    Hey Taylor,
    thank you so much for sharing your world. My 3 year old son has recently been diagnosed with autism. This video is such a relief for me to watch and realize everything is going to be O.K. I’ve struggled very hard with his father to accept it. He allowed him to watch television late at night and gave him milk to fall asleep. He didn’t want to hear about gluten and casein free diet and no TV. when TV is on he is like hypnotised. It’s been only a week with no diaries, no sweets and no wheat and he falls asleep at 8.30 p.m. not asking (one of very few words he knows) for a bottle of milk. I’m so proud that I insisted in this and even his father agrees he is more calm now.
    Regards from Slovenia, Europe.

    I think it is very nice of you to publish your story on line. I am also a person with Autism/Aspergers, and it’s good to know that I am not alone in the world.

    Thank you,
    Brett

    Hello Taylor,

    I found your video while looking for information on autism. My godson of 3 and a half cannot speak and does not make eye contact. All the other symptoms his has point to a type of autism. Unfortunately his parents do not want to admit this and thus deprive their child of the help I think he needs. I liked your video and I’m happy for your success, although you do look kind of arrogant (kidding). It is really amazing you can do so many things andI feel that you have had exceptional help from your parents and family. This was as much your struggle for succeeding as it was for your parents and family. I also sense you are exceptionally intelligent and so I don’t feel you represent the usual case, like you admit in your video. The problem is that most autistic people get very little, if any, of the help and care you have. I feel responsible for helping this child and I don’t know what to do to help him. The only thing I can do now is get into direct confrontation with his parents with the risk of causing a rift between us. It’s hard for me to help the child in any way. I’m 26 and in an important point in my carreer and I will not have much time to see him in this crucial part of his life as I live abroad. I am at a loss really.
