How This Works

How touching and beautiful, this song and verbage brought tears to my eyes. As I understand autism to a degree, I have a niece and nephew with this disease, it is a mystery. It is really great what you are doing to help inform and educate others who may not have the tolerance to handle a child with such a disability. I pray for a cure for all of you who have children with Autism, and I pray for strength for all of you and your families. God Bless. Keep up the great work YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

As a new parent of a 5 month old I watched this video with tears in my eyes for the children who suffer from it and for their parents... I too fear the possibility that my child may suffer from this disorder... I agree with Karen, WE MUST CONTINUE TO CHALLENGE THE QUESTION: WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM??? ...VACCINES? ENVIRONMENT? FOOD PRESERVATIVES?? I don't know any one directly that suffers from it but knowing the overwhelming number of our children who suffer from it is enough for me to support this cause!!! This is trully a touching video!

What a great song! My son, Mason is 12 and is a child with autism. He amazes me every day with his courage, strength and views of the world. Thank you for doing your part to raise even more awareness about Autism.

Lovely video. I fear that people with autism aren't being accepted as themselves. In all the calls for cures for autism and treatments to eradicate this condition, what's can parents like us do to accept and to help others accept the present condition? Is this desire in conflict with wanting to help them also learn and grow? I want to love and accept my 10-year-old son for all of his traits, including the ways in which he's autistic, which help define him as an individual.

Beautiful campaogn for a cause that is afflicting so many of our children today. I don't know anyone who does not know of a child with autism personally anymore. My friends with children who have been diagnosed have been very lucky with the advanced therapies. Now we need to get it for all of the children with this heartbreaking illness. NOW!

What a awesome song. I am a parent of an eleven year Autisic young man. Times have not been easy for us along the way but it is a blessing to see that Autism has finally come to the front burner. It has been on the back burner for so long that we are losing our precious children along the way. It is time that the insurance and medical world start to work together to help us find a cure and get our kids the medical help they need. Nothing is worse as a parent then to lose your precious child to this disorder. Thank you! God Bless you!

Thanks so much for the work you're doing. My son began therapy at 2 and was diagnosed with sensory integration at 3. It has made all the difference in the world. He's a totally different child today (at 5) and it's because of the therapy he received so early on. I wish every child could attend the wonderful school that has made all the difference to my son. God Bless You!!!!

Let's keep asking the question "What is causing this"?

My nephew has Asperger's syndrome and I've seen how it has affected his life. I pray for all those who are affected by Autism and thanks to Five for Fighting for their generous donations to this cause!

This is amazing. I am a teacher and see so many of these students in our school daily. They need to be given more oppurtunities for support than they are given. This is an amazing thing you are doing. Good Luck to you.

Thank you for this - it helps to know that someone cares - if only every family with Autism could access effective and timely treatment without going bankrupt in the process...

How do I play the song?

What a beautiful and moving video! My son is among the many diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder...by age 2 and a half we knew he had PDD-NOS. He was lucky, we live in a state where Early Intervention is paid for through the Health Department and at age three, local school districts. I can't imagine what his life would be like if he hadn't had the intensive intervention early in on. Thank you for creating this piece...for raising awareness and working to find answers for the many children who are not as fortunate as my son.
