    If I look younger here it's because this video is actually 2 years old and it's just taken us this long to feel comfortable releasing it since this is the internet. So please be kind and please consider sharing and donating :)
  • @MrBeast
    I’m proud of you for this! Very informative and genuine, idk what to say but this is easily one of your best videos!
  • @orangepeanut
    It’s enough to make a grown man cry... and that’s ok
  • 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
  • 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.

    Didn't think I could respect you even more than I did.

    My 8 year old is also diagnosed with autism. Thank you for making this and raising such sensitive, humanizing awareness.
  • 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! ❤
  • @Rambat
    He’s so sweet and his smile just melts your heart! It was incredible to see your beautiful family. You are so blessed. ❤

    "His superpower is making people happy" Like father, like son

    Hej fra Denmark! Mark, my son and i love love love watching your projects on YouTube... 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!

    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

    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.
  • @rachelpiteck
    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.
  • @tayzonday
    As an autistic adult with debilitating hyperacusis, I appreciate this.
  • @SeanHodgins
    I can attest to the awesome drawings, as I'm a proud owner of one myself.
  • 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.
  • @jboogie6197
    This was really inspiring and definitely was a tear jerker. I relate to this with my son as well. He wanted to make YouTube 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!
