A big round of applause to the kids who stood in acknowledgement of his accomplishment. I am so proud of this generation. Congratulations to them and especially Jack!
Lavender Sky, it brought me to tears as well. I was amazed at the respect those students, teachers, parents, and others showed for that young man. What is sad, not every school would have done that. They really showed that even with his autism, he was a part of that school and their class of 2019. I sincerely 👏👏 them.
Me too, I can't stop! My son graduated as well, despite being ill his last two years of high school. It's such a blessing for these young people to be able to walk across that stage and receive their diplomas.
Was he the first to get the diploma? And did he leave afterwards? This was really beautiful but I’m wondering what they did when everyone else got their diplomas
This helps me so much. I'm 36 and was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at 14. My parents instructed me to keep my diagnosis a secret out of fear that if the school administration found out I would be placed in the Special Needs Program and my academic future would be destroyed. The times I had disclosed my condition to others after high school I was met with contempt, hostility, humiliation and violence. Please treat the Autism community better. We have so much more to offer the world if you just give us the space and patience to find our footing. Update: Wow! 4K likes in 4 days!?! Thank you so much!!!!

Jonathan Arvizo Some of them didn't because the principal asked no one to clap or make any loud sounds and three students didn't do that because they claped yeah it wasn't loud but still they were still kinda being disrespectful by doing that after the principal asked nicely for no one to do so. Also there might had been more people in the stadium that did that as well just not those three students.
THANK YOU I know lots of people use autistic as a insult but it should be a compliment to how much harder you have to work keep up in a society that never slows down.
Autism is an insult because it’s a flaw in a person. Being short or fat can also be an insult because they’re flaws. Sure you have to work harder, but who wants to work harder in society for success?
I actually have Aspergers Syndrome and will be graduating high school next year. I used to have some troubles with loud noises when I was younger, but I went to sound therapy to help lessen the troubles I had. Now, I am seventeen and taking take advanced classes, a second year in my cooking class, and my final year in Drama Club. People with autism face things very differently, and many will go through hard times. It is through a family’s love and support, and the ability to take chances and pursue passions that allows some of these people to show people what we can do. I know your son can grow to do great things.
Hi my brother has Austium and he is speech delayed he is 10 and is quite sometimes irritated by loud noises ....but when I saw this I cried because i wish for this to happen to my brother one day ...
Only a simple minded person would say such a thing. I have a daughter that has autism and noise is very painful 😖 to them you might want to educate yourself before you make a comment.🙄🙄🙄
2 kids from the special ed class graduated with us. Melvin who I belive had a mild case of Autism Oscar who had ADHD and something else( i forgot) he was so hype at the ceremony and everybody cheered for them. Two of the most chill dudes I met in my school year and so nice.
@Random person same here, its not easy, but i appreciate it to an exteny because I feel as though it gives me a greater understanding of how hard things can be for others as well
Wait you guys got the awkwardness from the boy not from the class? I mean the boy he has autism so he will act like that. The class isn't doing anything wrong, but silence makes me Akward so..
I’m a 13 year old girl from Sweden and I have high functioning autims and this was so beautiful! I go to a special school with max 4 students in every class and I struggle even then every day . My family don’t believe me they just say that I’m weak and that I should stop whining but they don’t know how it’s like
Congratulations Jack !!!! And all the graduates...... to the graduates and audience, that was an awesome gesture and respectful to honor Jack.... your cooperation and you all gave him a standing ovation was soooo so honoring......jack deserved his awarding moment and you all as well good job!!!
I am sorry !!! But this should have not been done for him. This is a country of opportunity and he needed to be treated like every other person that is mentally ill or retarded. Those kids were told what to do and when to do it, as if they had no reason to celebrate. If this Jack is sensitive to loud noise, a private ceremony should have been done just for him or in a classroom inside the school. I am sure even our President would disapprove of this non- sense. #MAGA
@@victorespinoza8 Calm down, Scrooge. It was a lovely, compassionate and humane event. (Something that you and your execrable "president" will likely never have the joy of experiencing.)
@@victorespinoza8 I don't think a private ceremony would have been necessary. The principal just let the students know to be quiet because the noise would have disturbed him.

@@wanefelicia8779 This isn't some spoiled person, they suffer everyday with something they can't control. This was done so this person could enjoy what everyone else can since the others can enjoy it without provisions. A wise rabbit once said, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." Be happy and proud that they did this for someone less fortunate and let it be a lesson, not a negative.
J C but how will he cope with having a job with working with people making noises it’s confusing to know how is he going to function in life without getting annoyed of all these noises
@@liyanibernier5720 A disability at this magnitude will allow for him to collect disability benefits if they cannot give him a job that meets the requirements. But ultimately, it isn't about him getting a job. It is about him getting an education with everyone else. Everyone learns differently, but those with disabilities are not required to work. Plenty of companies work with disabilities of every kind. I am sure he will be fine. Just happy that he can at least get an education, like most everyone else.
My son was diagnosed with Autism and I only hope when he graduates from high school that people are thus kind and respectful. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 congratulations Jack.
Congratulations Jack This brings me back to when my nephew graduated, he is also autistic (not sound sensitive). When they called his name, every kid in his class stood up and cheered. Proud auntie moment. Eric may not say much, but the actions of his fellow classmates spoke volumes.
That’s soo cool. That was my cousins graduation ceremony. I was there and everyone was completely silent the whole time he walked to receive his diploma. It was a special moment in the whole ceremony !
Tears came out here the 2019 is class of respect and love man this is very close to home and my first child bouy I am tears full here right now you go human beings
I really hope and pray people can learn from this school. My nephew who has autism just graduated and it was so hard for him walking up there I could see he was struggling and wanted to leave 😢 it broke my heart because it was so much noise and so fast that they where going through the names we barely heard his name. I wish more people would be understanding. Thank you all to make such a special day even more amazing to someone.
Being an auntie too a 7 year old amazing nephew with autism. I Thank you for this wonderful gesture. Thank you for showing respect from the bottom of my heart thank you.
My daughter also has a disability and in her situation....at her graduation was so wonderful to see that many of the students graduating were supportive of her and helpful I had to choke back tears that day but they eventually got me at the end ....so proud of my girl....please don't make them feel any less they have so much to go through, they don't need any more. ❤
I found that very moving to watch. The deep level of respect given to Jack. Respect that he deserves but perhaps doesn't receive in every situation in life. He was treated as an individual and was shown how much he is valued. I loved the genuine look of pride on the other students faces. Well done Jack and hats of to the school and students for embracing inclusiveness.
this highschool is so respectful of students, I wish all schools were as respectful as this 🙏 I congratulate every student for graduating, this made me tear up 👏
Wow what a kind and great gesture, for the entire audience to be silent and respectful until Josh received his diploma. Another great video that is worth checking out
As a proud grandma of two precious twin boys who have just been diagnosed with autism, this video completely touched me. I wish this young man all the very best. Huge congratulations to you, Graduate!!
That is fascinating they both have autism. How did the doctors react? I wonder if this can give more insight into the cause of autism. Lots of love to your family.
Congratulations Jack 💖🎉🎉 Hats off to all the students for respecting Jack🤗 Be kind, don't judge, and have respect for others. If we can all do this, the world would be a better place. The point is to teach this to the next generation.
Arden Trinity why should they at the end of the day they are humans they don’t have to root or like someone just because they have disability they don’t care and you can tell they never interacted with him
Didn't expect to get the goosebumps that I just did.. Congratulations Jack!

This made me cry... Such consideration gives me hope for my little boy. He's autistic as well and sensitive to loud noises too. ❤️. Congratulations Jack Higgins... 🎉🎊👏🏾👏🏾
Broken at how I got to see that there ARE good people, RESPECTFUL people out there.
Beautiful and respectful
That was my graduation he was the first to walk the stage im so happy he got to go through his graduation with all the students being respectful
Skylar Rivera so where did he go after?
@@liyanibernier5720 we all stood until he walked out of the building
Skylar Rivera what did he study?
This actually made me tear up. I love how respectful everyone was.
ONE time...for ONE kid...real big of them 🙈🙈🙈 if only they could muster the ability to be kind to all other students as well..then id be fkn impressed 👏
@@wanefelicia8779 This isn't some spoiled person, they suffer everyday with something they can't control. This was done so this person could enjoy what everyone else can since the others can enjoy it without provisions. A wise rabbit once said, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." Be happy and proud that they did this for someone less fortunate and let it be a lesson, not a negative.
J C but how will he cope with having a job with working with people making noises it’s confusing to know how is he going to function in life without getting annoyed of all these noises
@@liyanibernier5720 A disability at this magnitude will allow for him to collect disability benefits if they cannot give him a job that meets the requirements. But ultimately, it isn't about him getting a job. It is about him getting an education with everyone else. Everyone learns differently, but those with disabilities are not required to work. Plenty of companies work with disabilities of every kind. I am sure he will be fine. Just happy that he can at least get an education, like most everyone else.
J C that’s sad he won’t be able to function like the rest of those kids he will need care for the rest of his life
Tears rolling down my face..not a word to said. Amazing!
Not trying to be an asshole but that kid 0:59 better not be rolling his eyes at my boy Jack.
Bonnie & Clyde Ride yeah lol
Maybe he has tourette's
Davis lol which 1
Yep, another watcher crying. Very respectful
My son was diagnosed with Autism and I only hope when he graduates from high school that people are thus kind and respectful. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 congratulations Jack.
Look what we can do when we come together as one, congratulations Jack and the entire 2019 class.
That is just amazing,I'm glad that they thought of it possibly overstimulating him with too much noise
😭 what a great accepting and supportive bunch of young adults ❤️💙❤️💙
This made me cry so much! My son has autism as well.
Congratulations Jack
This brings me back to when my nephew graduated, he is also autistic (not sound sensitive). When they called his name, every kid in his class stood up and cheered. Proud auntie moment. Eric may not say much, but the actions of his fellow classmates spoke volumes.
Very touching. Young people sometimes get a bad press but what a beautiful show of humility and respect from his peers. Congratulations Jack!
He got sour patch kids. That’s amazing
That’s very kind of everyone. Much love, much respect.
This level empathy gives me so much hope. Good job to Jack, his classmates and the teachers/administrators who have fostered this environment.
That’s soo cool. That was my cousins graduation ceremony. I was there and everyone was completely silent the whole time he walked to receive his diploma. It was a special moment in the whole ceremony !
Brought tears to my eyes.
Beautiful. You can tell how proud and happy his classmates are for him. These are great stories to show humans.
Stalin: I’m in a bad mood, If I hear any noise you will all go to gulag.
Crowd:
It seems a habit to clap and cheer, but maybe silent recognition is the more powerful, new display of respect.
Donna Woodford Agreed, someone should tell the NFL that.
I cried it was beautiful the way the audience applauded and stood God bless him!
Beautiful. I hope those kids know how lucky they are to have learned from this kid. Take those values with you the rest of your lives.
I'm glad I graduated this year. And wow all those students respected and listened to the man
Tears came out here the 2019 is class of respect and love man this is very close to home and my first child bouy I am tears full here right now you go human beings
100 dislikes? Why?
This is heart touching!! And hard for the parents,,, omg um gonna cry!!
The answer's simple, they're sociopaths bordering on psychotic. They are something you try not to step in.
@@pencils1951 And maybe some people can't handle it emotionally. To some people it would be too much.
@@sarkaniemi I gave you a like. Justin.
@@pencils1951 Thanks mate! Like back!
It's just bots, you can relax.
Having a sister with autism, this brings me to tears. I love how everyone stood as an applause/respect!
Jack best wishes buddy. OMG you guys I'm in tears right now. Great school and staff with great understanding classmates. CONGRATULATIONS
Everyone’s little gentle silent claps aw congrats jack🥺
I really hope and pray people can learn from this school. My nephew who has autism just graduated and it was so hard for him walking up there I could see he was struggling and wanted to leave 😢 it broke my heart because it was so much noise and so fast that they where going through the names we barely heard his name. I wish more people would be understanding. Thank you all to make such a special day even more amazing to someone.
what a respectful school and class. that was amazing. and congrats to jack on graduating.
I am just in tears!! I am so proud of this young intelligent man👏🏽👐🏽🤲🏽🙌🏽!! Big ups to his classmates who stood up for him🤗
Very touching. Very patient and understanding toward another with special needs, or just another person in general. Just lovely.
Yah if only those kinds could muster that effort for other ppl in life too and not just be kind for a few seconds...one day..for ONe individual 🙈🙈🙈🙈
@@wanefelicia8779 I'm sorry, but this was from respect. Not recognition nor attention, just respect.
Being an auntie too a 7 year old amazing nephew with autism. I Thank you for this wonderful gesture. Thank you for showing respect from the bottom of my heart thank you.
My daughter also has a disability and in her situation....at her graduation was so wonderful to see that many of the students graduating were supportive of her and helpful I had to choke back tears that day but they eventually got me at the end ....so proud of my girl....please don't make them feel any less they have so much to go through, they don't need any more. ❤
This is what caring support looks like. Proud of that young man and everyone there!!!! What a moment!!!!!
Yah if only ppl did this for other students too and werent just a bunch of hypocritical fools 🙈😏
What do you mean a good moment!?? This is mean
@@wanefelicia8779 I'm sure everyone got recognition when they got their diploma's. Fuck sake.
I found that very moving to watch. The deep level of respect given to Jack. Respect that he deserves but perhaps doesn't receive in every situation in life. He was treated as an individual and was shown how much he is valued. I loved the genuine look of pride on the other students faces. Well done Jack and hats of to the school and students for embracing inclusiveness.
What a wonderful world! Congratulations to everyone at the school & community. Beautiful.
LOVE. Acceptance. Humanity. I'm about to frigging cry here. this is beautiful.
this highschool is so respectful of students, I wish all schools were as respectful as this 🙏 I congratulate every student for graduating, this made me tear up 👏
Now this shows the basics of respect, compassion and just pure humanity! Well done to this graduating class! God bless you all ☺️
Wow what a kind and great gesture, for the entire audience to be silent and respectful until Josh received his diploma. Another great video that is worth checking out
This is absolutely amazing and has me in tears. ❤
It sure has.
Small favours and blessings like this can bring so much joy to people. Bless them all
That made me cry. Respect is the most beautiful form of love. That level of selfless understanding bred respect. Just lovely.
Jack you got the respect that you deserve a standing ovation
As a proud grandma of two precious twin boys who have just been diagnosed with autism, this video completely touched me. I wish this young man all the very best. Huge congratulations to you, Graduate!!
That is fascinating they both have autism. How did the doctors react? I wonder if this can give more insight into the cause of autism. Lots of love to your family.
Chris Nguyen what the fuck is wrong with you? You disgusting fuck
j ! Jo okay haha
Congratulations Jack 💖🎉🎉
Hats off to all the students for respecting Jack🤗
Be kind, don't judge, and have respect for others. If we can all do this, the world would be a better place. The point is to teach this to the next generation.
What a beautiful moment! Kudos to the principal for such understanding and respect!!!
What a wonderful gesture by everyone......humanity is something special.
Reading the title i got really upset thinking no one was rooting for him but it was really heartwarming
Arden Trinity why should they at the end of the day they are humans they don’t have to root or like someone just because they have disability they don’t care and you can tell they never interacted with him
@@liyanibernier5720
It's called being a nice person
Liyani Bernier i meant maybe his family? Or its just literally polite to applaud at graduation for anyone
DervDerpy if they didn’t know him why should people be nice?
Liyani Bernier because i think most people have an ounce of decency. At any ceremony i applaud everyone even if i dont know them
Extremely emotional for me because my grandson has autism. Congratulations Jack, job well done!
Didn't expect to get the goosebumps that I just did..
Congratulations Jack!
And altho I don't know u kids, all the rest of these graduates, I am so Proud of U for giving ur fellow graduate a standing ovation. Be Very Proud of Yourselves!! And Much Success in All of ur endeavors throughout ur Lives. ♥️
I know how he feels, I am very happy for the respect others showed him.
Thanks a billion!!
So touching..am all teared up..thinking of my autistic grandson who graduated last year .. crowds scares him ..but he received his diploma smiling ear to ear..CARMEL HIGH SCHOOL YOU ROCK (silently)💞💕💞💕..moi Canada
