I have very high functioning autism. Most people cannot tell I have it but when I get upset or have meltdowns it's very very hard. I'm much better at it now (I'm 20) than I was when I was a Kid. My parents never put me through therapy and honestly I feel like if I would have had a therapist like you as a kid I'd be in a much better position today. Thank you for your contribution sir, you're a blessing to humanity.

I have no words to express how much I appreciate this approach.. all kids deserve to be treated with patience and respect.
-
It's hard, breaks my heart to see my son when he is upset and apparently I can't help him...😭 But I'll never ever give up, he is my mission, definitely. 💙

This honestly made me cry. My brother is autistic, he's now more high functioning but it use to be a nightmare. With all the therapy, nurses, and bullying it sometimes freaked him out, and it drove him done a path for a while of no motivation. Now he is A LOT more motivated with art! :)

THIS!! As an autistic person, i see so much disinformation surrounding my neurotype and how people are supposed to deal with us the "right way", but this is by far the best i've seen because it actually caters towards our needs! Bravo sir, you're an absolute champion 👏🏻 many thanks from myself and the autistic community

As a mom of three autistic kids, I was so moved by this. We start music therapy next week
-
I've been working in special Ed for years and this brought me to tears, you're amazing!
-
as a person on the spectrum i really do wish that i had somebody like this when i was younger, i never really had this kind of support system and i always had to calm myself from a young age which i think made things a lot worse than they could have been. this video itself calms me doen a lot
-
I have high functioning autism. I dont know why, but this made me feel really happy. I wasn't even having a melt down.
-
This is really beautiful to watch. I like the idea of meeting a kid where they're at and turning therapy into something fun that they can actually enjoy and get genuine immediate value out of.
-
i love the blowing bubbles strategy. it has worked amazingly with many children i work with who happen to have autism
-
I’m high functioning. In a few years, I want to adopt a child on the spectrum. It’s always fun to watch videos like this. Helps to prepare me. 🤗
-
What a gentle and caring man. I want peace and happiness for this child.
-
You demonstrated a great "less is more" strategy. Thanks!
-
I have to say I am very impressed. She ended up interacting far more than I initially though she would. She was even pausing her hand movements a bit to play pat-a-cake. You are clearly in the right line of work!
-
You are so good with her :) it's brilliant how you seem to instinctively know what she wants and how to soothe her
-
Oh my god. I’m a teacher assistant and I noticed one of the kids was showing signs of autism. So I looked up “how to help students with autism” and this video was great!
-
As someone who researches autism and then provides aid in the classroom to children with disabilities, it's always good to know alternative ways to communicate with children that don't necessarily apply to children without disabilities. Even though I don't use music, this video really gave me some great ideas to use with the kids. Thanks for posting this!
-
This is so respectful and beautiful. I really appreciate when people treat people with disabilities like a human and someone if value. Thank you so so much x

A child is the most amazing piece of life. So to see people help them in any way. Is a full out smile upon my face and heart. Thank you for that. I have so much hope, and will never give up
