The face of autism


Here's the story -- well, the first five years -- in the life of Quinn: a wonderful, exuberant, mostly non-verbal boy with autism. You can see how the signs appeared over time, even before his diagnosis was made at 21 months. *** Teachers/schools/community service groups: You may use this video as part of autism awareness or positive educational training. No additional permission is required. (I can provide a higher-resolution version if needed.) NOTE: Unfortunately, I no longer have the faceautism.org domain name mentioned in the video -- so I have no idea what might end up on there. Sorry.

I have an 11 year old son who is autistic. He does not have any special talents, does not communicate socially and does not read or write. Although he is special and deeply loved, caring for him is very hard. Autism is very much a spectrum disorder and few are lucky enough to have an autistic child with special talents as the majority have learning disabilities. Do not be misled by this video.

Thank you for your video. Your little one reminds me a lot of our little girl. We are just starting our journey in Autism. She goes in Jan to get tested.

Your son is so sweet. He looks like a very happy child =] I have a friend I'm very close with and he has Autism and a few other Disorders, so I wanted to do a little research on his problems so I could try and understand a little more. So far I've looked at the early signs and a few other things. So thank-you for making this, it's helping me try and understand what Autism is. I hope maybe I can help him too, I'll be checking out some other vids now, but I just want to say again, Thanks!

Wow, your son has got that look of a movie star!

You son is just beautiful and reminds me of my own in so many ways. He has the same look of sweet innocence and those eyes look so much like my Luke. He was diagnosed PDD at age 3 and is now 6. He started memorizing long passages from movies, mostly Thomas at age 2. He could say very complicated words if he was "reciting" them from a movie, but could not answer "yes" if asked did he want juice. After years of ABA and GFCF (among other things) he is doing well in 1st grade now. Love the CW!

i manage a residential service 4 adults with autism, i find your childs experiences inspiring. with the right supports your child will thrive and make positive progress. always focus on the abilities your child has and look forward to the new skills he will surely develope in the future.
