You moved me to sobbing tears as I realised the silent struggle we have been facing for the past 10 years with our beautiful youngest son...

Take a trip down to Silicon Valley. If you can prove that Bill gates is neurotypical, I'll donate $1000,000 to Autism Speaks. In fact, you can probably thank someone with autism for giving you this platform to spread your ridiculous tripe. I can guarantee that part of something you used to make this video came from someone autistic. <br />You don't love your daughter. Stop pretending. You love the person you hope you can change your daughter into. You're a disgusting "human being" who is proud to receive an award from an organization that openly promotes genocide. <br /><br />To people who want to hear about autism from real autistics, these are great sites:<br />https://ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/<br />http://main.autistics.org/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002873379688473739.post-26284517342625090782011-11-12T16:42:04.438-06:002011-11-12T16:42:04.438-06:00Congratulations on your award it is a very powerfu...Congratulations on your award it is a very powerful video.

I especially relate to the part in the video where you are obviously emotional about receiving the diagnosis of Autism. That day (the day of diagnosis for my almost 4 year old today) was one of the saddest days of my life. Thanks for sharing and letting all of us parents of Autistic children know that, yes, there are others out there fighting the good fight, and that we're not alone in this (monumental) struggle, which we are required to fight each and every day (even when we don't feel like fighting, or when it seems we're too tired to go on...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002873379688473739.post-36817664676796374762011-11-09T14:03:49.011-06:002011-11-09T14:03:49.011-06:00Just saw your video... and I was incredibly moved....Just saw your video... and I was incredibly moved.<br /><br />I have a little guy with autism.
