Good parents always shift their dreams for what their children’s lives will be as they grow - because they are our dreams projected on them, not necessarily their own. We must accept our children are individuals with their own hopes, dreams, strengths and weaknesses. I have twins; one of whom is neurotypical and one who is neurodivergent. Both are growing up to being fine young adults who constantly surprise me with their views about the world and the place they want for themselves in it.
I know one Taiwanese family with five kids. They sent one kid to mainland China, one to Japan, one to Australia, one to USA, and one to Canada. They say it's a way to survive as a family, no matter what happens in this world.
Mom of 6 children here. 5 different schools in two different counties. I got have 2 children with learning disabilities, 1 being tested for learning disabilities and one labeled as twice exceptional. My youngest daughter has autism, adhd with odd. My youngest son has medical issues and my oldest daughter was born with severe heart defects and has a pacemaker. I'm exhausted. It's extremely tough trying to keep up with all the doctor appointments, meetings, therapy sessions, etc.
You lost me at Autism Speaks and ABA. ABA is like conversion therapy to force autistic people to act like neurotypical people, and Autism Speaks doesn't historically support actual autistic people speaking on behalf of our own. I'm out.
I didn't see this video at all but MANNY years I saw a documentary of your family you were so young all so good looking and when your dad came to put some rules in place and run the family again it didn't work you guys were so good looking all of you great to see you 🏵️🌸💐🌹💮💮🏵️🌸🌹
I was born and raised in San Fernando valley. I went to olive vista jr. high and grisly elementary. And homeschooled till we moved to Michigan after the la riots.
You are a very unique family it takes special people to do what you do and God Bless you for being awesome people for your children . Keep up the good work .
Mourn the life that you thought you would and could have had. Nobody sets out to have a family saying "let's have disabled children!" Nobody expects it to happen to them unless they know that they have faulty genes. Otherwise it is a terrible shock that you have to get over. It's something that you only ever expect to happen to other people. So when it does happen, it's a rude awakening.

For me ABA is like your treating a child as a animal
That is where they lost me as well. Dog trainers aren't allowed to use "stragities" used in ABA
I applaud the parents, they are phenomenal!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The moms life would make a good movie
What greater love is there for a Father to find a cure for his Wife’s illness?
One word: Exhausting
"You have to mourn" seriously what
