I have Autism too (and adhd), the way you explained autism is amazing, especially since your not humiliating anyone for the things they CAN'T control
Love your content, keep up the wholesome
👍
Same here.
For a while it was believed you could not have autism and ADHD at the same time. Now, it has come to be known as AuDHD.
I am in my teens and have autism and I can say everything you said in this video about the autistm spectrum is true. Over time some people can make their own filter, for example: I can still hear everything else, but the person I'm talking to is the main source of my concentration if I focus and at this point at restaurants I just have to listen to 7 different conversations and had to get used to it over time..... Probably why I always cried near the end of every dinner for YEARS.
you worked so harder than most of normal ppl, great job
I can sympathize with you because you and I are the same. What you comment is what I wanted to say for a long time. Thank you I love you

This was a wonderful way of learning and understanding autism. Thank you to the Rober family! As the mother of a disabled son, it's taken me 31 years to realize that my son's superpower has been turning his mom into a better person by teaching her the true meaning of service, love, of compassion, empathy and more! Your son is your gift! But you already know that! ❤
He’s so sweet and his smile just melts your heart! It was incredible to see your beautiful family. You are so blessed. ❤

Hej fra Denmark! Mark, my son and i love love love watching your projects on UA-cam... and we're both on the spectrum. I can't wait to show him this one! We always get so happy when we find more people from our "tribe". Thank you so much for sharing. You're doing an amazing job!
Its very disappointing seeing people online commenting on autism as something very bad or something worth laughing at. I love to see people with such credibility talk about it. Thank you, Mark.
Also sorry if I was late on this, It’s been a mess putting the channel back up.
People are just dummies(we all overrating human's mind), and some of them just can't even think in normal way, all we can do to this is just accepting this fact and trying to being higher than these people

Wait really?
I knew a guy, we called him Bus-Alex.
Because he knew every bus schedule in whole of stockholm. Even the parts slightly outside of Stockholm.
It's crazy.
He couldn't explain how he did it either.
The clip of the father and the son in the manual transmission car had me crying. Never in my life have I had a moment like that with my father. But it still makes me happy to see how wonderful life can be when you truly accept people for who they are.
You guys are great. I cannot help but express my deep joy that you exist in this world. I understand that your path is not always easy. I am a single father myself. When my son and I were alone, I was 20, and it was extremely difficult. There were days when I had to give up food just to feed my son. Every time I looked at his smile, I felt that I was ready to endure any difficulties for his sake, to become stronger and better. Today I work as a programmer, and everything was going very well for us. I wish your son and all the children of this world will and happiness. After your video, I realized that I wanted to share these feelings of gratitude and admiration. Thank you for your work and inspiration
My 8 year old is also diagnosed with autism. Thank you for making this and raising such sensitive, humanizing awareness.

I have always enjoyed your videos. I am a fellow science nerd and I also have an autistic son. I know from my own experience how protective you are of your son and why. Thank you for sharing your beautiful boy with us. We are better for it.
This was really inspiring and definitely was a tear jerker. I relate to this with my son as well. He wanted to make UA-cam videos, so I’ve tried to help him, but the internet is a scary thing. This has given me more courage to continue trying to help him with his dream. Thanks for having the courage to share this!

This is such a wonderful video. My three siblings and I have High Functioning Autism and I really relate to this video. Your son is very precious and priceless. Your family does a wonderful job at helping make the world a better place. Thank you for being so inspiring. It really helps me feel not so alone.
Thanks for this video! I’m a Special Education teacher at a non-public school in Sacramento. I’m literally on my way to work and just watched this…thank you so much for helping educate your viewers. You’re helping the community as a whole, and this made my day.
Thanks for making this Mark, my brother has autism and severe learning disabilities. I know just what you mean about wanting to keep family private esp with an Internet profile like yours, but I'm starting to learn that sharing my experiences can be useful for others. This took a lot of bravery and I'm sure will not only raise money for a great cause but educate a lot of people. It was lovely seeing you with your boy.

Wouldn't it be nicer to let the kid die since letting a kid live a terrible life would be hard thats why doctors kill ill patients that aren't getting better
Its not possible to give answer to unlimited amounts of question so before commenting how about you answer this. Would you rather live with a disease or die to end it all? If you pick to live then hospitals should ban the process to end someone misery.

Great video!!. As a parent with 2 boys on the spectrum I thank you and your wife. This is very challenging and people who have no idea really have no idea. I hope this video speaks to those people. TY Ty ty ty!!
"He loves to laugh until he can't breathe"
His laughter made my month.

As a person with i light type of autism, this video was really motivating to watch and made me realize that being autistic means a lot more than a lot of people might think.
It's extremely heartwarming to realize that Mark has enough faith in the community that he built to share something so sensitive.

They dont want to help us autistic folks
They want us dead.
As a father, this helps me. I’m not embarrassed, but I don’t know how to explain it to people. My boys make me proud everyday
swag
Don't explain it. It's not your problem. It's not your kids problem. If it's not hurting anyone, you don't need to explain anything. Honestly, in this day in age, if you feel like you have to explain then the people you're talking to don't deserve your attention.
is that picture you with francis ngannou?
Thank you for making my heart smile today
i’m very proud of u mark for the kind of father that u are and for the kind of amazing son that u have ….. u both are a true example of a father and son relationship….you both are truly amazing ❤

Glad to have viewed this, albeit sometime after you posted it. You’re a great dad and inspirational host!
This is truth! What a beautiful video from a loving father. My neighbor, Jimmy, is on the spectrum. His honest love for others, his joyful personality, his trusting nature, and his absolute lack of any selfishness are just some of the many reasons our community loves him. He's a very bright light!
Don’t say your son can’t achieve success like phd or something like that, I fully believe in him that he can achieve anything, wish him the best.
As someone who’s on the spectrum, I’ve never seen anyone describe how hard it is to pay attention to a conversation in public so well. Amazing work!
My uncle is On the spectrum
I’m on the spectrum
my sister has mild autism and I haven't really understood how she works that well until this video, so I thank Mark Rober
My brother has low-functioning Autism which basically means for him he can’t talk in whole sentences and can’t go to the toilet, doesn’t understand danger, crying hurts him etc. It’s really sad and it’s hard for all of us
I'm on the spectrum as well, and I agree!
The fact that Mark is so scared to put his family on the internet really reflects poorly on us as people. While I can’t afford to donate, I want to thank Mark for taking the time to Share this cause with us.
You can donate!
Either by you or by making someone else do it!
