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."

Autism means “you think things different.” How wise and tender she is. Bless her, and him too.
This made me cry... I am father of two boys, the oldest also has autism. I hope his little brother feels the same about his big brother too.
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!
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.
That's such a touching story :)
So glad your son has such a great support system xx
that is touching
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.
im so happy we have a youtube channel to watch these uplifting videos
dude i have seen this 37 times
I to also have Autism
thank you for doing this
this also helps
That was really sweet. Thank you.
My heart is touched.
I loved this video, they are so cute an example of love. and this is true, everyone deserves to be loved and valued, no matter how different they are from you.
what a wonderful message!!!
Thank you for this lovely video with a wonderful message
This probably just made my month!
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!
These are the ones who have a foothold on both sides of the veil.
We love you Hyrum and Hannah!
Another beautiful testimony "Difficult Questions that every LDS Mormon needs to answer" - may Jesus bless you
WOOO!! That was an explosion of tenderness and cuteness altogether
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.
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.
Love this video!
Thank you for sharing Hyrum and Hannah with our family.
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.
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
I LOVED this video!!!
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 warmed my heart! Thank you, beautiful Hannah. :)
I have a son who has autism, my wife and I have been taking classes on autism, we have learned to have much patience and a lot of extra love with him. The video is awesom.
Thank you Hannah for teaching us that we are all children of a loving heavenly father.
Thank you for this nice video.
I know this family. They are wonderful people, and Hyrum is a huge part of that.
So close to my heart :-) love this video :-)
I love this! I thoroughly enjoyed having Hyrum in my class last year! He is an amazing little boy!
I am also a sibling to a brother with autism. This is very well done and a great message about loving EVERYONE regardless of our differences. Thanks, Mormon Channel, for posting such a great message.
as a mom to three kids one being autistic...i loved this message of just absolute love....I know he loves me and I love him and thats all that matters.
THIS IS SO TOUCHING. I HAVE A NEPHEW AND ONLY WISH THAT OTHERS WOULD TRY TO BE AS INNOCENT AND KIND AS THIS LITTLE "ANGEL"!
The first time I watched this video, I started to cry. As a latter day saint with ASD, this really pulled on my heart strings.
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.
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.

Jared, I agree, I love how there is no language and judging in the comments. And this is an amazing story, it brought tears to my eyes.
AWESOME!!! The joy of Love ,
You can feel it, Now Share It..
Even if your rejected, remember our brother was rejected by men and he overcame and taught We can do even greater work's, Hyram
Has what he need's in his loving
Family.. Love pass it on!!!
precious Hannah thank you for loving your brother
I've been having a hard time. I've struggled with easy things like homework. I know why, but I can't share it with anyone else. This has comforted me in my trials. Thank you.
Love the message. I could certainly do better about refraining from judging and criticizing those around me and truly love others.
President Monson We Love Your Message!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻💙💙🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is one of my favorite messages Because I understand.
I have 2 brothers with autism. This video is so sweet.
Truly inspiring from the lips of a child.
Hyrum you are a blessing to your family. Tnx for uploading this video. Made me want to love my brother and sister even more :)
May we all follow Hannah's wonderful ad
monition and listen to the words of a prophet of God.
Such a wonderful video. I love the perspective of the younger sibling, My older kids have a different view of their Autistic brother than their younger sister, and its been interesting to see the way they handle, and deal, and love.
So sweet,praise the lord.
I love this video and the message it sends. I have shared it with many of my friends. Thanks
This was very emotional it really touched my Hart when I saw this I showed my mommy and she said that he looks adorable and we were crying

Dearest Hannah, you are a precious angel sent from Heavenly Father to help and protect your brave and special brother! Excellent video, it helps me and persuades me to follow Jesuschrist's example!!!
Such an excellent story! Thank you!
To those who made this video Thank you..it was not until my child was nearly grown we learned about her Autism & Other thongs. She has awaus had trouble fitting in, we did nit even know so we just raised her like the rest. She talks , functions reads very well, and is trying to live as an Adult. Not easy but the Lord ha helped.
I have autism. It can be hard but I remember this.
WE ARE ALL THE SAME AND REALITY IS A UA-cam VIDEO WITH A BUNCH OF LAUGHS AND MOMNTS THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
*MOMENTS
This made me cry this is so heart warming
Hannah, I want to be like Jesus too. Thank you. Hyrum is blessed to have you for a sister and best friend.
The joy of Love!! I Love this video! So cute and awesome.
Excelentes mensajes. Gracias por estos mensaje me ayudan a mejorar
That little girl was so adorable.
that was great to watch thanks for sharing this Hyrum & Hannah be strong ;)
Its nice to read comments that don't have profanity, that are spelled right and have a feel good feeling. Thank you all. :)
Seriously, this was an awesome video.
Amazing and sweet little girl!
What an amazing little girl.
I'm crying for you guys
I can totally
Relate to this. I too have autism.
Amen. God Bless You.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Autism doesn't mean you, notice nothing. It means you notice everything. I know because I have autism too
And that should include those who cannot physically attend. Virtual church is a godsend (sad that some wards have discontinued it 😢), but even with that, for us that are homebound, caregivers, ect, it feels like looking through a one way window. We get to see hand hear about ward members, but they don't even see us. It only helps a little with my loneliness and isolation. Sometimes it reminds me of everything I've lost while seeing others live, that no one even notices or cares that I'm no longer there, ect, which makes me feel even worse. And I know there are many who feel the same as me. ❤
Best part: "I want to be... like Jesus. Don't you?"
This is the SWEETEST thing EVER! I love it!!!! :)
Precious!
i use to be like Hyrum how i could not be able to talk and express my feelings to my mom and I would always go away from my mom but i would always find a way home.
Love the video

I love this..
Very amazing
i agree
“When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up.” GOD is ready and close than you imagine. enock
Great vídeo, made me think I need to love and respect all my Brothers despite their problems, I wanna be like Jesus, yes, just like this little sister does.
This is so cute
I LOVE IT!!!! your so nice. AND CUTE
Is there a way I could get in touch with this family? I have a little brother (14) with autism, also named Hyrum. I want to introduce my parents to this family because I think they would be able to support each other--dealing with an autistic child (brother, son, etc.) is a blessing, but it can be difficult at times. Please let me know.
just Beautiful ;)
my friend has Atisum and the kids picked on him because of it I felled bad for him
Totally right
i like this vid
Im autistic member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints
The zoo in this video is in Idaho Falls. I spent many a happy time at that penguin exhibit
Amen
I love this video!!! make me fell happy, because a can feel the spirit and think how can I help the people arround me!!1 Thank´s Lord!! I want to be like Jesus don´t you? =)
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.
Who are the 33 people that to date don't like this video? I just don't get that.
Hermos...
Lovely JC Deerborn The JD Family I am of the JT family
