Hey same
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 worked so harder than most of normal ppl, great job
I can sympathize with you because you and I are the same. What you comment is what I wanted to say for a long time. Thank you I love you

This was a wonderful way of learning and understanding autism. Thank you to the Rober family! As the mother of a disabled son, it's taken me 31 years to realize that my son's superpower has been turning his mom into a better person by teaching her the true meaning of service, love, of compassion, empathy and more! Your son is your gift! But you already know that! ❤

As an autistic adult with debilitating hyperacusis, I appreciate this.

Wait really?
I knew a guy, we called him Bus-Alex. Because he knew every bus schedule in whole of stockholm. Even the parts slightly outside of Stockholm. It's crazy. He couldn't explain how he did it either.
The clip of the father and the son in the manual transmission car had me crying. Never in my life have I had a moment like that with my father. But it still makes me happy to see how wonderful life can be when you truly accept people for who they are.
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
My 8 year old is also diagnosed with autism. Thank you for making this and raising such sensitive, humanizing awareness.

Facts
All this while I knew a different Mark Rober, today I got to know about another part of you and it was really great knowing it. you have an amazing son I wish him all the best things in life.
I was questioned and judged everything when Mark said:"He is on autistic spectrum AND THİS İS İNTERNET" . This 4 word sentence was about to make me cry. We are just monsters. This is our problem. We should think 4,5 or 6 times saying a sentence. We should go back.
My autistic stepson is 22 and is 130 miles into his hike along the Appalachian Trail alone. This has been the thing that drives him every day. He’s trained for this every day and right now is out there living his best life. I’m so incredibly proud of him.
That’s incredible
Lots of love and power to him.

Don’t say your son can’t achieve success like phd or something like that, I fully believe in him that he can achieve anything, wish him the best.
Hey Mark, my dad unfortunately passed away on the 26th of Jan, and its absolutely broke my heart as we were very close. He died just a few days before my birthday (I'm currently 14) and this video awakened some of the great memories we had together. I hope you and your son will have the same great experiences as we did, and enjoy each others company as much as my dad and I did. I might not have any dad experience, but from the viewpoint of the son I do know that a healthy father son relationship is really important, and I hope the two of you have that aswel. I wish you nothing but the best of luck in this big journey we call life! :)

Don't explain it. It's not your problem. It's not your kids problem. If it's not hurting anyone, you don't need to explain anything. Honestly, in this day in age, if you feel like you have to explain then the people you're talking to don't deserve your attention.

You seem like an awesome person, thanks
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?
Y'all are some real amazing people Keep being epic

Mark, I want to say THANK YOU! I'm a 7th grade English teacher, and I also have a daughter with ASD. I have actually been trying for YEARS to convince people in our lives (family included) to get her AAC to help her with communication, and seeing your video has pushed people in our lives to agree - you rock! I can't imagine how scary it must be to have this video on the internet, but you have already changed the life of at least one little Mark Rober fan - Lou, my daughter - and I know your vulnerability will make a huge difference to so many others! Lou (short for Louise) is 7, LOVES your videos, and also loves to blow out birthday candles like your son! We spend HOURS on her birthday blowing out candles over and over. She's a cuddler, and her super power is knowing when people need extra snuggles and squeezes, and giving people snuggles to know they're loved! I wish there were a million ways I could say thank you for your vulnerability, because it is DEFINITELY making a difference already!
