So many times it’s the mums who are the ones who deal with all the scheduling, the training, the emotional issues, the appointments, etc plus daily living and often with little sleep.

[@Carrie_13]

This mother is an absolute bloody legend! She deserves to get "Mother of the year!" only.....every year! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Honestly, my first impression of her and her family is that they're gonna be okay like the boys are adorable enough. They might end up getting care or getting married. And it's just her she just seems like a positive energy. Good luck to her family.😊

Her oldest could possibly. But the youngest two boys will never be able to. They will always need care.

[@Chickinnugget748]

This is the thing with an executive functioning society that people not always but in the outside world when you go out and suffer with a mental illness are so so quick to judge about their bahaviour but never step back and think that they have hidden disabilities, going through certain life situations myself I have noticed especially children with autism etc are very loving people just that the disability masks their personality which can be really tough. I sympathise with the mother well and that she is doing great and that they're just needs to be more awareness around mental health issues and have access to where there are ways so that there are more techniques for the level of understanding in different individuals as not every1 is the same😊

You kno normal is so overrated. Being different is good. I love this calm wise mother. 2 of my boys are autistic and it can be challenging sometimes but overall its ok. If everyone was ghe same life would be boring.

[@Moxieman]

There has to be more research and more help from the government to have more resources for these families ..we have one non verbal nephew when he was born for almost a year he was absolutely seeming normal in every way I literally saw him turn off like a switch I am not a professional but I know what i saw .. but that's only speculation according to some of our doctors this woman here is more than amazing so are the boys .. please send them support in any way you can ..I myself wish we had the resources to send our guy to the special programs he would benefit from some are so private it's not covered

[@Sara88890]

Helps that she owns her home, imagine this if she was renting, and still looking after these boys. I also wonder how she will retirewhen she's not super fit and needs to calm down. I say this as an Autistic woman.

[@TheMsbs1986]

ISO understand and feel this woman as a single mom of a special needs little man! Little support doing it all by herself knowing this is going to be the rest of my life. Having friends and family turn away from us because of autism and developmental disabilities and related it's just too much for them to deal with. It's loneliness on another level and then having an autoimmune connective tissue disease makes it even harder. I'm glad that she it's loneliness on another level and then having an autoimmune connective tissue disease makes it even harder. I'm glad that she has the little support she does and hopefully she can find more of that. It is very hard when it's just you and what little people you do have can't help. The future is terrifying because if something happens to me then what happens to my son. It's not fair but it is what it is and my son is my world and the most amazing little boy! And this mother is such an amazing woman I just want to give her a hug and tell her she's doing amazing and the boys are amazing and I've improved so much from the last video.

This makes me so sad. I will never understand why after the first Autistic son they didn't have any more. And then they went ahead and had a third. What were they thinking!

[@rowanthorn4547]

For a start they may not have had diagnoses until 2 or all of them were already born, on top of that, what you're essentially saying is her children are a burden to society and shouldn't be here - this lady loves her children and is a great mother - her family is everything to her, that's more than can be said for some families with neurotypical children.

[@Grumpygremlin12345]

The Mom said that she got her tubes tied after her 3rd child and she feels so lucky she did because she didn’t know yet they were autistic and she doesn’t think she could have handled a 4th.
