This is a beautiful tribute and call to action. The boys are lucky to have such a supportive and loving family.

As a friend of Grandpa Kip, I know how much he loves all his grandchildren. I also know that he's part of the health care community as I am and we'll keep trying to find a cure. These boys are the faces of our future and we're all committed to keep them smiling. Beautiful family and thanks so much for sharing them with all of us.
