  • Learn about Hannah's relationship with her brother Hyrum who has autism, and how she exemplifies Christlike love. Everyone deserves to be loved and valued, no matter how different they are from you.
    Listen to an interview with the father of Hannah and Hyrum about their story:
    www.mormonchan...
    mormonchannel.o...
    Hi, my name is Hannah and this is a story about my brother, Hyrum. Hyrum is my big brother and he is eight years old. He's my best friend. Hyrum is like other kids; he likes to run, he likes to play, and he loves movies. But he is also different. Sometimes, he likes to have adventures in his mind. My brother has autism. Autism means you think things different. It doesn't make you bad, it just makes you different. Sometimes, my brother has a hard time telling us how he feels. Mom has him draw things on paper to help us understand him and what he is thinking. Sometimes, kids tease my brother because they don't understand him. I wish people knew my brother like I do. I know he cares about me, even when he acts funny. I love my brother, and he loves me, and we like to go on adventures, like camping, building fires, and roasting marshmallows. He also likes to go to the park or the zoo. Dad says that one day, Hyrum will be able to talk just like me, and tell me how he feels all the time. We don't know why Hyrum has autism; we just know that Heavenly Father made all of us special. Jesus said that we should be kind to all of our brothers and sisters. I want to be like Jesus, don't you? "True love can alter human lives and change human nature. I plead with you to have the courage to refrain from judging and criticizing those around you, as well as the courage to make certain everyone is included and feels loved and valued."

    As we got together for family home evening today we choose to watch several videos. The final was this one. My oldest son is autistic and as we watched everyone in the family was filled with tears. As the video stopped my oldest (12) cried that he wished he could be normal. He crawled on my lap and as a family we hugged each other. My other son his younger brother said. " no Tanner we love you just the way you are, and so does Jesus. He wants you to be different." thank you for this video for all families with special little ones.

      And now I'm shedding tears. It's beautiful that your son has such a wonderful support system. Sad, that he should feel a lack, sad that anyone should feel a lacking that we don't measure up to outwardly views. The scriptures tell us that the Lord looketh upon the heart. That is where we should also look, is upon the heart, and not what the world would have us look upon.

    I have three sons with autism. How I wish they would be treated like this!!! I love them to pieces and know that they have so much to give and teach others, if people just took the time to get to know them, if they just looked behind their actions/behaviour. Sadly, too many people do not. Even in church!

    @heatwaveo8 11 років тому +1

    My story is a little similar. I have epilepsy, but I had symptoms associated with Autism and Aspergers Syndrome until I was 15, so I've lived both worlds. I now live a mostly normal life, but I completely understand Hyrum, and how he feels. People with Autism and Aspergers have such a huge heart! They know they're not normal, and anxiously wish they could be. But the Lord is always with them, for they are His. We are so blessed to have people like him in this world!

    This story touched me more than anyone can imagine. I am the eldest of five; I have a sister just younger than me named Hannah, and our only brother's name is Hyrum. He has autism, and he just turned fourteen. He is teased at school as well, and even in our ward at church there are parents who make critical comments about him and his behavior. But like Hannah in the video, I can see the love that my brother has for those around him. He is a precious child of God, and a blessing in my life.

    My 12 year old is this way with his little brother who has Autism. The love siblings have is just remarkable. Watching my son try to reach into the other's world, is a measure beyond words. Heavenly Father provided these kids with the best love possible... in a sibling that happens to be their best friend. Thank you for this video, both my 12 year old and myself were in tears.

    I watched Hyrum at least ten times and it brought tears to my eyes each time, Hyrum reminded me of my grandson Mark who acts exactly the same but Mark can speak. I am an ex truck driver who doesn't cry very often. Thank you

    It's true that many of us really don't understand those with autism.
    We loved hearing Hannah's perspective; what a great sister she is.

    If you don't walk as most people do,
    Some people walk away from you,
    But I won't! I won't!
    If you don't talk as most people do,
    Some people talk and laugh at you,
    But I won't! I won't!
    I'll walk with you. I'll talk with you.
    That's how I'll show my love for you.
    Jesus walked away from none.
    He gave his love to ev'ryone.
    So I will! I will!
    ...
    I'll walk with you. I'll talk with you.
    That's how I'll show my love for you.

    I watch these and am touched by the message. Then I see that people down vote these videos. I am so confused by why someone would do that other than to just be negative. Anyhow I love to listen to these while I work.

    This totally describes my life. My older brother is also autistic. This little girl has a long road ahead of her. The bullying at school never gets any better and people will never fully understand your brother. Hannah is amazing to love her brother so much and b his friend. Sometimes you will be his only friend.

    The only way people with ASD will ever be respected by society is when they stand up on their own and advocate for themselves by controlling the means of their own representation. Only through coming together and separating from society, and becoming reliant only on themelves, can they ever hope to gain pride, self respect, respect from others and respect from society. Period.
