My older sister is Autistic she is 30 this year. I love her and will always take care of her.

The tears are falling. Thanks for portraying my thoughts and words into poetry and providing a visual. As a mom of a newly diagnosed son (almost 5) this made me smile and cry to know that someone gets it.

I can't even say i understand how parents of autistic children feel. I work with one, I've learned to be patient with her, repeat things over an over again calmly and most importantly treat her with love.

Oh my Gosh!!! For the first time in my life, I have just understood what parents with autistic children go through. God bless all parents going through this challenge. You are the real heroes!

Knowing our problems becomes a half-way to solving it. This is so moving. This is poetry appealing to the soul.

God!!! I felt this like a thundering hammer of emotions. This video is a masterpiece. I wish I could share this emotional rollercoaster with others. Thank you for the awareness.

This broke me, i wept so much. Only a mother knows and understands it the most. I hope this helps someone out there understand

For 35 years, this month I have lived with the life style Autism. Thought the video was well put together didn’t totally understand how it could comfort any family maybe hearing the diagnosis for the first time. A lot needs to be done in Nigeria as the country forges ahead, Not forgetting its citizens with Autism or any other developmental disabilities. Let’s remember as we strategise in put Nigeria together all citizens must be included

Anyone else felt moved to tears when the child went to pick the blue cape from the line?

[JuliaPedro]

This is very touching. I'm lost for the right adjective to use to describe how touching and deep this video is. Thank your for sharing this from the mother's angle.
