    She is non verbal but for a 5 year old that rarely speaks her voice portrays a very intelligent and expressive child that speaks on her own terms. Thanks for sharing your world little one ❤

    Damn I’m a grown man and tears were streaming down my cheeks. God bless that little angel and her beautiful mom
  • @YooperICE
    Pure innocence and love are a powerful thing.
  • This is a wonderful memory. But more than that, the best thing I've seen on the news for ages. Thanks to that beautiful child for making this day full of love.

    How wonderful. Her mother will treasure that video the rest of her life and remember the moment she first saw it.

    Autism mama here and I am absolutely bawling my eyes out! What a gift! Always a reminder that your AUsome little may not say much but they understand and feel everything ❤
  • @ambercruse278

    This momma’s love is her daughter be. Just be who she is meant to be.
  • The precious expressive words of love sparked from her pure immaculate heart and mind shows the sacred connection between daughter and mom.

    I cannot stop crying 😭😭😭. For the first time, ever, I now know what our precious Autistic non-verbal daughter was saying to us, in her heart, all these years...through all her abundant hugs, smiles and laughter. Sadly, we lost our precious bundle of love in 2023 from CKD 😭😭😭, but her expressions of love will live forever in our hearts, thanks to this beautiful heart-warming video. Did you notice she ex​u​ber​ant​ly saved (the best) of her treasures for the last? How precious! Thankyou! 💝

    I am not the super sentimental type... but this truly made my eyes water up. This is just absolutely beautiful!.
  • @deborahhall3488
    Such a beautiful story. We as parents and grandparents take for granted the little things that some only hope for. Blessings to you and your wonderful daughter. 💜🙏
  • @SuperNCCC
    My autistic brother is just like this. He doesn't speak much but put him behind a camera, and the words come pouring out. I love this video so much.
  • @taylorblue8141
    Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing this adorable video. A perfect way to remind all of us how special mothers and daughters are in our lives. ❤❤

    She knows how to speak very well. She is voluntarily mute. Her speech is clearer than most 5 year olds. She needs her own phone.
