My youngest is now 5 and he has nonverbal Autism. This song made me cry, I live it and breathe it everyday, my son is my heart and soul and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world!! (Strength, Patience, Hope, Faith, and LOVE) to all of you that have a child or know someone with Autism.
Scott, as someone who's been living with Autism since the age of 2 and a half, this song really made me weep. I'm so thankful for you mate as you are just one of a number of people out there who are making songs about living with Autism. We will most likely never meet lad, but I want to thank you once again for this song as it is really, really uplifting and emotional.
I thank you too Scott. I saw your X factor audition over a year before I decided I wanted to sing. I used to just hide behind the piano and couldn’t express myself with my voice, but watching the likes of yourself Olly Murs and one direction made me wanna give singing a go
I have Aspergers and no one understands what I go through. They call me weird and I'm all alone. I do know that I'm not the only one on the planet, but I am proud to see the world a different way that most people can't.
I have Aspergers too....I was bullied for it everyday of my life and don't have friends....I get picked on because of my weird interactions I have with people and everything. No one understands me either since we know what to say but can't find the words to say it or don't know how to say or show it
As an Aspie I have to say, Thank You. For once I've found a song that doesn't patronise or belittle our differences. You have no idea how much it means.
I was recently diagnosed with Autism 2 years ago and this song really hits me hard and explains exactly how I feel. Thank you so much you are amazing God bless you.
Hello Scott and all the people that are here or nearby... As an AuDHD (autism + ADHD) person it was amazing to find this song, which is certainly an anthem! All respect, thanks a lot!! I cried and my heart is so gratefull right now. It gives hope and strength for all of us, ´cause we still have to deal and manage with huge difficulties, impact and various impairments in daily life. Besides all the suffering and damage being on the spectrum is a unique journey experience. It's a relief and also strengthens to know that we're not alone... there are incredible and wonderful people on the spectrum. Thanks again! I wish us all the best and that we can strengthen and help each other more and more!
'Through My Eyes' is one of the most beautiful songs around. Scott James moved people to tears at the Autism Sunday 2013 services in Romford and Woodford Green - both venues were packed to the rafters. People were visibly moved. 'Through My Eyes' is also on the historic and ground breaking - 'Autism - The Album,' the first ever compilation album on autism from the United Kingdom. The song invites you to step into the shoes of a person with autism - wherever you are in the world. Thank you Scott.
My father sent me this song one day before he died frum lung cancer. Thanks for the upload. I listen for this song for last 3 years since he passed away.
I've been searching for this song for so long. Used to listen to it all day every single day for almost all of highschool and it feels really good to find it again :] it's meant a lot to me over the years
Hey Scott, it’s Bessie one of your former sub domain. I remember you telling me that you hated leaving your home but would sing during bingo games. I’m so happy for you. I come back and listen to this song all the time. It especially hits home now because my son may be autistic. You are a definite gem and one of the kindest people I’ve ever had the chance to know be it online.
Hi Bessie! It's been a long time! Thank you so much for your kind comments. Your son has a wonderful Mom to back him up whether he is diagnosed on the spectrum or not. Congratulations by the way! I hope you've both been doing amazingly. Huge love to you both. ❤️
Hi buddy! Doing well thanks, and you? I've moved on to other projects but this channel and song remains to hopefully share it's message in the years to come. Wishing you all the best.
As a singer with autism, I want do thank Scott James for opening the door for so many of us. Whenever I sing a song, I am standing on Scott's shoulders!
This describes me perfectly! I was officially diagnosed with Autism as a kid, but the information was withheld from me! I didn’t learn about it until 4 years ago- and I’m 60!
Same thing with us. I and my husband. Now diagnose, 60 and 63 years old, I and my husband. Life before. Used, lyies, mobbing, misstreated like idiots and rapes. Now proud, we know who we are, just waiting for critiks, now, so strong, nobpfy dares, ❤
very moving song Scott. My son has Aspergers and there's been some difficult times in his life but our Lord has blessed me with this son and hearing this song helps me understand more how he feels. Thank you and may God continue to bless your life
You made me think of my mom and dad with me. I have autism and my mom and dad always told me I can do anything other people can do. Also i excelled in history and math because I focused on them a lot especially American hostory
Very touching and so true, I have a 10 yr. grandson with autism, and everyday we see him doing and saying more than the day before...there is hope for our children..... Mahalo
amazing truly amazing. thankyou for sharing this song with us. my son has autism and after I played him this song he was quiet for a long time then he simply said "finally someone gets me" most comforting 4 words he has ever spoken. Thank you xxx
OMG. I cried 😥 Such a beautiful song. Having recently finding out my now 17 year old daughter has Autism, level 3, after struggling for many years trying to find out what was wrong, this song sums her up perfectly!!!? Thank you Thank you Thank you. Big thanks to Valerie Foley for putting pen to paper and writing this 🙌 👏 💞💞💞
Wow...this really touched me. It has me in tears. My wonderful 8 1/2 year old daughter was diagnosed w/Autism at the age of 18 mos. It's been a challange but like everything else, knowledge is power! It's essential for us as parents and siblings to get the word out! This song speaks volumes! I love it!
I work with autistic people and let me tell you - They are absolutely amazing. They may be lacking in some ways but are brilliant in others. Let them be free. Go Scott Go.
Beautiful! Simply beautiful! My son was diagnosed with Autism 7 years ago and is now 15. This songs explains beautifully what Autism is. Thank you for sharing!!
This song makes me cry every single time i hear it...my son was diagnosed at 3. he was not saying any words, 7 months later he is saying some words and is teaching me new things every single day
Thank you for making this song; it's honestly rare to find some actually accurate songs out there about living with autism that are written by actually autistic people, so it's absolutely incredible to find this lovely song from over thirteen years ago. Hope you're happy right now dude, you deserve it
I’m on repeat #5... my twin brother has autism. I am in tears listening to this because every time he has an outburst it’s hard not to get upset at him because I know he is having anxiety. This helped me feel what he feels
This is wonderful! Congrats on the nomination and I hope that you win. You are a prime example of what courage and determination looks like. God bless!
I am a mother of 3.yr authistic boy. This song tuched me down deep in my soul. I have cried listening it. Thank you! My son has walked a mile with me last 1,5 year and he is 90% rehabilitated, well speak, laugh, included in society (regular kindergarden). But this song take to the surface all what I have felt during last 1,5 year. Ines
You are AMAZING! You are an Inspiration to so many. May Creator bless you as you grow even stronger and in helping those suffering with Autism or any handicap to see that anything is possible..Keep them coming Scott..You are a true blessing of hope and love..Emenv...
Very touching song...my son has autism and i know the struggle it can be but with the time,love, and understanding it worth seeing the smile on his face when he accomplishes something that may seem small to many but it a big step for him.
I´m the mother of a 4 year old boy with autism...this song really helps me to understand, what it´s like to be him...thank you for an amasing song, and thank you for rasing awarness of this "sickness".
my son has autism and is the most amazing boy. He is four years old and just started at a specialist school. The staff are amazing and he has settled well. he is a truley adorable child and if we had the power to change anything about him, we wouldn't. he is fab just the way he is!!!!!
hi,Scott im from phi ls working in bharain the first time i see and heared your voice you make me cry...you touch my heart be my one of my greatest inspirations thank you scott.
Scott, I have aspergers and listening to this song touches me deep down and reflects my past of all the things that I regret in my life and hopefully non-autisum people can understand those like me who have autism can live with our human brothers and sisters.
Hello Scott, Let me start by saying that you have an amazing voice!! You realy moved me with your sound and lyrics. You are a inspiration to a lot of people, but especially for autistic people. I have a daughter with autism, and there are so many people who are scared of that word, because they do not know what it means! They think autistic people are stupid, strange, not able to feel emotions, idiots or dangerous. You prove them wrong, and that makes me so proud! Goodluck for you Scott!!!
my 11 year old son has autism.. we have this street karaoke about once amonth. they cant do it inside anymore unfortunately so we have waited and finally they are doing it this month!! he always sings about 4 songs he is really good. they always go "oh hes so cute" till he get up and wows them. people who knows him KNOW though. they love him now everyone in town knows him from this. i think he will be a singer one day. hes always singing in his room.
I love to see people like you Scott. I've got Asperger's and a I met a friend in High School who's whole family has autism. My friend, his brother, mom and dad all have Asperger's and his sister is Autistic. I have a lot of potential to be good at different talents, but I've never really pursued them. But seeing someone like you make it this way...I can imagine being there with you and it makes me wish I could cry. If I ever meet you can I hug you?
Scott, you have a wonderful voice that you have the capability to deliver the words of every song to heart. hat is all about intertaining the audience. love your voice :)
Beautiful Scott, just great! I am a singer but I gave up performing which I miss. You have your whole life ahead of you to create and be appreciated. Congratulations on making it! I wish you all the success you have worked so hard to achieve. in every area of your life!!
What a beautiful song Scott, yes it did make me cry ! My son is 11 and has only been diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome for 14 months and it is difficult getting people to accept him and help him .
I burst into tears after watching this too. After being diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at 10 years old & now 30, these lyrics define my life as an Aspie during every day of my life. People have often mocked me or rejected me 'n so on because I am "not normal" which is a lonely feeling. Now living with a roommate & owning a Black Lab/English Setter mix while being a Believer in Christ, I no longer have the constantly lonely feeling anymore. Just shared this video on Facebook, mind you :)
I understand what you go through. My son is pdd nos and its not easy for.him. Im glad u did.this people need to know their loved no matter what and realize their not alone. People need to realize how hard it is. Thank you. You were brave to post this.
I have aspergers and im super proud of it! Aspies and auties unite! Acceptance not cure. My NT fiance and i know we with autism are perfect as we are as are NTs. We are different. Not less. Dont let anyone tell you you need to be fixed or cured. You are lovely as you are. Stay true to yourself and help to educate others about acceptance and about not worrying about cures or causes. Just acceptance, accomodations and understanding. :)
I’d rather have a cure! I happen to know for a fact that normals will never turn a blind eye to meltdowns, echolalia, obsessions, and stimming! They all look and sound funny and scary to normals- and no amount of “education” is going to change their minds! I’m an Autistic, and I would do anything to be normal!
You have inspired me Scott, amazing voice and courage, from New Zealand we wish you success beyond your dreams, you see they really can come true. D Hall
As the Mum of a child with an ASD the lyrics to this song make so much sense and helps to capture the world as he must experience it at times. Thank you so much to all involved.
I was diagnosed with high functioning autism when I was 3 years old. School was a big struggle for me because teachers and students did not understand me or knew what I needed. This year I graduated college with a fine arts associate's degree. I am happy that I am done with school. I don't know if I want to continue school. But I do know that this song did make me cry and it relates to me so much. The thought of me going out in the world without parental supervision (especially since I am 21 years old) seems scary to me. Thank you for making this song.
Scott James, you are incredibly talented and a testimony to everyone out there who struggles with autism. This song beautifully encompasses what it is like to be a truly different, yet beautiful person.
He's blessed to have you in his corner! What a great brother you are! I hope you find happiness and a safe place to live for both of you. There is help out there for you both try to find some,however you are greatest source of help right now for him just by being there. Be happy! By the way check out the Autcast: Autism and Aspergers Community on Facebook there is a lot great people there who can offer guidance and help for both of,you. you guys are not alone in this. good luck to you guys.
You are an inspiration. I have a little boy who is currently 5 and has autism and this is one of my favourite songs to listen to. I heard it for the first time in 2009 being sung by Thanh Bui to raise money and awareness for Autism in Aus but hearing this song sung by someone who has autism and understands what its like makes this song have so much more meaning.
Scott James you are a gift to this world mate, Keep up the great work!!! My son is autistic, he was diagnosed at 3 with high functioning autism he is now 6, he is my trooper!! Thanks for such a beautiful & inspiring song Scott, Was very special!!! LOVE IT!!!
Thank you Scott James for that song I have high functioning autism and life for me has always been a struggle nothing comes easy for me songs speaks a lot of truth I have always been bullied or picked last cause of it I teared up when I saw it It's good to know there are those who understand my struggle Corey Seiden
i love this song makes me understand a bit more on how my son is feeling he is none verbal autism and i love him and ill never change him for the world xx
Thrill bumps ~ I recently wrote a book about my incredible child Connor. Look for Connor's Gift Embracing Autism in this new age. These magnificent people are changing the world for the better, one person at a time ~
My brother, my best friend, my inspiration, my family, the person i go to to talk to, has autism. And I will continue to hold his hand and protect my brother thow his who life when people put him down
I know you originally went out to change people's opinions about autism and inspire those with it. What you managed to do was make me realize I had absolutely no idea what it meant to be autistic... and in the process inspiring me as well. Thank you for your bravery and your generosity in sharing your gift with all of us. The world just became a little better place.
I've loved this song and your wonderful voice since I heard it months ago. My 12 year old grandson is autistic and it's him, I have shown this video to all my friends and they all agree, you are the best. Thank you for making my family see the world through his eyes xx
Thankyou so much for doing this! just watched the autism file and instantly had too look this up you are AMAZING! and the stuff you are doing is superb my brother has aspergers and is a budding music artist too! < 3 you have really given us some hope! x
In the 1980s I was diagnosed with adhd add and a learning disability. In 2023 the learning disability is now called autism. I just learned this a few weeks ago . I wish I would have known before now. It could have saved everyone in my life the pain and struggles they went through.
My youngest is now 5 and he has nonverbal Autism. This song made me cry, I live it and breathe it everyday, my son is my heart and soul and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world!! (Strength, Patience, Hope, Faith, and LOVE) to all of you that have a child or know someone with Autism.
My boyfriend has Autism
Scott, as someone who's been living with Autism since the age of 2 and a half, this song really made me weep.

💙
I am crying right now.. it's so me... how I've always felt my entire life.
I have Aspergers and no one understands what I go through. They call me weird and I'm all alone. I do know that I'm not the only one on the planet, but I am proud to see the world a different way that most people can't.
JayMacTurbo Blogs you not only one who has it im 11 and still truf
😟
JayMacTurbo Blogs Im like that everyday and I have high function autism and Im 26 this very relatable
I have Aspergers too....I was bullied for it everyday of my life and don't have friends....I get picked on because of my weird interactions I have with people and everything. No one understands me either since we know what to say but can't find the words to say it or don't know how to say or show it
Your not alone i know its hard
Just shout out loud WE ARE ALIVE AND IM PROUD TO BE ALIVE NO MATTER WHAT!
I'm thankful that there are people actually making songs for the autism awareness movement, I've got brother that has autism
me too
Same here
I have it
As an Aspie I have to say, Thank You. For once I've found a song that doesn't patronise or belittle our differences. You have no idea how much it means.
This song is saving my life right now. I can't thank you enough, Scott.
I was recently diagnosed with Autism 2 years ago and this song really hits me hard and explains exactly how I feel. Thank you so much you are amazing God bless you.
My step cousins have autism
Got autism too
This song is great. I have a son that's autistic and I truly believe that God has a plan for his life. I love you Christopher.
Hello Scott and all the people that are here or nearby...
As an AuDHD (autism + ADHD) person it was amazing to find this song, which is certainly an anthem!
All respect, thanks a lot!! I cried and my heart is so gratefull right now. It gives hope and strength for all of us, ´cause we still have to deal and manage with huge difficulties, impact and various impairments in daily life.
Besides all the suffering and damage being on the spectrum is a unique journey experience.
It's a relief and also strengthens to know that we're not alone... there are incredible and wonderful people on the spectrum.
Thanks again!
I wish us all the best and that we can strengthen and help each other more and more!
'Through My Eyes' is one of the most beautiful songs around. Scott James moved people to tears at the Autism Sunday 2013 services in Romford and Woodford Green - both venues were packed to the rafters. People were visibly moved. 'Through My Eyes' is also on the historic and ground breaking - 'Autism - The Album,' the first ever compilation album on autism from the United Kingdom. The song invites you to step into the shoes of a person with autism - wherever you are in the world. Thank you Scott.
My father sent me this song one day before he died frum lung cancer. Thanks for the upload. I listen for this song for last 3 years since he passed away.
As a mum of a 5 year old boy with autism - I absolutely love this song. Brought tears to my eyes - beautiful. Thank you Scott. xx
Hi everyone. I was on the cover for the album. Thank you for all the support these few years on getting autism on the map
Hello @DrFartiwartieZ - Thanks again for lending your face to the single cover! Appreciate you buddy 👍
Eyup williams
Coming from an Aspie, this song is definitely true of me. Describes me in most ways. Nice to see people are actually trying to raise awareness of it.
I've been searching for this song for so long. Used to listen to it all day every single day for almost all of highschool and it feels really good to find it again :] it's meant a lot to me over the years
Hey Scott, it’s Bessie one of your former sub domain. I remember you telling me that you hated leaving your home but would sing during bingo games. I’m so happy for you. I come back and listen to this song all the time. It especially hits home now because my son may be autistic. You are a definite gem and one of the kindest people I’ve ever had the chance to know be it online.
Hi Bessie! It's been a long time! Thank you so much for your kind comments. Your son has a wonderful Mom to back him up whether he is diagnosed on the spectrum or not. Congratulations by the way! I hope you've both been doing amazingly. Huge love to you both. ❤️
Scott James ❤️
I'm crying right now. This is so beautiful. My son has Asbergers and I admire him and love him so greatly!
How is Scott doing now? I had the pleasure of posting his X Factor performance on youtube, all those years ago.
Hi buddy! Doing well thanks, and you? I've moved on to other projects but this channel and song remains to hopefully share it's message in the years to come. Wishing you all the best.

My son is 5 and he is non-verbal. I listen to this all the time to remind me how strong he is :)
very moving song Scott. My son has Aspergers and there's been some difficult times in his life but our Lord has blessed me with this son and hearing this song helps me understand more how he feels. Thank you and may God continue to bless your life
I got through about two lines of this song before I lost it because it reminds me of the beautiful autistic child whom I love with all of my heart.
You made me think of my mom and dad with me. I have autism and my mom and dad always told me I can do anything other people can do. Also i excelled in history and math because I focused on them a lot especially American hostory

I love your song. It inspired me a lot. Thank you. God will prosper you in all your undertakings.
I love to see people like you Scott. I've got Asperger's and a I met a friend in High School who's whole family has autism. My friend, his brother, mom and dad all have Asperger's and his sister is Autistic. I have a lot of potential to be good at different talents, but I've never really pursued them.

Beautiful Scott, just great! I am a singer but I gave up performing which I miss. You have your whole life ahead of you to create and be appreciated. Congratulations on making it! I wish you all the success you have worked so hard to achieve. in every area of your life!!
Thank you Scott for this incredible anthem :)
What a beautiful song Scott, yes it did make me cry ! My son is 11 and has only been diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome for 14 months and it is difficult getting people to accept him and help him .
I burst into tears after watching this too. After being diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at 10 years old & now 30, these lyrics define my life as an Aspie during every day of my life. People have often mocked me or rejected me 'n so on because I am "not normal" which is a lonely feeling. Now living with a roommate & owning a Black Lab/English Setter mix while being a Believer in Christ, I no longer have the constantly lonely feeling anymore. Just shared this video on Facebook, mind you :)
I understand what you go through. My son is pdd nos and its not easy for.him. Im glad u did.this people need to know their loved no matter what and realize their not alone. People need to realize how hard it is. Thank you. You were brave to post this.
Thank you for your song! I have twins that are autistic, little still. This made me cry!
I have aspergers and im super proud of it! Aspies and auties unite! Acceptance not cure. My NT fiance and i know we with autism are perfect as we are as are NTs. We are different. Not less. Dont let anyone tell you you need to be fixed or cured. You are lovely as you are. Stay true to yourself and help to educate others about acceptance and about not worrying about cures or causes. Just acceptance, accomodations and understanding. :)
Little Bat As another autistic person myself, I love this positivity ^^ autism acceptance for sure!
I’d rather have a cure! I happen to know for a fact that normals will never turn a blind eye to meltdowns, echolalia, obsessions, and stimming! They all look and sound funny and scary to normals- and no amount of “education” is going to change their minds! I’m an Autistic, and I would do anything to be normal!
You have inspired me Scott, amazing voice and courage, from New Zealand we wish you success beyond your dreams, you see they really can come true. D Hall
That was beautiful Scott best of luck to you and your career
As the Mum of a child with an ASD the lyrics to this song make so much sense and helps to capture the world as he must experience it at times. Thank you so much to all involved.

I was diagnosed with high functioning autism when I was 3 years old. School was a big struggle for me because teachers and students did not understand me or knew what I needed. This year I graduated college with a fine arts associate's degree. I am happy that I am done with school. I don't know if I want to continue school. But I do know that this song did make me cry and it relates to me so much. The thought of me going out in the world without parental supervision (especially since I am 21 years old) seems scary to me. Thank you for making this song.
my son is autistic and this song really helps me thank you.
My son is as well. I added this song to my liked videos so that I can listen at anytime
Scott James, you are incredibly talented and a testimony to everyone out there who struggles with autism. This song beautifully encompasses what it is like to be a truly different, yet beautiful person.
Absolutely beautiful - the words and music are awesome but the most awesome thing is Scott!!!

i sometimes have the same feelings and i'm not autistic.
But i have been branded all my life.
Bravo !! Mr James.
You are an inspiration. I have a little boy who is currently 5 and has autism and this is one of my favourite songs to listen to. I heard it for the first time in 2009 being sung by Thanh Bui to raise money and awareness for Autism in Aus but hearing this song sung by someone who has autism and understands what its like makes this song have so much more meaning.

Thank you Scott. People like you keep me going. You're great!
Thank you that helps us express our feelings. I have Autism too.
I know you originally went out to change people's opinions about autism and inspire those with it. What you managed to do was make me realize I had absolutely no idea what it meant to be autistic... and in the process inspiring me as well. Thank you for your bravery and your generosity in sharing your gift with all of us. The world just became a little better place.
absolutely beautiful song and singer
I've loved this song and your wonderful voice since I heard it months ago. My 12 year old grandson is autistic and it's him, I have shown this video to all my friends and they all agree, you are the best.

In the 1980s I was diagnosed with adhd add and a learning disability. In 2023 the learning disability is now called autism. I just learned this a few weeks ago . I wish I would have known before now. It could have saved everyone in my life the pain and struggles they went through.
