      I agree with D.R.Warring, she prays for her child born again Christian woman, God did not give you a special needs child, you're not a special parent, God sent his son to heal us, Lord Jesus have to keep your mind on the word ages got nothing to do with your healing
      God's not the author disorder, God is the author of peace, not of disorder
      What you wrote was made by humans to make yourself feel better.
      How to keep your mind on the Lord Jesus, Jesus is the word. We live in a fallen world that's where all the diseases and diagnosis come from, lying to yourself making up quotes does not help your child. There's no diagnosis in heaven.

      That's not right, God did not make give you a disabled child, didn't make you a special parent for a disabled child that's a lie.
      That humans made up to make yourself feel better, God's not the author of disorder he's the author of peace and healing, he sent his son Jesus Yeshua 📖🔥 for salvation in healing you already healed us 2000 years ago and more.

      It's unfortunate that I don't think we will see a cure for a long time until they can figure out what to do with the genetic change on chromosome 15 that turns around and affects how genes are turned on and off. my sister in law has Prader-Willi syndrome. She went to Collins ball last night and was able to meet him. The smile they shared together is priceless. I wish nothing but great things for your grandson and I truly hope my prayers reach your family.

      Respectfully, you need to plan ahead. If there's availability, join forces with family and friends. If there's not, investigate places, foundations, churches. You may make your case known via media and social media, and could get someone contacting you with some avenue. Nothing will happen unless you move.

He is in his mid 20's now, and we need more resources for adults with special needs. A lot of the focus is on children with special needs, but people don't grow up and stop having special needs...resources need to be allocated to adults as well

    • @Marcydalmatian
      @Marcydalmatian 5 місяців тому +1

      No disrespect but there's nothing wrong with using the term disability. Many disabled people prefer that over special needs.
      Several people in the autistic community don't really use levels 1 through 3 to describe their diagnosis. The preferred term is support needs so in the case of your son, he'd be considered autistic with moderate support needs.
      Autistic people in that category usually require assistance with daily living and can either be semi speaking, full fledged speakers or non speaking.
      Each individual can vary.

    I have a son about the same age (similar circumstances/age- autistic non-verbal level 3). It's mostly hard, sad, and awful. But you also experience the purest, most unconditional form of love. It changes you as a person for the better. Love is the most beautiful part of life. You let go of chasing material things, ego based things, shallow living, etc... And you embrace pure love. And you find happiness in the little things, in the little accomplishments, and the loving moments. Thank you Colin! You are your son's hero and an inspiration to many in the same position.

    • @Marcydalmatian
      @Marcydalmatian 5 місяців тому

      You mean your son is non speaking with high support needs. Many in the autistic community prefer these terms because of the stigma regarding non verbal.
      Also, please consider how an autistic person would feel about your comment calling autism sad, hard and awful. That sounds very ableist. Being autistic is NOT the worst thing in the world.
      Yes, it is a disability but it's not all doom and gloom either.

    I am a job coach and work with adults with intellectual disabilities. I live in a well populated suburb of New York City, where services are plentiful( but honestly it is never enough). I would assume they are in California, which also has a higher level of services. My best piece of advice is - it is never too early to investigate the services available. Especially residential! I’ve seen far too many elderly parents pass away, leaving their adult child to be placed in what’s available, whether it’s a good fit or not. It is a true, and sobering, fact that not all residential agencies are created equal.

But even more important is that special needs adults also need help that usually isn’t there The struggles that parents of [SNA] have to meet and take care of until they can’t do it anymore and then who are we to trust when we are gone. Just to travel with a special needs adult is hard because there are no bathrooms that you can change their diapers. The money we have to spend to keep them out of probate.
    I pray that more people come forward to fight for the help special needs adults need to have

    Amazing father and a real man! I noticed that many parents here who have disabled child expressed their worries here, I am wondering that if Colin could have his team to structure a system which allow the parents who become the member of his care center for disabled adult, by either contribute hours to help others or assets to make sure their adult child will be well taking care later when needed. This might help many of them lift the burden in their mind, which could be a life long stress. if he could run the center with all the parents who are in the same situation, the children would be in good hands even the parents were gone.

    Farrel is amazing. I have a adult autistic nephew. I wish there was a place he could live his life in a community. He goes to a day program now.

      If there was housing for autistic people that could live within their communities instead of separate from society, that would be ideal. Sad to say group homes aren't exactly great.

      He seems like a caring father, but that has nothing to do with "sexiest" or a magazine.

      @@PhilAlumb What is meant is sexy does not have to be about the physical appearance of a person, but also about his good character. And the magazine refers to the fact that the video was done by People magazine, which produces a yearly "sexiest" list. I hope that clears my point. Peace.

    My next door neighbor passed away a few years ago and left behind her 66 year old son who has Down Syndrome. Fortunately a family member stepped up and he's now living with he and his wife, but I wonder what would've become of him if there was no one?

    I remember watching an interview where Colin was asked which of his own movies was his favorite. He said he had two favorites - the one where he met James' mother and the one where he met his younger son's mother ❤ I believe both of those relationships ended but he's still grateful that they happened because those women gave him his children, whom he obviously adores.

    Yes, our friends have a child with Angelman’s syndrome, she is a young woman now. I have a child with a different, also extremely rare, neurological disorder who is an adult now as well. Any time a celebrity sheds light on these conditions, it helps everyone a little.
