My daughter has autism. It is not a fun thing to have and experience. It is very stressful and hard to deal with. On the other hand, it teaches you that life is not perfect and you never know what to expect. I have to admit it is very depressing for the parents and can ruin relationships. I am glad I am an atheist and do not take this as punishment from an egotistic god.

Wow! What an amazing video! I don't have children with autism, but I do work with them at school. I have been trying to educate these parents, but it's an uphill battle. I'll keep educating! I have already passed this video on. Again thanks so much for this valuable video!

thank youfor that jb.
i have never felt so part of something. i feel alone a lot and i think sometimes people think i am crazy. but this video proves this didn't only happen to me, it's happening to other people's kids too.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like the heat is getting turned up, now let's see what happens next. Love and appreciation to all of you, fighting in this Autism Revolution.

That was excellent. I watched it after dinner with Ronan while we were sitting on the couch with the laptop. He watched the beginning of the movie quietly and then realized the laptop had a keyboard with letters. Ronan recognizes letters and requests for us to say them outloud as he points to them in books, on cereal boxes, on his shows, everywhere. Only last weekend Ronan was able to sign his first letter. He saw 'a' and did the sign with a great amount of pride in his eyes. He did the same tonight while I watched the movie. The sun shone threw some trees into our living room right before that moment too. It was a great night for this movie with my vax-injured hero.

Awesome. Thank you Mr Handley and the families that shared their experiences in hope to help others.

JB, you are terrific. You are helping so many people. I want you in my corner if I should ever need an advocate! Oh, and by the way, I loved when you called Paul Offit a pussy!

This is incredible.....as a parent of children without autism, I felt I needed to talk to parents of children WITH autism to really confirm what I thought, that vaccines ARE a part of this epidemic and that there really is help for these children. I did talk to quite a few parents, but it seems most people don't. This video is the next best thing to talking to yoy, You're all so well spoken and really get the point across!

Thank you, JB. I have forwarded this brilliant video to everyone I know on this planet. I love you!

Maurine, grandmother to Joshua, whom I WILL recover.

I am happy to report that "Autism Yesterday" is being subtitled in Somali at this very minute, and will soon be broadcast on our local Somali TV station here in Minneapolis. Parents United Against Autism funded the software to do the subtitling, and a generous volunteer has worked to translate this beautiful film. Thank you, JB, and all who helped make this possible!

WOW !!! What an amazing video - I still have goose bumps (and tears in my eyes). This should be mandatory watching for every new parent and every doctor.
I think one of the most important points made was these parents are NOT doing anything which harms their children - NONE of these interventions are harmful. So, why would any parent pass up an opportunity to help their child? Hard work ? HELL YES !! Worth it ? HELL YES !!

"Loving our children is the foundation of our work" - lovely...
Thank you for posting this - I will sit with my husband and watch today...we have renewed hope for different reasons this week and this will help us feel less guilty (perhaps) for that.

IF we didn't have hope there wouldn't be a cancer center in America. Even if recovery happened in only a small percentage of kids - why WOULDN'T you try everything you could for your child? It's not chasing rainbows, it's your parental responsibility. We live in a world where pregnant Moms make their fetuses listen to Mozart to "get a leg up" on skills. Parents send their kids to reading classes, SAT prep classes, vie for the best preschools - why should kids with autism be told "DON'T STRIVE FOR SUCCESS. THERE'S NO HOPE." That's a dreadful message.

JB has done more to help families than a hundred people who just want to tell parents, "There's nothing you can do but love your child." Loving our children is the foundation of our work - we just don't quit there. (Yes, I've had plenty of coffee already - you got a problem with that?) ;)

Thank you JB. You will never know how much having support and hope given to the rural communities means to parents. I pray one day all families can get access to services. It seems like we travel a very lonely road with very little understanding of our situation. I love the line that it is not a matter of good vs evil, it is a matter of lets save the children. Through the tears, Thank you! TD
