@user-WashableFlea658 Месяц назад

I am in my teens and have autism and I can say everything you said in this video about the autistm spectrum is true. Over time some people can make their own filter, for example: I can still hear everything else, but the person I'm talking to is the main source of my concentration if I focus and at this point at restaurants I just have to listen to 7 different conversations and had to get used to it over time..... Probably why I always cried near the end of every dinner for YEARS.

You guys are great. I cannot help but express my deep joy that you exist in this world. I understand that your path is not always easy. I am a single father myself. When my son and I were alone, I was 20, and it was extremely difficult. There were days when I had to give up food just to feed my son. Every time I looked at his smile, I felt that I was ready to endure any difficulties for his sake, to become stronger and better. Today I work as a programmer, and everything was going very well for us. I wish your son and all the children of this world will and happiness. After your video, I realized that I wanted to share these feelings of gratitude and admiration. Thank you for your work and inspiration

@jboogie6197 Месяц назад

This was really inspiring and definitely was a tear jerker. I relate to this with my son as well. He wanted to make RU-vid videos, so I’ve tried to help him, but the internet is a scary thing.

This is the explanation I use for adults: When you're a child, your brain has one job; to be a sponge. It is specifically wired so that you take in as much information as possible and store it somewhere. This is achieved by specialized neurons, which will decay over time, leaving the brain more "rigid". Autism is a condition where this decay stops or slows prematurely, leaving the brain in a sponge-like state. As a result, people with autism suck up information around them in the same way a sponge sucks up water; it's an involuntary reflex that can't be helped. Most of the behaviours you've maybe seen from autists stem from an attempt to manage this influx of information.

do you ever question why autism is rising and get angry at the fact humans are causing it for one reason or another?

Someone needs to give this man a medal. He’s broken so many world records, worked for nasa, has his own RU-vid channel, juggling all his personal life and on top of all of that if anyone can be the best dad in the world to a special needs kid, it’s him.

Wouldn't it be nicer to let the kid die since letting a kid live a terrible life would be hard thats why doctors kill ill patients that aren't getting better Its not possible to give answer to unlimited amounts of question so before commenting how about you answer this. Would you rather live with a disease or die to end it all? If you pick to live then hospitals should ban the process to end someone misery.

As someone with autism, i just want to thank you. Autism can be a real bump in the road. I have been diagnosed a few years ago and it’s still hard to accept it sometimes. My life can be a real mess sometimes but i also look at the positive side of things. It’s a nice gesture of you to bring awareness and even raising money for autism. You Mark, just made mine and everyone's day. Thank you so much.
