Here’s the story — well, the first five years — in the life of Quinn: a wonderful, exuberant, mostly non-verbal boy with autism. You can see how the signs appeared over time, even before his diagnosis was made at 21 months. *** Teachers/schools/community service groups: You may use this video as part of autism awareness or positive educational training. No additional permission is required. (I can provide a higher-resolution version if needed.) * TO THE HATERS: Quinn did not watch TV for hours each day. He learned the credits mostly from the DVD boxes that he carried with him everywhere. (And if you want to leave a rude/arrogant/stupid/mean comment… well, I’d suggest you worry less about my parenting skills and more about those of your own mom and dad.) NOTE: Unfortunately, I no longer have the faceautism.org domain name mentioned in the video — so I have no idea what might end up on there. Sorry.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
We are all slightly autistic. Just imagine a long, long bar chart with everyone on it. Some of us have more autism than others.
An accurate diagnosis of autism is based on lengthy observation of communication, behavior, and developmental levels. Bcause many behaviors associated with autism are shared by other disorders, medical tests are can rule out or identify other causes. professionals have misdiagnosed autism.”…, a 5 year old Canadian boy diagnosed with severe autism was cured…later the true cause of his autism was discovered to be celiac disease.
Very cute
He is beautiful. This video really touched my heart.
Good luck, it takes A LOT to make that decision. I wish you and your family all the best.
I have autism and I’m also high functional. My little half brothers autistic too and I love him.
I got autism. Hopefully your son is still alive. From the sounds of things to me it sounds like he died or something. Us autistics are truly special people
He’s a special boy and I bet he’ll do great things. Einstein had autism too but on a milder spectrum. For all you know, he’ll go into the movie business one day ^^
My elder brother is autistic too and I love him to bits. He used to remember all the places in a map or flags of every country. Nowadays, my big sis (eldest), him and I, we enjoy talking about TvTropes which he introduced to us.
I’m surprised there r haters tho X(
People with autism aren’t sick or ill… They are just.. different.
What a wonderful and charming boy. He is not handycapped – he is just different.
When I saw your film I had a warm glow for him in my heart.
People with autism can teach us to look with “their eyes”. We cannot slip in their world but we should be very proud if they allow us to share it with them for a short period of time.
What a sweet beautiful boy! Is he still non-verbal? Our son is 6 and non-verbal but we have hope!! xx
I’m from the Philippines and my son have austism. He is 8, and we still have a long journey ahead of us.
@seb6leal please do research before putting a comment like that.
God Bless you
u have a beautiful son
you’re a dumbass.
yes there are alot of things that shouldn’t be qualified as a disease, but this is serious.
Thank you for sharing your little Quinn with us. He is adorable.
It would be called disability discrimination or disability harassment; as far as I know there’s not actually a one-word term for the act of discriminating against those who have disabilities. Good question, though.
Good questions– there are no actual physical indicators of having autism. It’s sort of complicated, really, but if you google autism you’ll find more information.
I’m pretty sure that all these pictures are barely the tip of the iceburg. There is a lot that you and I don’t know about this child, so I suggest holding off on your shoot-down of the diagnosis.
Those with autism do appear to be perfectly normal. There aren’t really any physical symptoms of autism, so you can’t tell somebody has it by looking at them.
Beautiful Video, I t reminds me so much of my seven year old who has autism. Thanks for sharing.
How can staking or lining things up indicate autism ? As adults, me and my friends love staking up playcards to form the tallest structure possible..is this autism too ? This requires heavy concentration !!
Beautiful. I can tell how much you love him. My friend has a son with autism and they went through a lot. Eventually, they found the Son-Rise Program, which totally transformed them, so I’m a big advocate now. Your video brings to mind the philosophy they are based on: unconditional love, acceptance, not judging the childs autistic behaviors as something negative. They have some videos they just sent me comparing this philosophy to the standard ABA treatment- search under: “parental choice aba”
