A 6 Year Old Who Has Broken 74 Bones (She's 28 Inches Tall)

Autumn is 28 inches tall and has broken 74 bones at 6 years old due to a rare condition known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type VIII. She struggles to find friends and shares, "Some people don't let me play because of the way I am." Instead, she usually rides in her wheelchair up and down the ramp alone at recess. Autumn wants others to know that if you want to be her friend you just have to be nice.

I'm often asked, "What can I do to help SBSK?" Honestly, the best thing you can do is just be nice to people. Make friendships with those around you. That's the purpose of these interviews. There are kids and adults who feel the same as Autumn all across the world. Some are disabled, some are nondisabled. I hope these videos show that taking the time to be a kind person to others can make a world of difference.

Autum, I had a friend who was born with Osteogenesis imperfecta. She was adorable just like you are. I was so lucky to get to carry my friend Sally around and she and I would laugh and laugh being silly. When she grew up she eventually learned to walk with crutches. Then she learned to drive a car and after getting a college degree she got a job and moved into her own apartment. As she got older,, her bones became less fragile so she had less to fear. I hope you find good friends. Stay silly You will find silly friends that way.

[@Moonbunny55]

Her classmates need to understand how to play with her which means the teachers need to be a part of teaching social skills when it comes to those who appear different from themselves. Friendships are built on common ground. 6 year olds need prompting and understanding how to make a friends. My impression from this video is that Autumn is left to letting friendships happen vs guiding her and her classmates to create friendships. Autumn is the sweetest little girl and I wish her the best. I can see where she’d fear the world considering how her bones fracture so easily. Despite her challenges she’s got what it takes to grow up and be a happy adult, her parents will make sure of it ❤

[@pennyp7382]

Same thing I was thinking. My 6 and 5 year olds will play with any kid. They are watching with me and were saying that would be so fun to be pulled over by Cop Autum. ❤

[@aziz9921]

thinking the same thing - some parents talk to the class themselves. kids need to know what's going on and how they can help participate or play

[@jessicalawton1]

I agree 100%. Especially at that age, adults need to help facilitate play. My son is 5 and autistic and it makes me sad when other little kids don't want to play with him. So, I always try and help him make friends 😊

[@mawmawmakeup3602]

Yesss I was just saying this in my comment on this video! I am a mom to a special needs child myself. She is 6 on November 11th and in senior kindergarden. She has autism. Although she is verbal. She lacks normal social skills and has a hard time keeping conversation going. Etc. I WISH that the teachers would take the opportunity when my child is absent for appntmnts to have an age appropriate conversation where they could let the kids know what's going on with my daughter and that she needs to be invited in and needs extra help sometimes etc. Maybe the kids could ask questions any of them have about her. Last year the kids in my daughter's class would sometimes ask me about her. And I didn't take offense to it. I would answer their questions with a smile no matter what they were.. a few of them told me she's really cute. And that they love her. She would come home with pictures drawn for her by classmates. And this year I don't know what happened... same teacher. Some of the same students... but she's just getting bullied this year. It hurts my heart.

[@Moonbunny55]

@@mawmawmakeup3602 Oh no!! She’s getting bullied? 🥲. That’s definitely a symptom of ignorance on the other children’s part. That’s what I’m talking about. At that age the bullying behavior could be an attempt to understand. They need guidance! That breaks my heart because it doesn’t have to be that way. In my opinion, children with challenges like autism and other developmental disorders need their own environment where they can make friends and learn social skills alongside curriculum. There used to be services like that in schools but nowadays children with disabilities are expected to learn alongside non challenged children without the proper resources in place. Where I live there’s an elementary through HS age school that’s focuses on education for those with autism and other disabilities. It’s huge as well as successful and there’s two others that will be fully operational soon. There’s a huge need and I hope that we’ll see more in every state. In the meantime parents will have to advocate for their children even if that means going in a ruffling some feathers to kick things in gear. These children and their families deal with enough.

[@summrflowers7253]

She's such a sweet little doll. It is always so heartbreaking to hear them say they don't have friends or don't have someone at school to play with. I feel very strongly that school staff should get involved and encourage other students to befriend and include those who are different in some way. Explain to them that although maybe she can't run around to play she can still be involved on so many other levels. She can sit with friends to read, color or do puzzles for example... or even just talk.

[@dreamwishergirl]

I work in the school system. It’s not usually the school staff-it’s the parents of the “normal” kids not setting a good example to befriend those that may be a little different and/or probably their parents make fun of people that are different behind closed doors so the kids pick up on it.

I wish she had more ways to get involved at recess. Maybe a bubble maker? Or a little speaker so she could be the dj? Something to draw kids in while keeping her safe

Autumn you are a beautiful old soul!!! I love you so much! Your wisdom and intelligence blows me away!! How blessed you are to have such amazing parents!!

[@prungojumpty]

I love the unbridled joy Chris brings to some of the children featured on SBSK. It’s already hard growing up and feeling different when you are able bodied, but so many of us have it a lot better than we know. Thank you, Chris 🧡

What a beautiful child! I have no doubt she will have many friends throughout her life. I could not resist laughing when she laughed and I was taken in by her funny, silly, charming personality! She is blessed with many gifts to take on these challenges as well as having the love and support of a strong, loving family. May God bless them all on her journey into adulthood.

[@christopherespinoza-darnel8514]

Is this a serious question? Other kids is who... Kids tend to not know how words affect other people and they also don't understand emotional consequences or intelligence. Kids are always the cruelest but they don't know any better and that's why we as adults & parents teach them to be better.

Sadly, many people including older teens, young adults, and supposedly mature adults.

Kids don't understand the same way adults do.

You would be surprised, I use to take care of a disabled child who was a literally Angel and the looks some adults gave him broke my heart.

You are such a light in this world, Autumn! Keep shining!!

It’s so cute how they’re all wearing matching outfits

I have been watching for years and years and Autumn is 100% my favorite person you have interviewed. She stole my heart. Autumn’s parents, if you see this, PLEASE tell Autumn how sweet, precious, SMART, funny, strong she is. When she gets older and the other kids catch up to where she is maturity wise, it will be easier to connect with people and find her place socially. let her know how LOVED she is by so many of us around the world. And please let me send baby girl a kitchen set!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
