Omg hearing an autistic young person saying they don't get bullied is so heartwarming. It just shows that everyone has done so much to help him feel supported and teach other young people about acceptance

Wow! Alistair has come a long way! I remember when you couldn't get him to sit even for a five minute interview. Great job Alistair! I know how hard it is.

gosh, as a school SLP i love seeing these kinds of interviews. alistair’s progress with his language since his kindergarten interview is absolutely incredible!

[sabrinastone]

Alistair has COME SO FAR since kindergarten, very impressive. Keep up the great work at school!

Alistair is so cute! He's a trooper for answering questions & talking about his Autism - thank you both for doing this! <3 (My autistic son just started the 1st grade, so it's nice to hear alternate perspectives!)

I was in elementary school during the 1950s. At that time. we knew nothing about autism . My favorite subjects were art and reading. My least favorite was math. Today i have several self-published books of my art and poetry. I can adequately balance my checkbook. Don't ever give up. Thank you for a great interview 🙏💖🌹

My heart melted watching this beautiful little man. I'm so happy he's not being bullied. I'd want to be one of the kids protecting him and keeping him safe from all hurt, but he must be surrounded by others like that. That smile lights up the universe.

These kids are so smart. They are unique in their own way. I have a 12yrs old autistic boy who can speak multiple different languages that I can’t speak. They very smart❤❤

Nice video Rob! Nice job Alistair! Nothing wrong with being different.

As Dr Suess says, “A person is a person no matter how small or challenging.”

I’m 62 with audhd and was never diagnosed. There was no diagnosing when I was a kid so my life growing up was very difficult. 😞 I’m probably a level 1 but that’s not to say that as a kid I did ok because I didn’t. I’m so glad to see that autistic kids today can get diagnosed and receive the help they deserve and need not just from school but from their loving parents such as yourself. ❤🙏 Alistair is clearly thriving.

Allister has come so far!!! You are goofy and so happy I wish there was other kids like him growing up I like and make friends with people who are happy like him.

It is good to hear that he’s doing well in school and that he is doing well in math.

Great video, keep up the good work. And have a great rest of your weekend.

At school, I always struggled with maths, right up until I was introduced to algebra, and formulas in chemistry and physics. Up to that point, I needed a lot of help with maths, something just clicked into place at that point. I struggled in general through school, and because of my quietness and struggling with groups, I did get bullied throughout school. It's nice to hear about an autistic young man not being picked on at school.

[DaringDarla]

Oh my gosh Alistair is so smart it's great to see him grow since he was little I have some autistic traits like stimming and I'm not good at social cues but I'm assuming it's mostly related to my ADHD?

Thank you so much it's such a nice testimony those who go by this journey.
