- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Autumn is 28 inches tall and has broken 74 bones at 6 years old due to a rare condition known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type VIII. She struggles to find friends and shares, "Some people don't let me play because of the way I am." Instead, she usually rides in her wheelchair up and down the ramp alone at recess. Autumn wants others to know that if you want to be her friend you just have to be nice.

I'm often asked, "What can I do to help SBSK?" Honestly, the best thing you can do is just be nice to people. Make friendships with those around you. That's the purpose of these interviews. There are kids and adults who feel the same as Autumn all across the world. Some are disabled, some are nondisabled. I hope these videos show that taking the time to be a kind person to others can make a world of difference.
Yesss kindness pays off!
The best thing to do is tell her about the joy there is in believing on Jesus Christ for salvation! She will love that!!
You’ve really changed a lot of people’s lives. It takes a very special person to do what you do.
You should meet me!! I have CMV, and I'm glad to meet you. Contact me if interested!!
The world needs more people like you, Chris.
Wow -- she is sooooooo intelligent. I've never seen a 6 year old with such emotional maturity. She's absolutely going to do something big in the world when she's older.
I honestly feel like it has got to be such a curse and maybe also a bit of a blessing, but a fraught blessing, to be forced to grow up so quickly when you are born with a life-altering diagnosis.
I totally agree
Yea it's quite shocking 😲
that defffinitely is a trend on this channel. the kids are sooo so smart and mature so soon (sadly)
She should collaborate with Lizzie Velasquez!
This little girl has more empathy in one pinky finger than most adults have in their whole being. What a sweetheart she is, props to her parents for raising such a loving child. The other kids excluding her are the ones missing out.
I couldn't agree more! She's absolutely beautiful inside and out! 🥰
Took the words right out my mouth! She’s an absolute gift to the world. God bless her💗
Ikrrrrrrr
I totally agree with you.
@@Thisgirlysoooopreppy I love her shes soo smiley 😢😂😂❤❤ I feel bad for her❤❤😢😢😢 it's a lot to deal with😢😢😮
When she said “Some people don’t let me play because of the way I am” made me so mad. She’s such a sweet heart, she’s adorable, and I would love to be her friend 💗
" I'm the cop but I have no robbers." That hurt my soul. Autumn, you are beautiful, kind, gentle and very smart. The world sees you and you have brightened my day. Thank you sweetheart
I cried when she said that
@@ShanaSimon4eva- same 😢
This child is ONLY 6 years old? Autumn is amazing!! Bless her. I am humbled at 70 yrs. 👵🏾 Her intelligence and speech is directly attributed to her wonderful parents.
Amen
May God protect, bless and guide you and your loved ones! 🥰
@@TheHhalfScandinavianGirl Amen
for she will - she will.
Beautiful family!
Amein ❤❤❤
7:07 “what is it like to be 6 years old?” Autumn: “a lot harder than I thought it would be” that really hit me.. she doesn’t deserve this. Something I love abt her so much is that she’s so happy in the condition she’s in.
"What's it like to be 6 years old?"
_"A lot harder than I thought it would be."_
Absolutely precious! You rock, Autumn!
That was my best part I had already commented but when she said that it's a lot harder than she thought her homework is hard and she can't find her little toys just had me just tickled pink
I realize I’m the cop, but I have no robbers. Profound words
That was so sad to hear....
When I was a kid I didn't have many friends to play with so I felt that
It broke my heart
Dude...that got me, too.
She needs to copyright that. Make shirts with the saying. I would love a mug. I often had no one to play with, it was so hard not to cry a school
This little Angel is breaking my heart, she deserves all the friends!!! 😞
She is the most precious thing ever!
I know right? What do you think about her?
"It occurs to me.." when talking about her brother. So well articulated for 6 years old I love it
"That contusion...whoo, that was a really bad one!" Such a smart child.
that's what got me too 🤣 I loved it also 💯💯💯🙌🏻😌🙌🏻 I was like that when I was her age too 😳 I think God gave her ( as well as others similar to her ) a perspective on things on an emotional level that not everyone experiences... if ahe reads this...
hunnie....one day you'll realize just how special & wonderful that is 💓 hone in on it & nurture it 🪴 you really do mirror your Momma 💯💯💯🙌🏻😌🙌🏻 I can tell that she's done a wonderful job all bc you want to be just like her 🥰🥹 I just had a newborn baby girl 🫶🏻 about 4 & 1/2 months ago 👶🏻👼🏻🍼🐣🐤🐥🌈✨🤍💓❣️Drs said I'd never be a Mom... but God decided I would be one anyway !!! 🙌🏻😌🙌🏻💯💯💯 & even though I've spent 20 years being a Nanny... I'm now just beginning my journey of motherhood & I hope & pray that I can be just as good a Momma as we can tell your Mom has been to you 🥹 y'all have a very beautiful exemplary Mother/Daughter relationship!!
I pray for you & your family ❤ & I'd be proud to call you friend 🦚
GBY 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻
@@miagoodasman i didn’t even know what a contusion was
This girl is so sweet, my goodness. I'd love to be her friend
Why is she so flipping cute ❤❤☺️☺️oh my heart
Me too.
Same!
Same
Same omghhhh
This girl is amazing! Very intelligent for a 6yr old.
What a beautiful soul!!
Wow. She is. You sound so lovely 🌹❤️
Where are you from?
Autum, I had a friend who was born with Osteogenesis imperfecta. She was adorable just like you are. I was so lucky to get to carry my friend Sally around and she and I would laugh and laugh being silly. When she grew up she eventually learned to walk with crutches. Then she learned to drive a car and after getting a college degree she got a job and moved into her own apartment. As she got older,, her bones became less fragile so she had less to fear. I hope you find good friends. Stay silly You will find silly friends that way.
🥰🤗
I hope people would thumb 👍🏼 up so Autumn would read This ❤
I'm so glad your friend was able to accomplish so much! Makes me feel very optimistic for Autumn too because she's so bright.
I hope Autumn gets to read this sweet and thoughtful comment!
i hope her parents read her such comments, it will make her so much more happy with herself.
SHES SIX? she is more well spoken than i am and im 19. and the way she’s so down to earth and sees things as they are is insane for her age. what an amazing kid!
Any!!!
I’m 29 and my vocabulary’s great but I stutter sometimes.
@@155chipmunkzsame 😂
THIS MADE MY DAY. 💗 im about to cry right now she is the most precious girl in the world. she needs to be protected at all times.
I actually did cry I'm such a sap 😭😭😭
“It’s not about how you look, it’s how you’re kind and how you think about people”
This girl has been through so much but each and every set back has made her so so strong.
Beautifully said ❤️💯
This girl is blowing my mind! She's 6 and has this level of maturity and compassion and intelligence! She's amazing!
Dear Autumn my son who is 42 yrs old with 40 breaks/surgeries and also his two children have Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 1 Tarda A autosomal dominant with blue sclera. You my dear sweetness are an old soul and going to do Fabulous things in life. It's a challenging road but you will build confidence and resilience in this tough world to attain anything you want in life. Sending you blessings and Love. XOXOXO
My daughter is friends with Autumn, but we live out of state. Autumn is an amazing, sweet, smart little girl. I’m so proud of her for sharing her authentic feelings and advocating for herself.
Smiled watching him be so nice and playful to her ❤️🩹
Her speech is very proper for a 6 year old. She is beautiful and kind. I love her
Omg me too i truly love her … she’s a sweetheart
I learned how to read when I was 2 but I have a slight stutter.
All she is requesting from us is nice words. That means a lot to her.
Because she is already dealing with alot, nice and kind words would really go a long way for her ❤❤❤❤.
🌸
What an adorable, bubbly and extremely intelligent little girl!! God bless Autumn and her lovely family ❤❤
SHES 6?!?!?!? Holy moly!!!! She talks WAAYYYY beyond her years!❤
Right! I'm like excuse Miss Ma'am there's no way you're only 6. Ugh I could talk to her all day.
She has the most beautiful eyes to match her beautiful spirit. Her brother is darling too. And she has great parents. This interview was amazing.
Agreed!
Her whole family is just adorable. I love their color coordinated outfits.
Parents, please teach your kids to be kind to others even if some of us are different it’s ok to be friendly..she’s such a sweet girl ❤
You sound so nice. Where are you from?
I am nice.Why are you asking?
@@D.Milton-Husaw6819 Nothing much. Just trying to be friends
she seems incredibly mature for her young age
Chronic disease will do that to you
That's what lots of pain does to a person
That's not a dad. That is a father! She is so lucky to have a family who cares and loves her.
Her family is beautiful
Being a mother or a father is just biology. But being a real mom or dad is about love.
I love this kid❤
Surely these are real parents full of parental love ❤ you and praying for you
I’m 24 and I’d be her friend! She’s so well spoken and kind!
You can tell her parents love her. When she said her mom is smart and strong and cute i almost cried
I know! And she loves them just as much
Man, these are some of the most amazing empathetic parents I’ve ever seen. Taken for words. Kudos to you, mom and dad.
They are amazing! This little girl is amazing to. She has such a big heart
Her smile and laugh are infectious, this video had me grinning the whole time!! Hoping nothing but the absolute best for Autumn!!
This vocabulary at age 6 is INCREDIBLE..... I am just beyond mindblown and my heart is stolen by this wonderful joyful little girl!!!! I hope someday years later we get update about her!!!
“I would change the sadness to make it happy” aww she so cute 🥹
Oh my gosh, she's so sweet and smart. Great family.
She is an empath. A beautiful girl with a beautiful heart and soul.
Her classmates need to understand how to play with her which means the teachers need to be a part of teaching social skills when it comes to those who appear different from themselves.
Friendships are built on common ground. 6 year olds need prompting and understanding how to make a friends. My impression from this video is that Autumn is left to letting friendships happen vs guiding her and her classmates to create friendships.
Autumn is the sweetest little girl and I wish her the best. I can see where she’d fear the world considering how her bones fracture so easily. Despite her challenges she’s got what it takes to grow up and be a happy adult, her parents will make sure of it ❤
Same thing I was thinking. My 6 and 5 year olds will play with any kid. They are watching with me and were saying that would be so fun to be pulled over by Cop Autum. ❤
thinking the same thing - some parents talk to the class themselves. kids need to know what's going on and how they can help participate or play
I agree 100%. Especially at that age, adults need to help facilitate play. My son is 5 and autistic and it makes me sad when other little kids don't want to play with him. So, I always try and help him make friends 😊
Yesss I was just saying this in my comment on this video!
I am a mom to a special needs child myself. She is 6 on November 11th and in senior kindergarden. She has autism. Although she is verbal. She lacks normal social skills and has a hard time keeping conversation going. Etc. I WISH that the teachers would take the opportunity when my child is absent for appntmnts to have an age appropriate conversation where they could let the kids know what's going on with my daughter and that she needs to be invited in and needs extra help sometimes etc. Maybe the kids could ask questions any of them have about her.
Last year the kids in my daughter's class would sometimes ask me about her. And I didn't take offense to it. I would answer their questions with a smile no matter what they were.. a few of them told me she's really cute. And that they love her. She would come home with pictures drawn for her by classmates. And this year I don't know what happened... same teacher. Some of the same students... but she's just getting bullied this year. It hurts my heart.
@@mawmawmakeup3602
Oh no!! She’s getting bullied? 🥲. That’s definitely a symptom of ignorance on the other children’s part. That’s what I’m talking about. At that age the bullying behavior could be an attempt to understand. They need guidance!
That breaks my heart because it doesn’t have to be that way. In my opinion, children with challenges like autism and other developmental disorders need their own environment where they can make friends and learn social skills alongside curriculum.
There used to be services like that in schools but nowadays children with disabilities are expected to learn alongside non challenged children without the proper resources in place.
Where I live there’s an elementary through HS age school that’s focuses on education for those with autism and other disabilities. It’s huge as well as successful and there’s two others that will be fully operational soon. There’s a huge need and I hope that we’ll see more in every state.
In the meantime parents will have to advocate for their children even if that means going in a ruffling some feathers to kick things in gear. These children and their families deal with enough.
You are such a precious beautiful little angel. Amazingly sweet and very intelligent. Autumn is going to be a scientist and will change the world for a better. She is a great blessing to all. Love you autumn and your wonderful family.
Oh, my goodness, she is so adorable and smart....a true ray of sunshine.
She's so beautiful and smart, her smile is contagious ☹🩷
She’s precious omg and so adorable
“I really really wanna be like my mom.” This incredible,beautiful, intelligent, mature loving young lady is so beyond in her years. She puts majority of “adults to shame. Her loving parents have done a fantastic job in raising her. Something most that give birth nowadays don’t do.They are all blessed to have one another. This little one has been here before. She will grow up to do amazing things. So wise beyond her years. Autumn anyone that meets you should consider themselves lucky. You are one special girl!
Such a sweet little girl. The world needs more people like you Chris.
❤
Autumn you’re truly amazing and inspirational! Thank you for being you. God Bless your entire family, this is the definition of love and happiness! ❤️🙏🏾
I work with students with disabilities and they are some of the most HILARIOUS and intelligent people I’ve ever met. Autumn is so amazing! ❤
"I like to play cop and robbers but I realize I'm the cop but I have no robbers". What a sharp sense of reality Autumn! And beautiful eyes in a nice face.
She's such a cutie pie. It's clear she has a wonderful bond with her mum.
Autumn should have an aid at school who can help her get involved with playing with the other kids. Like with hopscotch, it wouldn't be hard to push her wheelchair along the hopscotch markings. I know it's not the same but at least she would be involved in some way. I just feel so sad that she's missing out and feeling excluded. She seems like such a sweet, intelligent young girl and I bet she'd be an amazing friend to those kids. Her parents are doing an amazing job raising her!
right? it sounds like the school is failing her
She is the most well spoken 6 year old I have ever heard. What an intelligent, sweet, beautiful girl. Never change. Autumn!
❤❤❤🤗
What a beautiful and joyful family! Happy to know Autumn and her family are around to share this earth with. ❤
Chris is so good at finding the level. Also ‘being six is a lot harder than I thought it be’ is so real.
My daughter has osteogenesis type 3. She's 16. Around the time she was born. There were only five types. Now they have 15. My baby for the first time just had surgery to straighten her limbs cuz the bones are too brittle to ever get rods so hopefully she'll be able to walk this year. The legs are straight and now she's in her braces. In a couple more weeks. They're going to start applying pressure to the limbs through physical therapy. And she's never walked ever before in her life. This baby reminds me of my baby 🥰🥰🥰
Aww so glad to hear she’s gotten her rodding surgery praying for a speedy recovery
Здравствуйте! Я из России и у меня тоже остиогинез , были переломы , мне 40 лет . Зовут Наталья! Передавайте привет своему ребёнку! Желаю ей здоровья! Хотелось бы общаться !
She very sweet and she can be agood comedian 😂ilike her ❤
That makes me want to cry tears of joy. My heart hurts for children and parents who must fo through such difficulties. My prayers are with your daughter.
That’s so awesome. Hope your daughter is doing well now and has been able to start walking. She sounds like an amazing young woman.
God bless this man and channel for the work they do. It raises so much awareness and educates people. 🙏🏾🙌🏾👊🏾
I’m an X-Ray technologist and I’d be honored to take her x-rays. She is precious and well spoken.
I have O.I like her, not the same type but I love my x-ray techs. I’ve have had a few that were.. not as nice lol. It definitely makes it easier to sit there in pain when the tech is as nice and comforting!
@@BrookeKatherine. Nice to hear from you.
I'm in school for this, and same.
She's absolutely perfect. Smart, well-spoken, empathic, and so unfairly socially isolated.
I absolutely love her. I'd be honored to even spend 5 minutes with her.
@@Mothman_In_a_T-Pose Great Career choice.
I’ve been a Technologist since ‘94
I usually have a hard time watching these because the tears start running... This one wasn't a exception. Such a strong lady... For what she lacks when it comes to her body she makes up in love kindness and caring. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I wish you the best
she’s just so beautiful. what a wonderful human with amazing parents 🥹❤️
Man I wish I could be 6 years old again so I could go and be her friend. She seems so sweet and she seems like an amazing person. It breaks my heart that kids around her don’t want to be her friend.
You can see just how loved she is by how she speaks about her family. Every child deserves parents like hers.
So intelligent for her age. I wish nothing but the best for her kind sweet and beautiful soul. She’s amazing and so adorable, this video touched my heart to the core😢❤
Same here. It's so heart touching 😢❤️
You sound so nice. Where are you from?
She just made me realize my complaints are just nuts...she is beautiful and a blessed and joyful kid
Oh my sweetheart, I almost cried when she was talking about how she's sad about her friends not wanting to play with her 😢😢 she deserves all the love, she's so intelligent and loving 🥺🥺💗💗
I'm 67 and I wish I was even half as intelligent and wise as this absolute gift of a child. It's true: some of the biggest gifts come in the tiniest packages.
Before she said her age, she'd spoken quite a lot and I just assumed she was a teenager with some disability. Imagine my shock at hearing her say she's 6.
What in the world!!!!!!!!! 😮😮😮
How such emotional maturity, thoughtfulness and articulation reside in the body of a 6-year old leaves me astounded.
Autumn, you're a ray of sunshine. Your smile adds to the brightness of the world.
You're a star!!!!!!
She's very beautiful, outspoken and smart. And her joy is so contagious.
She's so very bright and articulate for a 6yr old. It's not easy making friends at any age but she's got what it takes to make a Super Best Friend to someone who actually recognizes what True Friendship really is. You go Girl!
Absolutely, well said !!! 👍
4:47 She looks so happy when he said "I wanna be your friend." OMG I hope she finds LOTS AND LOTS of friends and she lives a happy life!!!
Autumn is amazing! I can't see why anyone won't fall in love with her. What a blessed child! God bless you Autumn and remain wonderful🙏🏾!
I'm a big burly guy and Autumn made me cry! her families spirit is what we all need more of! God Bless you one and all.
i’ve got osteogenesis imperfecta type 1, broken something like 30 bones in my life at the age of 25, comparatively lucky to a lot of others with the diagnoses. glad to see someone with such a positive outlook and mindset despite her circumstances at such a young age.
She's absolutely precious oh my god. Wishing her a long, happy, and healthy life!
She is the sweetest little adult kid I’ve ever seen 😂😂 speaking in metaphors, talking about feelings, going “whoof 🙄” when talking about how much time she spends in the hospital. So funny. I’ll play cops and robbers with Autumn any day ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😊😊😊
I have been watching for years and years and Autumn is 100% my favorite person you have interviewed. She stole my heart. Autumn’s parents, if you see this, PLEASE tell Autumn how sweet, precious, SMART, funny, strong she is. When she gets older and the other kids catch up to where she is maturity wise, it will be easier to connect with people and find her place socially. let her know how LOVED she is by so many of us around the world. And please let me send baby girl a kitchen set!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She is amazing, such a sweet little angel. May God bless you and your family. I wish you more love and happiness
I love her parents too... they are really solid there for her.
Yes. I was humbled by them. Beautiful family.
@@angieormiston8028 You can see sometimes how much the families are struggling, which is 100% understandable. But this family just looks so connected and full of love. The dad "I just wanted to hit the ground running."
She's only 6? She speaks as if she is much older! She's so articulate and expresses herself so well. You're amazing, Autumn!
What a Sweet, Beautiful Little Girl❤❤❤God Bless This Family❤
Soon as she said she would change the sadness in the world to make it happy i started crying, she's such a sweet girl. God bless her 🙏🏽
who in the hell would make fun of disabled child your a monster god bless you kid keep smiling
Is this a serious question? Other kids is who... Kids tend to not know how words affect other people and they also don't understand emotional consequences or intelligence. Kids are always the cruelest but they don't know any better and that's why we as adults & parents teach them to be better.
Sadly, many people including older teens, young adults, and supposedly mature adults.
Kids don't understand the same way adults do.
You would be surprised, I use to take care of a disabled child who was a literally Angel and the looks some adults gave him broke my heart.
God loves you baby....his ways are not ours....what Satan meant for evil towards u...God will turn around...he has a wonderful plan for ur life...Mom and Dad be strong for her...lovely soul....❤❤❤❤
What sweet little girl, very well spoken ♥️
This child is exceptional. She’s beautiful and so smart! Love her!
Absolutely the sweetest, smartest 6 year old I've ever seen. She's been through so much, when she talks about her fractures so nonchalantly, it breaks my heart. Such an empathetic and nice person, and her parents seem amazing.
Autumn you are a beautiful old soul!!! I love you so much! Your wisdom and intelligence blows me away!! How blessed you are to have such amazing parents!!
This young girl is very smart. She speaks with grace. Her soul is awake.
6 years old? She looks so smart and intelligent for her age. God bless you Autumn!
She’s so sweet and intelligent! I also love how supportive her parents are! I hope she has a bright and happy life 💗
I love the unbridled joy Chris brings to some of the children featured on SBSK. It’s already hard growing up and feeling different when you are able bodied, but so many of us have it a lot better than we know. Thank you, Chris 🧡
What a beautiful child! I have no doubt she will have many friends throughout her life. I could not resist laughing when she laughed and I was taken in by her funny, silly, charming personality! She is blessed with many gifts to take on these challenges as well as having the love and support of a strong, loving family. May God bless them all on her journey into adulthood.
She's such a sweet little doll. It is always so heartbreaking to hear them say they don't have friends or don't have someone at school to play with. I feel very strongly that school staff should get involved and encourage other students to befriend and include those who are different in some way. Explain to them that although maybe she can't run around to play she can still be involved on so many other levels. She can sit with friends to read, color or do puzzles for example... or even just talk.
I work in the school system. It’s not usually the school staff-it’s the parents of the “normal” kids not setting a good example to befriend those that may be a little different and/or probably their parents make fun of people that are different behind closed doors so the kids pick up on it.
I wish she had more ways to get involved at recess. Maybe a bubble maker? Or a little speaker so she could be the dj? Something to draw kids in while keeping her safe
Staff getting involved might work when she's six but would probably repel other kids as they get older . I've always had a hard time making friends and have learned to amuse myself and take it when it comes .
@@celestialcircledance Ah, but if the staff intervenes now while you can still teach the other kids then she may gain friends for life, and further intervention won't be needed
@@StaysAndStories it is better to get them early. I hope you're right!
The world could learn a lot from this beautiful young lady..
What do you think about her?
What a delightful child, she will go far ❤
She is remarkably well spoken and good natured. I’m glad she has her parents and her parents have her. What a beautiful family. Thank you for letting us get to know this wonderful little girl.
What a sweetie, cutie pie. Life is tough for such precious little souls, I'm glad she has such loving parents and a brother to look out for her all along.
Autumn is one of the most articulate 6 year olds I've heard! What a sweet little girl❤
She immediately grabs you and pulls you in. She’s so sweet. What a doll ❤❤❤❤❤
This little girl is a beautiful angel, I would be her friend in a heartbeat...it makes me so very sad knowing she just rides her wheelchair alone at recess and no one will play with her. Shame on them.
She is so intelligent for a 6 year old. She's a gem.
My precious girl!!!! You're awesome!!!!!!
This child is an Absolute gift to this world, God Bless her and her Awesome family!!!!
Most precious girl ever. Such a wonderful personality. 💚💜❤️ Beautiful and so strong too!
She has a highly sophisticated intellect for her age. So eloquent, observant, and what a great disposition. I wish I had a friend like her in gym class when I was young.
She's really a precious little girl!
