I love that Kane took into account that Collin might not like entirely new environments and instead kept the larger elements (the color of his room, the couch he prefers) the same and worked around those but still incorporated it into his new design. Really thoughtful! I so enjoyed this and can't wait to see more Kane Area Makeovers!
yes! when i heard him saying he didnt want to change the favourite spot a foudn a different solution to the couch. taking into account senesory issues in that part too, a different couch might not feel good. it melted my heart.
It's ok if you dont like the transformation, but what really matters is how the family feels. Seeing the happiness radiating from the mother, Collin, and the brother, was really refreshing.
Heehaw 101 Totally agree! Plus, they probably had a limited budget and needed 2 rooms to be transformed in a very short span of time so yeah, they did an amazing job and all the family, especially Collin, genuinely looked happy!
Yeah but you never know if was staged... what are they gonna say..”omg no... this got worst than the original... can’t believe y’all spent the money and time for this bs..”
The way Collin was jumping up and down in happiness made me happy cry. My best friends son, whom I considered my nephew, was also autistic and he wasn’t able to speak so anytime he was happy, he would jump and do a little jiggle with his body. It would be for the smallest things too like when he saw a humming bird while at the park. Unfortunately he passed away after cancer struck him. Collin just reminded me so much of him. He would have been 11 in October.
Oh my gosh I'm actually crying. God bless him. 💕 I have an autistic brother and he does the same when he gets happy and it really makes me happy seeing him do little jumps.
Aww man 😭😭 that’s what I get for scrolling through the comments. I’m sad not but also happy, I hope your friend is able to prosper and i hope the same for you as well.
I know everyone is complaining about the sofa, but I just appreciated that he made sure to keep the couch there for him.. getting custom covers for such a massive couch would probably be unreasonably expensive... I think Buzzfeed should have just paid for it, but I know that’s not always possible, anyway just wanted to say something good about it
Agreed ,,, it may also be to do with the fact that a large part of autistic people don’t do well with change and because he said it was his favourite part he wanted to keep it to give him comfort and familiarity
I think it was wise to keep the couch. If they choose to change it Melina can have Collin involved in choosing the couch which will make the transition of such an important item to Collin go smoother. ps even at the end when Collin was asked what his favourite thing was he said the couch. Great job Kane!!!
Flappy hands are happy hands!! (Just look at that happy stimming, I was worried it would be too much of a change since some autistic people need gradual change, but his stimming shows his real feelings for it)
Wow, this was really nice of Buzzfeed. I have an autistic brother who is on the extreme side of the spectrum, and I couldn’t stop thinking about him during this video ❤️ He would love something like this, thanks for sharing the love 💕
As someone in the interior design field, I really wish that people knew how much their environment impacted them on a daily basis. Just these simple changes made them so happy, and they didn't cost very much either. People think that in order to redo their house, they have to spend thousands of dollars and knock walls down, but that's not true at all! I'm so happy that Kane is able to show that
I‘m not a huge fan of the sofa cover but the rest is absolutely amazing! It looks very neat and put-together but it’s family friendly at the same time.
I am a high functioning Asperger girl and a lot of light browns and white makes me feel claustrophobic, when my sister moved out she made her old room darker colors for me, this video was really awesome to watch I would love to see you guys attempt a sensory garden!
I love that this transformation EMPOWERED Collin! It gives him the accessibility and comfort he needs, but also the adulthood that he should have in his own space. Truly incredible
This made me cry, Kane is very talented the way he made these people feel at home in this house. I love the way he took the bedroom and made it mature but accented it with stuff to reach out to Colin. Please do More of these videos Kane
I love that you were able to incorporate things that everyone in the house could enjoy and feel comfortable with. From the meditation nook to leaving the couch pretty much AS IS due to the fact that some people, even those who aren't on the spectrum, do not do well with change. This was a different type of decorating that most people will not understand because they don't know about mental illness. I, however, think you did an AMAZING job. Beautifully done. Beautiful family. Beautiful episode.
They really just needed to tuck and pin those things down if they had to go with slip covers. I understand not having the budget to buy new furniture or pay to have the fabric replaced but the looseness of the slip covers/sheets drives me crazy
I'm an autistic woman and an SLP who works with autistic teenagers. This video was really special. Kane, you have a gift. A LOT of people could learn from you.
I think he was being really careful to keep enough things the same, like the wall colour, bed, and couch. I was worried too, knowing many people on the spectrum and waiting on a diagnosis myself, so I'm so glad it turned out so well. I especially love the little added sensory things like the soft pillows, carpet, and colour changing lights.
I really appreciated how y'all talked about functioning labels and how y'all kept him in mind with the couch. This was great and everything looked wonderful.
This was so heartwarming! I'm not at all a designer, but in the living room, I noticed that when they put up the wallpaper pieces, they were slightly uneven at the top. Also, Collin is so sweet, the smile on his face when he saw the transformation was joyous.
Emma Baumgartner I really wouldn't say it is impressive for amateurs... In my family we have always been hanging up wallpaper ourselves and we aren't professionals. You just need to be patient and meticulous when doing it and it will turn out great. I guess they did it sloppy because they were in a rush, but it really isn't worth rushing such a thing.
My brother and youngest son are on the spectrum. This video really touched me. I love how Kane found out what elements were the most comforting to Collin and kept those like the couch, his room color. Big changes can be very overwhelming but by keeping those things the space still felt like "his". I was literally in tears during this video because it was so sweet.
I'm not sure any cover could make that couch look good, but they did make it look better. The mom can probably get some that are the right size later on, if she wants to. I'm just glad he kept the couch; I was worried about that.
J Wildberry biggest problem is the size if she gets that fixed couch could look way better but i didnt like the seems on the cover as well. There are way better covers they could have done better thats what i am saying
This is the sweetest thing for you to do to autistic person. My brother is autistic, so this is very touching. Good job. Not many people can empathize with people some people do not understand.
I have high-functioning Aspergers and am in the middle of the ASC spectrum! I’m 14 now and was diagnosed 3 years ago (aged 11). My mum knew I had it around 5 years before I was diagnosed. However, my primary school didn’t believe I had Aspergers. I was bullied, told I was weird and that that’s why I didn’t have many friends!! My mum was told by my teachers that I shouldn’t have 'brought it on' and if I ‘behaved’ more like the other students, the bullying would go away!! I was placed in low-ability groups and was told I wouldn’t achieve anything higher than a 4c in my year 6 SATS (I got 5a’s - the highest grade you can get doing the exams I did) Now I'm starting my GCSE's and am expected to get grades 7, 8 and 9 (A's and A*'s) in all my exams!! I am sure proving them wrong!!
BuzzFeed I. LOVE. THIS. More please!! Kane is so thoughtful in balancing “remaking the space” with “not overstimulating Collin or destroying his sanctuary spaces”. Kane is AWESOME! MORE KANE!
Collin really does give his mom a powerful message, Just to focus on what's happening now, and not tommorow or next week, that's one of the things I'm taking from this video, Thank you, Collin x
seeing how happy collin was made just by having his bedroom made over made me smile so much! then his mom and brother being excited about everything, and seeing how they appreciated everything just lifts my spirits. people really underestimate how a nice living space makes everyone feel, mentally and can help physically!
Everyone is talking about the sofa cover but has anyone bothered to notice the wallpaper that doesn’t cover the wall properly? You can see the tan up top 😫
i am an apprentice in a design firm and i experience a lot of that. it is usually the wall or ceiling in this video's mistake. The ceiling is not that aligned or it probably dented for it is a plyboard or acoustic ceiling. or maybe the wall is not finished properly, there are a lot of aspects that can really affect the renovation and to think they did it at a very short amount of time.
or, i don’t know... the wall sticker of wood they used as an “illusion headboard” that’s so cheap and just awkward... just buy a headboard or just cover it with pillows
Well done Kane I love what you did, my daughter is also Autistic and hates anyone touching her stuff. So she decorated her own bedroom and she chose teal
love the concept and the design elements but a full house redecoration shld really be spread over more days. Maybe do the living space and bedroom separately or have more people working under Kane's direction. Buzzfeed you could have easily turned this into a 2 part video and had a bigger crew such that the wallpaper wasn't misaligned and production issues etc. Love the desk, meditation corner, and bedroom, not so sure about the tv/couch area which was the main concern. Really want this series to do well thou and its great that you were able to help this family! It looked like they really loved it ;)
Wish I could like this 20000 times! As a mother of two boys on the spectrum I love how you thought about how changing certain things might affect him and the way he processes his new environment!
I don't know why this made me cry. Kane you did such an amazing job with the rooms and you brought so much happiness to the family! I was so excited when you chose to leave the couch and took this family's needs into consideration!!!
I feel a little bit sad for his brother. I mean, he most probably understands what his brother's problem is and what he needs, but he must feel left out. It might not be nice at times. But, anyways, he seems to be so kind and nice so it's wonderful for him and his family ❤ keep the goodness up hun and know that there is also much support for you ❤
Francesca Cappai, I’m 13 and my younger sister is autistic and she does get a lot of attention and it does not feel nice at times but that’s just life and I wouldn’t give up my sister for the world💕
Hana Dibaba.. it's not always fun to be around someone else that gets more attention but it's good that you understand why it happens. im touched by the fact that you love her so much in spite of you feeling left out at times. things will get better for you someday. just know that you are a great person for understanding the situation with your sister and the world is a better place because of you!
It's hard having an autistic sibling. My brother is autistic and I gotta say growing up all the attention was on him. It sucks but it's ok. You learn to understand.
17:14 the mom says that Brendan (the younger brother) is graduating, so theres a likelihood that he may be moving out of his room, hence not having to redecorate it. also his room mightve been improved over the years so theres not much thats needed to be changed. Colin, given his condition isnt really big on change, so Kane updating his room was a risky move, but it paid off big time because Colin ended up liking the kind of changes Kane made.
I volunteer with special needs kids and i love how considerate and thoughtful you were about this space. Even recovering the couch instead of buying a new one was a great decision so the space still felt familiar.
What's the big deal with the title change? Y'all make it seem like being autistic is the worst thing to be in this world. "Autistic boy/girl" isn't an insult! My fellow aspies/autists...wear that badge proudly ❤❤❤
Actually I'm autistic and I'm going to be fully independent, as are many of us; but also just because you can't be independent doesn't mean you have to live with your parents forever. There are a wide range of different places with different levels of support for adults with additional needs around. You could even live alone but with a carer. Besides, just because someone can't be fully independent doesn't mean they can't be happy.
May Groves ...and the fact that you can't be 100% independent isn't shameful either. Everyone has the right to live a life that is as happy and fulfilling as it can be for the individual.
I can be 100% independant though. When I go to university next year I will be going alone and living in the dorms or an apartment like all the other students. Not every autistic person needs support in that sense
So many people underestimate their home space and how it impacts emotions and mental wellbeing! This made my heart full
Harshil Patel yes I totally agree also a lot of people I know are autistic so thank you
Harshil Patel you are so right because my brother has something like that
Harshil Patel you again!
Harshil Patel YOU GET TOP COMMENT ON EVERY FUKIN VID I WATCH
U R AWSOME
I love that Kane took into account that Collin might not like entirely new environments and instead kept the larger elements (the color of his room, the couch he prefers) the same and worked around those but still incorporated it into his new design.

Yeah but you never know if was staged... what are they gonna say..”omg no... this got worst than the original... can’t believe y’all spent the money and time for this bs..”
Heehaw 101 😏😏 ayeeeee army

Collin just reminded me so much of him. He would have been 11 in October.
The way he leaned over and smelled her hair melted my heart! He was sooo happy with his room. Love it!
Oh my gosh I'm actually crying. God bless him. 💕 I have an autistic brother and he does the same when he gets happy and it really makes me happy seeing him do little jumps.
im so sorry
Alex Jiang Thank you, we’re all still healing but we’re getting better.
Aww man 😭😭 that’s what I get for scrolling through the comments. I’m sad not but also happy, I hope your friend is able to prosper and i hope the same for you as well.
My son is autistic, so this video reached me on a different level and inspired me to redecorate his space at home! Thanks for the awesome ideas!
u dont need to say that outloud!
Some Guy That Likes To Eat Ramen no its you that doesn't need to.
Some Guy That Likes To Eat Ramen Don’t need to sat what?
Some Guy That Likes To Eat Ramen whats wrong with you its brilliant that shes doing that
And your a father that’s UA-cam name is FAST Food Pit Stops

I think Buzzfeed should have just paid for it, but I know that’s not always possible, anyway just wanted to say something good about it
It might also be to do with the texture of the sofa. Some autistic people can have issues with certain fabrics
Mathilda Murray so true. But he could have used throws... Theyre just awful covers
Mathilda Murray 89
Agreed ,,, it may also be to do with the fact that a large part of autistic people don’t do well with change and because he said it was his favourite part he wanted to keep it to give him comfort and familiarity
venusstardustkyojin
That's an opinion, not a fact.
just make this an official series already
Agreed!
I think it was wise to keep the couch. If they choose to change it Melina can have Collin involved in choosing the couch which will make the transition of such an important item to Collin go smoother. ps even at the end when Collin was asked what his favourite thing was he said the couch. Great job Kane!!!
What an amazing family. So strong. Kane did a great job with this space.
💛
I would like this, but it has 666 likes
My heart when Collin starts jumping with excitement 😭❤
Flappy hands are happy hands!!
(Just look at that happy stimming, I was worried it would be too much of a change since some autistic people need gradual change, but his stimming shows his real feelings for it)
I was a little worried too that it would be too much change but I got so happy when I saw how happy Collin was with everything.
Charlie C: Thank you, I learned a new word today; "stimming."
YAZ HAPPY FLAPS
Yes as soon as I saw the stimms, I was like yup they did good!
Charlie C I kept on noticing that as well and it made me feel quite happy actually, a happy stim is always a good stim
Honestly kane should have his own show.
He is sooo talented, sweet and spectacular.
We just need to come up with a name
Izayah Manu Kane ReKreates
Xorvinous That is a perfect name, nailed it.
Decorating with Kane is such a good series idea omg I loveeee!!! ❤️❤️ Keep these videos coming!
Vanessa Mekayla I agree. They're fantastic!
Kane's down to earth vibe is very refreshing in the home makeover videos space :)
🙌🏽
Agreed!
Vanessa Mekayla hey
Awwww he's so excited.
He's sooooo cute
BUZZFEED JUST HAS TO GIVE KANE HIS OWN DECORATING SHOW!!
I can see it now: BuzzFeed: Decorating With Kane
I actually really like that idea of a sticker wood headboard. Pretty clever. I might do that in my own room. Cant wait for more, Kane. 🤩🤗
はゴミですAleks Right, the SHOOKETH me!!! I was like YAASSSS, HE DID THAT!!!
Not 100% sold on the sheet over the couch. but otherwise it all looks a lot better than before
Tucker Lazzaratto same
A little tucking and sewing would have done alot
Tucker Lazzaratto sameeeeee
Yeah.. it's not a good look. Same with the sticker headboard :/
Exactly what I was thinking... But the rest is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! :) =-O
I'm autistic. So an extra-big thanks so much for doing this!
My 14 year old brother is! I just subbed btw
My cousin is autistic
I have Aspergers so same
We can tell by your pic
Jon Castillian that’s so disrespectful.
Seeing Collins jumping made me really smile, also I think you should go back and do Collins brothers room. I think it would be awesome!
Wow, this was really nice of Buzzfeed. I have an autistic brother who is on the extreme side of the spectrum, and I couldn’t stop thinking about him during this video ❤️ He would love something like this, thanks for sharing the love 💕
A mother's love is never ending More power to you mom! 👏 And KANE amazing job as always
Project Create My mom loves me but she doesn’t treat me like she does.😖
As someone in the interior design field, I really wish that people knew how much their environment impacted them on a daily basis. Just these simple changes made them so happy, and they didn't cost very much either. People think that in order to redo their house, they have to spend thousands of dollars and knock walls down, but that's not true at all! I'm so happy that Kane is able to show that
It's awesome, but my OCD can't with the wallpaper on the back wall being off!!!
I‘m not a huge fan of the sofa cover but the rest is absolutely amazing! It looks very neat and put-together but it’s family friendly at the same time.
Marie S completely agree with everything said in this comment
Yep same.
Holy that mom. Such a great mom. Listening her talk about her sons and their condition sent chills down my spine.
It's so nice to see this instead of money being wasted fruitlessly on the internet for entertainment purposes. Do good, be good. I loved this family.
Amazing very well done. The guys happiness is the most genuine happiness iv seen in vids like this. Very emotional.
what a lovely mom!!
I am 25 and was just diagnosed with high functioning autism 2 years ago. The fact that they took the time to do this warms my heart
When Collin gave Melina a kiss on the cheek I died it was so cute I love how close they are as a family ❤
KANE IS SUCH AN ANGEL I LOVE HIM and this video is so nice and calming (in some sort of way)
As someone with autism, this really warms my heart. Such a positive view on autism, which is usually potrayed in a negative way. What a kind mother.
I am a high functioning Asperger girl and a lot of light browns and white makes me feel claustrophobic, when my sister moved out she made her old room darker colors for me, this video was really awesome to watch I would love to see you guys attempt a sensory garden!
Oh my word, I love this Mom. She seems like such an amazing woman! Such a deserving family! Great job, Kane!
I love that this transformation EMPOWERED Collin! It gives him the accessibility and comfort he needs, but also the adulthood that he should have in his own space. Truly incredible
This made me cry, Kane is very talented the way he made these people feel at home in this house. I love the way he took the bedroom and made it mature but accented it with stuff to reach out to Colin. Please do
More of these videos Kane
I love that you were able to incorporate things that everyone in the house could enjoy and feel comfortable with. From the meditation nook to leaving the couch pretty much AS IS due to the fact that some people, even those who aren't on the spectrum, do not do well with change. This was a different type of decorating that most people will not understand because they don't know about mental illness. I, however, think you did an AMAZING job. Beautifully done. Beautiful family. Beautiful episode.
I like everything but the couch covers, they look really messy but still good job!
lightlurker yeah too bad they couldn’t get it professionally reupholstered but maybe that changes the feel too much too not sure.
Does anyone else hate the couch cover
Laura Murphy it looks cheep and if they were too lazy to get a good fitting cover
They really just needed to tuck and pin those things down if they had to go with slip covers. I understand not having the budget to buy new furniture or pay to have the fabric replaced but the looseness of the slip covers/sheets drives me crazy
Laura Murphy at least if they don’t like it’s easily removable and not permanent
Laura Murphy yeah
It looks like someone was to cheap to actually take five minutes out of their live to get an actual fitting couch cover
I'm an autistic woman and an SLP who works with autistic teenagers. This video was really special. Kane, you have a gift. A LOT of people could learn from you.
These transformations are amazing. It was great seeing the joy on all of their faces. Kudos to you Kane!
People don’t realize how much space can affect you and your mood, having it cater uniquely to you can really create a positive vibe. Lovely video♥️
i was worried about change (as an autistic person i have problems with sudden change) but i'm glad he liked it! beautiful place
I think he was being really careful to keep enough things the same, like the wall colour, bed, and couch. I was worried too, knowing many people on the spectrum and waiting on a diagnosis myself, so I'm so glad it turned out so well. I especially love the little added sensory things like the soft pillows, carpet, and colour changing lights.

She’s such a great mom 😭 she’s genuinely loving and positive and encouraging and patient and understanding, she’s a rare find
Was I the only one to notice how the wallpaper behind the couch isn't lining up with the ceiling??
bag of chips i want chips now
*Don't we all*
That hurts my soul.
That and the couch covers were driving me crazy but they’re not professionals so I guess it is pretty impressive for amateurs.
Emma Baumgartner I really wouldn't say it is impressive for amateurs... In my family we have always been hanging up wallpaper ourselves and we aren't professionals. You just need to be patient and meticulous when doing it and it will turn out great. I guess they did it sloppy because they were in a rush, but it really isn't worth rushing such a thing.
Collin happily jumping at 5:07 literally brought a smile to my face ☺️😊😁
Kane for every corner of the room: I’ll put a lamp here, and a fake plant next to it 😅
if it works, it works
Aww Collins deserves a nice happy wife and family, he is just so kind
My brother and youngest son are on the spectrum. This video really touched me. I love how Kane found out what elements were the most comforting to Collin and kept those like the couch, his room color. Big changes can be very overwhelming but by keeping those things the space still felt like "his". I was literally in tears during this video because it was so sweet.
“I feel, glad” yes you do Collin, yes you do.
Hidious couch covers but other than that looks real nice
Buket Şahin agree
I'm not sure any cover could make that couch look good, but they did make it look better. The mom can probably get some that are the right size later on, if she wants to. I'm just glad he kept the couch; I was worried about that.
J Wildberry biggest problem is the size if she gets that fixed couch could look way better but i didnt like the seems on the cover as well. There are way better covers they could have done better thats what i am saying
😂
My thoughts exactly haha
You can see it in his eyes how excited he is well done
This is the sweetest thing for you to do to autistic person. My brother is autistic, so this is very touching. Good job. Not many people can empathize with people some people do not understand.
Wow this should be a tv show I love when he transforms a home or space it always looks so nice 😁❤️
Kane loves plants, alot. lol
I was watching this, and in the middle, I realized that I was smiling the whole time. This was beautiful!!
I have high-functioning Aspergers and am in the middle of the ASC spectrum! I’m 14 now and was diagnosed 3 years ago (aged 11). My mum knew I had it around 5 years before I was diagnosed.

Now I'm starting my GCSE's and am expected to get grades 7, 8 and 9 (A's and A*'s) in all my exams!! I am sure proving them wrong!!
I'm sure you're proving them wrong! Good luck on your exams! ❤
BuzzFeed I. LOVE. THIS. More please!! Kane is so thoughtful in balancing “remaking the space” with “not overstimulating Collin or destroying his sanctuary spaces”. Kane is AWESOME! MORE KANE!
oh my goodness, Collin jumping around when looking at the space melted my heart. what a sweetheart !!
So cool of y’all to do this
this should be a buzzfeed series called design it
We need a freaking series of this. 😍😍😍
Collin really does give his mom a powerful message, Just to focus on what's happening now, and not tommorow or next week, that's one of the things I'm taking from this video, Thank you, Collin x
Just seeing anyone happy makes me happy.
Kane should have a show
Great job Kane!! You really have a gift!!
That lady seems so sweet and her son seems so cute and nice
seeing how happy collin was made just by having his bedroom made over made me smile so much! then his mom and brother being excited about everything, and seeing how they appreciated everything just lifts my spirits. people really underestimate how a nice living space makes everyone feel, mentally and can help physically!
he was so happy i wanted to cry aww, its nice to know theres such good in the world
People on the spectrum often fear change. Great job! . I love seeing how happy Collin is
Everyone is talking about the sofa cover but has anyone bothered to notice the wallpaper that doesn’t cover the wall properly? You can see the tan up top 😫
YESSS
The wallpaper would bug the heck out of me.
I’d move if that happened to me so I wouldn’t hurt Kane’s feelings
“I love this amazing house but we have to move for my work”
i am an apprentice in a design firm and i experience a lot of that. it is usually the wall or ceiling in this video's mistake. The ceiling is not that aligned or it probably dented for it is a plyboard or acoustic ceiling. or maybe the wall is not finished properly, there are a lot of aspects that can really affect the renovation and to think they did it at a very short amount of time.
or, i don’t know... the wall sticker of wood they used as an “illusion headboard” that’s so cheap and just awkward... just buy a headboard or just cover it with pillows
WAIT WOAH I WANT HIS ROOM SO BAD IT'S SO PRETTY
Collin is so amazing! I started crying because of how happy he was he just warms my heart
Kane this is like your calling!!! You're STELLAR at this!!! Freddies room also came out UNBELIEVABLE!!! Great job both places!!!
I love how happy he got
Same 💜
Collin is honestly so adorable
I don't like the couch sheets at all. looks way too messy imo. good job on the rest though!
Hater! Reported!
This mom is so nice. I love her. A true queen.
collin seems so genuinely happy at the transformations. seeing his hand flapping and jumping just makes my heart melt
This is why you'll never ever allowed to hurt your mom's feeling.
I’m so happy how happy Collin is about the transformation ! 😁
Please turn this to an actual series!! :O
Collin's mom is the best. Seeing collin's happy, its just priceless.
Kane did amazing. This family seems very loving. I'm happy too see how much Collin seemed to love everything.
Well done Kane I love what you did, my daughter is also Autistic and hates anyone touching her stuff. So she decorated her own bedroom and she chose teal
IM LOVING THESE SERIES
love the concept and the design elements but a full house redecoration shld really be spread over more days. Maybe do the living space and bedroom separately or have more people working under Kane's direction. Buzzfeed you could have easily turned this into a 2 part video and had a bigger crew such that the wallpaper wasn't misaligned and production issues etc. Love the desk, meditation corner, and bedroom, not so sure about the tv/couch area which was the main concern. Really want this series to do well thou and its great that you were able to help this family! It looked like they really loved it ;)
It also bothered me how the nightstands weren’t matching
The goal of buzzfeed is to pump out videos and get views which equals money. Quality is not a factor.
I couldn’t stop smiling while they where seeing the rooms. Their happiness made me so happy!!!!!
Wish I could like this 20000 times! As a mother of two boys on the spectrum I love how you thought about how changing certain things might affect him and the way he processes his new environment!
I don't know why this made me cry. Kane you did such an amazing job with the rooms and you brought so much happiness to the family! I was so excited when you chose to leave the couch and took this family's needs into consideration!!!
I feel a little bit sad for his brother. I mean, he most probably understands what his brother's problem is and what he needs, but he must feel left out. It might not be nice at times. But, anyways, he seems to be so kind and nice so it's wonderful for him and his family ❤ keep the goodness up hun and know that there is also much support for you ❤
Francesca Cappai he's old enough to understand, I'm sure he got a treat. Maybe his room has been redone in the past to suit him.
Francesca Cappai, I’m 13 and my younger sister is autistic and she does get a lot of attention and it does not feel nice at times but that’s just life and I wouldn’t give up my sister for the world💕
Hana Dibaba.. it's not always fun to be around someone else that gets more attention but it's good that you understand why it happens. im touched by the fact that you love her so much in spite of you feeling left out at times. things will get better for you someday. just know that you are a great person for understanding the situation with your sister and the world is a better place because of you!
It's hard having an autistic sibling. My brother is autistic and I gotta say growing up all the attention was on him. It sucks but it's ok. You learn to understand.
17:14 the mom says that Brendan (the younger brother) is graduating, so theres a likelihood that he may be moving out of his room, hence not having to redecorate it. also his room mightve been improved over the years so theres not much thats needed to be changed. Colin, given his condition isnt really big on change, so Kane updating his room was a risky move, but it paid off big time because Colin ended up liking the kind of changes Kane made.
omg kane is such a gem
Amazing! You completely changed the spaces and yet kept them to where Collin was comfortable. Everything was so cozy I love it.
I volunteer with special needs kids and i love how considerate and thoughtful you were about this space. Even recovering the couch instead of buying a new one was a great decision so the space still felt familiar.
Collin is such a sweetheart you could tell how excited he was throughout the video. 💛
He should become an interior designer with his own show on buzzfeed
What's the big deal with the title change? Y'all make it seem like being autistic is the worst thing to be in this world. "Autistic boy/girl" isn't an insult! My fellow aspies/autists...wear that badge proudly ❤❤❤
This!!!!!!!! Neurodiversity!!!!
Actually I'm autistic and I'm going to be fully independent, as are many of us; but also just because you can't be independent doesn't mean you have to live with your parents forever. There are a wide range of different places with different levels of support for adults with additional needs around. You could even live alone but with a carer. Besides, just because someone can't be fully independent doesn't mean they can't be happy.
May Groves ...and the fact that you can't be 100% independent isn't shameful either. Everyone has the right to live a life that is as happy and fulfilling as it can be for the individual.
I can be 100% independant though. When I go to university next year I will be going alone and living in the dorms or an apartment like all the other students. Not every autistic person needs support in that sense
Wait nvm I think I misinterpreted your reply- yes, of course, if you need that kind of support there's no shame in it
Awww Collin is so sweet. It warms my heart to see people do nice things like this. Nice job Kane 👍❤️
I grew up with an autistic brother, so it relly warms my heart to see how happy he got with his room. Great job Kane
