This was very well done. I have a 4 year old daughter who was diagnosed with Autism a little over a year ago, so I completely understand what your family is experiencing. As I sat here watching this, I cried because I thought about the fact that my daughter may never have the life experiences that I had growing up. I am frequently on websites researching funding for her schooling. Her tuition for half day school is $25000 of which we were blessed with a $20000 scholarship, but once she goes to full day school the tuition increases to $50000 but the scholarship remains the same. I dont know what we are going to do. All I can do is pray and hope for a miracle, because thats exactly what it will take. I wish you and your family the best. God Bless!

The world you are looking for without autism is fast approaching. The scriptures tell of a world where there will be 'no sickness,pain,sorrow or death.' there is no sickness, pain,sorrow or death in heaven, these things are here on earth. It is a guarantee Jesus made when he walked on earth. He preformed these miracles to show he has the power to remove them. He even raised the death. Look into Isaiah 11:6-11 where it says a child will play with a lion, and have his hand on the hole of a cobra, this is not in heaven. Vs. 11 shows it will take place on earth. Something that hasn't taken place yet or in the past. Adam had no children in paradise--this is future. And close at hand.

I know the feeling, I have 2 boys with Autism. One has Asperger's Symdrome and the other has Severe Autism with OCD. It is tough for them but they are doing great. I started them early getting a diagnosis and providing them with early intervention. But getting a doctor that knew what was going on was very difficult. Make sure when you go to have your child evaluated the doctor is fully knowledgeable in the Autism spectrum. There is research out there, and they are doing great things, but they need money to do it. Please support Autism research. You can find more information by going to http://www.autismspeaks.org

fools. Autistic people are geniuses. Stop pitying them because they really don't need it

My heart goes out to all dealing with the effects of autism. I worked with someone whos child was diagnosed with the worst form of autism. They wanted more children and the doctors told them they would be fine. Little did they know there second son would be diagnosed with it also. They have a daughter also, so far she is showing no signs at all. May God lead the health care professionals to a discovery soon on a way to successfully treat this condition and the true cause and wipe Autism off the face of the earth.

Loved the video...what a beautiful child! My own daughter, Ellany, was diagnosed with autism 5 years ago. Every day is a challenge, but so worth having her sweet spirit in our family. :0)

God has blessed me with a beautiful child who has Asperger's Syndrome. Every day I thank the Lord for giving me such a precious gift who brings me such love beyond measure. I cannot imagine my life without my little boy. More so, I cannot imgaine how I got along without him in my life, before he was born.

We have a 9 yr old son diagnosed with Asperger's, Anxiety Disorder, Sensory Processing, and OCD. He also has seizure disorder. We also have three other children. As hard as some days are in our house, I would never change it for the world. Our son is who is because he is who GOD wanted him to be. He is a loving and caring child that is constantly misunderstood. We love and except him for who he is. He does receive services and has since he was 3, however he is still struggling. Kudos to you for spread Autism Awareness! I think this video was wonderful. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOUR FAMILIES!

Why must we fight about our beliefs. Let's try and love each other. The world can be cruel. We need to make it a better place.

my name is Kelsey, i am 20 years old, and i have Asperger's Syndrome. i was undiagnosed until i was 12. i am not defined by this disorder. true, it is a part of my life, and has always been an aspect of it and has helped form who i am today. i can say for a fact that my parents helped to pull me through all of the crap in my life, and helped me to bridge the gap between my world, and the rest of society. what kind of world do i want? i want a world in which people who disagree can forget their anger and disagreements to remember that they can help change things together. we are all affected by this in one way or another, and we want to change the way the rest of the world sees us. how about coming together in common understanding of our struggles. im disappointed to read comments and see that this is not true. remember the video and what it speaks of. you cannot force your beliefs on others, but you can share in their trials. regardless of what they believe. thats what i want to see change in. i respect everyone for being strong for your loved ones. i know that helped me.

Parents with Autistic children need education, encouragement and support. Prayers shouldn't hurt, especially if you believe there's no One to hear them. Being rude on a board like this just may get YOU prayed for too! :o) Beautiful song and video!! I will share it!

God bless you and keep you and your family held close in his arms.

I cannot believe anyone would use this forum to dispute the existence of God. This forum is to share ideas with/about anyone involved in any way with autism.

I am an elementary school teacher who has been blessed with the opportunity to work with children with autism every summer. These children are some of the most beautiful children I have ever worked with. To all the parents out there: learn to love the tiny milestones and to see the beauty in communicating without speaking.
