The Truth About my Son

If I look younger here it's because this video is actually 2 years old and it's just taken us this long to feel comfortable releasing it since this is the internet. So please be kind and please consider sharing and donating :)

wheres ma bro pewds

I love your son!

I love u man

Proof that UZones auto generates dislikes

My cousin is 20 years old and has Autism. He doesn't speak a word.

Awsome video Mark! You and your family are so loved! Also whoever disliked the video rethink ur life🙄

Man mark why you mke me cry like damm. Hope the live streams go well

Man u are best😭

This is nicest video ever.

Another tip other people may or may not know: those who have autism found it offensive to be called "autistic" instead say, diagnosed with autism

I'll be there

I absolutely agree, people with special needs make the world a more beautiful place! Great video!

as a very smart and young man with down syndrome once said, “the only disability in life, is a bad attitude” believe that.

All I want to say is thank you

Already halfway to a mil in only a day

This is why we love mark

imagine putting your son on UZones for the 1st time ever... and then it gets #1 on trending. It’s not that protected now rip

What a beautiful video. I love it

He is to cute

Your son looks like an amazing guy! It's amazing to see the love you and your wife radiate when interacting with him. Stay laughing and ignore the haters!

whats autism

My younger brother also has autism, and while living with him is definitely challenging, I think he's the best person I've ever met.... thank you so much for raising awareness for such an important topic 💙 ❤

To the 3.1K people who disliked, they wont be successful.

He is so sweet 😍😊

Who ever disliked this is a monster.

I’m glad that you feel comfortable enough with us to share this personal information with us

We'll be there!

You are such a great person

Brooo wuts up with de thumbs down 👎 =/ I swear haters these days can't take a break😤😤😤😤

This is adorable! You seem like such a sweet parent with a really awesome child! Thank you for making this video to educate people, it is really interesting

Your explanation of autism was probably the best I've heard especially with the sound mixing. It gives me a new understanding of what my niece experiences. I'm surprised she functions at all - that much noise all the time would be debilitating.

This video made me happy! Thank you for making this video, it is interesting to learn about how autistic people think and what they think.

Thank you so much, from this father of a wonderful boy with autism

Thank you for this insightful and touching video

His giggles😍 are so contagious😂

i just now realised, superman is austistic

Congratulations You are #1 Trending in India🇮🇳

can't wait for the stream

I also have autism, adhd, fetal alchohol syndrome, and I am also unfortunately going blind due to retinas pigmentosa but I make sure to look after everyone and I do my best to make people happy no matter how much I'm scared or in pain I do my best to keep my friends and family safe and happy

Can someone tell me when this will be streaming in india I mean what time!

I dont know how to spel because i am dislexik but i hope you amd your family live a great life. Your the best you dont only help your son but also your community best teacher

it says i cant donate in my country

Hi, Sooooo... I don't know how to put this but in my opinion your son is very lucky to have a father like you. He is also a very BRAVE and handsome man who doesn't seem to care what others think about him. Dear son of Mark, Congratulations for having such a nice father and keep being yourself 😉. Alexander

im autistic to hi mark :)

Im sorry i dont have any money to donate

As an Occupational Therapist working with children in the community, it is still unfortunate that, in our current time, children with autism (or any disability) are viewed differently. I've met some amazing families and people with a disability, and they have not allowed it to define who they are. I love how Mark made that children with disabilities (whether cognitive or physical) to be the higher beings than typically developing children. Huge respect and lots of love for people living with a disability.

This made me cry, thanx for sharing with us. Must be difficult to trust the internet with info like this, so I really appreciate it

This video hit home, especially because I’m seeking an adult autism assessment myself. I was fortunate enough to have very supportive friends who didn’t mind me being different so didn’t realise I was until an adult. I can see a charity like this helping a lot of people that really need it.

*I CANNOT DONATE FROM AUSTRALIA.* UZones just says "Sorry, you can't donate in this country or region yet." Is there any other way for everyone to donate?

Yea

This is pure love. And this is why we love mark.

Beautiful.. made me cry 😑

hey autistic or not he still has the best father in the world and normal or not that says nothing all people have the same brain and if he are so inttilegient as u he will get very much friends in school. thanks for u opening up for this

So proud of you . You're inspiring!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever been to the magical bridge ? It's a special needs playground in Palo Alto California.

💙

I've got an autistic son too. I hope many people forward this video

I just wish I could donate sorry mark

Why I start laughing when I saw karl 😂😂😂

His mum? R y’all not together

Yo all these people claiming they have autism or there family does...I highly doubt every other. Commenter has autism, stop like hording jeesus

as someone personally with autism (though a kind where some of the regular things don't apply like the one at the playground partially), i can say that it is quite difficult to keep stuff in order in my brain, a new sound far away may be able to draw full attention because it's extremely sudden and pierces through all of the other sounds that (only really in my cases, have kind of/slowly adapted to the sounds) may not have been bothering me anymore. and to describe physical appearance, i look, sound and act like everyone else, no one in my whole kindergarten and school years so far have been able to see that, not teachers nor kids. and as mark had mentioned, some have these "abilities" where it'd seem humanly impossible to even guess that, and my form of that, if you'd want to call it that, is being able to at a impossible level for humans, to be able to react quickly, this mainly goes for catching and dodging sudden things, though catching can vary, i also have the ability to guess the exact or near exact place where something will fall (which is where the catching part comes from). when i first got my diagnosis, i felt personally i got treated slightly differently, and that really was a frustrating thing to deal with, you shouldn't change ways of talking with people just because they're autistic, if they worked well talking with you prior to you knowing, you should just keep going with that. though this is my perspective of it and it may not be the same for everyone else, i feel like it can give a rough estimate of how autistic people have it inside. there's a lot of different kinds of it, so mine isn't really what you should base anything of.

This is hart worming

I have autism, when I was in primary I struggled a lot cause I wasn’t diagnosed, only in secondary school have I been diagnosed my mum and sister have tried there best to learn how to deal with me, the thing I struggle with the most is people treating me like some alien because I am autistic and that’s what I hate the most. I am sensitive to sound and smell, I may get distracted, I may get obsessed with things, but don’t treat me like I’m not human or like I’m a 5 years old. I can love and hate like everyone.

Your son actually looks very handsome!

🥺🥺🥺 we need these ppl more in such a world

It took me like 10 seconds to look up the date thing. It's actually not as impossible as you may think. Just google "Day of the Week For Any Date (Revised)"

also KARL!!!

Your child mark, is special, he makes people smile and laugh. Alot of people who do youtube dont want to show their kids on youtube for safety reasons, and i get that i wouldnt want that either. Mark, if i would've had money to give i'd give all of it since i want to help others.

I have an autistic cousin so I liked this

I started crying in the middle of the video.😓😢

Ayyy, welcome to the ASD club, I’m also autistic, but I’m happy that you came out that your kid as it, every time someone does that, I’m happy, so thanks for bringing up all of our days

I'm autistic

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

0:35 the niece and nephews watching this: 😧😧

Probanly the best video about autism i've ever seen. I'm an aspie.

7:45 he got emotional

This is beautiful!

Thank you. Right when I needed it

I have Asperger syndrome which is a developmental disorder affecting ability to effectively socialise and communicate and this video just made my day

Bro u made me cry threw the whole video 😭😭😭 These people are misunderstood waay to often, I hope they'll see this video. So hyped for that live stream btw 🔥🔥🔥

He look so nice

#1 on trending idk why you were nervous I'm kidding I know why

To anyone thumbs downing this. You are the problem!

awwwww hes so happy i love him

Not to be too critical but I felt that the around the 6/7 mins when you/he talks about that people with special needs don't fit the traditional definition of success that the tone seemed to suggest they can't do these things. When really people with special needs can be successful in both traditional and the better world one. Just as a neurotypical person can be neither.

Best video ..... ive ever seen lol thanks Mark for everything you do.

So wholesome

You can't make a small simple video, that's what i love about this channel. It always had to be big. 🥳

This is really amazingly awesome to learn about

My twin also has autism, but he DOES NOT have that memorizing ability 😂 He is high functioning and we fought a lot.

It doesn't take long to love this family ❤ this makes my day, thanks Mark!

❤️

i have a family member who is autistic and this helped me understand him i am really crying thank you mark this is why i love the person who you are

I'm autistic I've been loving life for 15 years so keep going for it and live the best life you can

You are a great dad. 👍

Mark does the best balance of coming at things from both a personal and scientific angle.
