    Thank you for doing the talk. I understand so much of what you have shared. I'm 57 years old, my brother is 58. We are the younger of six kids. I have struggled with understanding the things you spoke of. I cried when you started to choke up. Peace. Keep doing public speaking you are gifted.

    I never comment on videos but I'm going to start to hope I can release some of my thoughts, and hopefully relate to some people. This was very touching and I really enjoyed the mix of comedy + reality...this man is inspiring.

      I am very pleased that the Autism Spectrum is comming to be more and more understood, and not as a disability. Only that not all of us are made the same. I have a Godson who was born autistic. His mother, my Goddaughter who is the most courages young lady I have ever known. To give birth to him and care for him from the age of 13. It wasn't of her own free will to have him. To take care of him was.

    I love your humor. Thank you for helping us look at the challenges we face as parents of children on the spectrum in a more light hearted way.

    My sister has a rare chromosomal abnormality and a secondary diagnosis of autism. She is seventeen and I am nineteen, freshly moved out of home, away from my sister for the first time in my life. I loved the humour and empathy in this talk- thank you so much for sharing your experience.

    I love your comments near the end about autism and ADHD being cognitive variations and not deficits and dysfunctions.

    • @alleycat616
      @alleycat616 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      At the same time I don’t think it’s realistic to say that. These behaviors are often very dysfunctional in our society. That’s just the reality. Most people don’t understand. So I don’t think it’s fair to act like these are just simple variations of normal either. If it were, people with autism, their families/parents, teachers etc. wouldn’t have so many struggles to keep things functional for everyone.

    This talk resonates with me so much, as the youngest and with having 2 differently abled siblings, it’s been hard to understand to say the least. I appreciate your view, and I hope to be able to see their weird as normal.

    @rosewater6456 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I have an autistic son. I think your brother may have treated you as a stranger just because he was out of the habit of being with you. Not that he had forgotten you. I also think that he may have pushed your daughter out of jealousy. My son was upset when my daughter was born. Sometimes they feel like they are being replaced and that doesn't feel good.

    Please refer to a "closed" Facebook account, "Westlake Academy Charter School Corruption & Administrative Retaliation" which lists the City of Westlake/ Westlake Academy School District's legal representative's PRIVATE email discussion between (1) the Texas Education Agency legal counsel representative and (2) the parent's special education law firm during administrative due process hearing for Child Find violation. The parent's lawyer sent the school lawyer's private email discussion to the parent in ERROR. The school lawyer's private email and other numerous email correspondent letters data shows CLEAR evidence for SPECIAL EDUCATION CORRUPTION and substantiated proof for federal and state violation in acts of CONSPIRACY to defraud a Federal funded program and the government
