This was a beautiful story. I have a son with Angelman's Syndrome. This syndrome defines alot of overlaping Autistic characteristics. He has been in early intervention therapy since the age of two. Though, he is extremely loved and happy most days, his family longs for him to say something. We can see his frustration with different sounds that he makes but we often wonder what is going on in that pretty little head of his. Our hearts ache for a cure and all related illnesses. We have been told it will be a five year wait for state insurance to help with more interventions.

Very powerful video. I work at a school that has a student with Autism. The behaviors and communication skills of these students are very unpredictable. The student has watched my when signing to a deafblind student and he has picked up on some of it. I think that sign language could benefit Autistic students.

I wasdeeply touched by this video. I work for UCP and have experience working with indiviuals that are affected by autism. The insuurance companies need to pay for required services. Too much time passes by as these individuals wait for services.

We have two boys both on the autism spectrum. Therapy has do wonders for my boys. They are still struggling but have come leaps and bounds. We are continuing to find new neurosesory therapies to help them. some of that reaserch has been funded by Autism speaks. Keep up the good fight.

Their is so many different levels of autism, that it seems impossible to find a cure for the whole dicease. However, from experience woking with these special children for the last 7 years, I've seen the great changes that they experience with education and therapy. My heart goes out to all the families that deal with this disease.

What a beautiful little girl. Every child is a gift from God. I know that he will watch over her and protect her. I hope that the world will wake up and see what is important in life and that soon we will have a cure for Autism and many other illnesses children have to face. Beautiful song, I will pass this on to everyone I know for you. God Bless all of you!

Such a beautiful song! Let's all pray that one day autism will be eradicated by learning the cause and preventing further. In the meantime my prayers and blessings go to all those parents with autistic children.
