CREATIVE Design and JOY for Brothers with Autism

[@jb6712]

I was glad to see they gave the oldest boy a new room. He's such a sweet older brother, and he certainly deserves that wonderful room.

[@chrisp3291]

He loves his room!

[@katiekorell9776]

Right. What a sweet brother!

[@FreezerBurn]

What a great little man

[@tommoclement]

Such a beautiful caring older brother.

[@PatrickPoet]

My favorite designer ever. I'm on the spectrum and she gets it. Sometimes designers are saying why they do this or that for the children but there is no sense that they actually understand the needs or have any intuition about what will help them grow. She got what the children needed at a deeper level than I've ever seen on any of the other shows.

[@chrisp3291]

Wendy is an amazing person, she totally got it all...we're so lucky to have met her and have her in our lives.

[@yticivam]

It's amazing how the show handles ads. I'm happy to learn about who helps the families out, and the local business and trades. Very good strategy.

[@MemestiffGaming]

Best of all, it doesn't feel overbearing. The sponsors involved are relevant pieces in the renovation and the shoutouts to the local businesses is really cool.

[@laurenreiff4735]

the designer really hit the nail on the head. She was able to recognize what not only children would want but children that are on the spectrum. I can't imagine how happy they felt to have their own area that was peaceful and made them feel welcomed to be there

[@chrisp3291]

Wendy did such an amazing job. All the kids and mom and dad love the work she did!

[@mollydeutschman9075]

Love the dads tattoo. If anyone didn’t know a “symbol” for autism is sometimes a puzzle piece and he has a whole sleeve❤️ totally embracing it

[@chrisp3291]

When this COVID thing is done it'll be time to add to the tat!

[@izabellestevens4584]

The symbol for autism actually is a rainbow infinity sign, the puzzle pieces originate from the company/charity Autism Speaks, which is an incredibly harmful group that treats autism as a disease, has links to anti-vax and "vaccines cause autism" ideologies. We autistic people do not support them, the harm they do for us, the very little good they make, the money their CEOs make that comes from donations made by the unwitting public, the fact that despite our opposition them being the most donated to 'autism' organization, and so on. We as a community of actually autistic people want OUR symbol to be seen and shared, not the symbol attached to us because of an organization that hurts us! This father has good intentions, as does most people using this symbol, who don't realize its history and impact.

[@izabellestevens4584]

please please please do not use this symbol or support Autism Speaks!

[@msuew94]

Izabelle Stevens I wish more people knew because At work they are literally doing the autism speaks fundraising right now, and usually it’s made into some sort of competition sadly... all the information we were given was that they help kids with autism through activities and awareness... thank you so much for informing people to dig deeper

[@cbjgirl23]

@@izabellestevens4584 thank you for explaining this so wonderfully! as someone on the spectrum i feel so strong feelings against the puzzle piece because of auti$m $peaks crap

[@emilywiebel3238]

When the dad chocked up when George first got their just shows how appreciative he is. My fav part of their episodes is just seeing how excited the families are when they get emotional seeing the final results bc you just see how their lives have completely changed in that moment. I also loved how the dad and the oldest son got to have some time together at the stadium. He’s such a good kid and amazing big brother and I’m sure he doesn’t get much time just him and his parents so that was so cool that they did that for him!

[@chrisp3291]

The new spaces still amaze us all, helping us being stuck inside the house during this crazy pandemic. The experience at the Stadium was top memory for James and myself so thankful for the whole experience but the day at the Stadium was the icing on the cake!

[@chrisp3291]

So thankful for our rescue. Life has been hectic and I've been meaning to post a comment for quite some time. Now we're all dealing with a world wide pandemic. The extra spaces have been and continue to be so beneficial for our family. We are all doing well. We're lucky for all the people that came and helped and continued on to become wonderful friends. Please stay safe, stay home! Thank you again George to the Rescue!

[@velvetplatz1024]

What a wonderful family you have... I'm glad to see that their all doing well. Much love from British Columbia, Canada.

[@annettecain5613]

❤

[@SandiByrd]

I want to hug that older brother. What a great kid.

[@UnsolicitedThoughtsOfARose]

Amazing designer. Often times people not on the spectrum do not understand what we need and they question it. She understood the children’s needs and provided lots of stimulation. Made me do happy arm flaps at the end.

[@chrisp3291]

Wendy is awesome...she really became so evolved with our family. We love her so much and I'm sure the feeling is mutual...so thankful for her dedication...she has been on other rescues as well!

[@ElizabethT45]

Well geez, this one made me tear up. James is one strong, capable young man, and his parents know he's the 'third adult' and still make sure to have one-on-one time with him. He definitely deserved that amazing room makeover! I also loved the look on their 2 year old daughter's face when she was in the ball pit with James. They seem like a family that will do okay :)

[@chrisp3291]

We're doing ok even during these trying times. The spaces help so much especially when we are stuck inside. James has and continues to be a great big brother and little sister following in his footsteps.

[@kristinamullins4636]

The oldest boy has the heart ❤️ of gold.

[@vilmacarmona7780]

Best design to date. The designer really went above and beyond. Great job !!

[@chrisp3291]

Wendy's work is a true skill she totally nailed it. All the spaces are totally awesome. Blessed to have met her and have her as a friend.

[@charliem.7492]

George To The Rescue, thank you so very much for what you do for people. NO matter What they are going through. This touched my heart more then the others because I have three special needs children. My oldest, who will be 30 soon, has severe diabetes and a mental age of about 15, My middle son who will be 28, has Asperger's Autism, and my youngest who's 24 and has a severe form of Mommy Syndrome, which is a severe case of Separation Anxiety. Raising them alone was tough and extremely challenging. I still have my middle son and my youngest son that lives with me and we are trying to get a loan to buy a new home, as the home we used to have was not disclosed to us by my real estate agent that it was a meth house. We were getting sick and lost 12 medical companion animals in 7 years due to the house. I let it go into foreclosure, and now, after 6 years, we are trying for a new home. One where we can live healthy and safe. So on behalf of a Mother with special needs children, Thank you for what you do for so many people! May the Lord continue to bless you and your company, and your family, in all you do.

[@alisonshanahan9529]

Love Dad's shirt! This is a great renovation, the boys were very happy with both the bedroom and the sensory room. Doing the Yankees room for the eldest son was wonderful, he's not going to grow out of it and it's a great reward.

[@chrisp3291]

My dream is to move into his room some day...lol...got the shirt from RSVLTS

[@jennyvasquez7618]

Me identifico con estos padres, tengo dos niños con autismo (leve y moderado) que aunque sus limitaciones son menos y más tratables vivimos en un país sub desarrollado y el acceso a las terapias para aquellos que estamos por debajo de los ingresos de salario mínimo es imposible. Gracias a KZbin por vídeos y tutoriales para hacer materiales terapéuticos con reciclaje.

[@jeanninederoma2364]

I thought i saw every video and surprise i never saw that one. It is a beauty. Wonderful job for wonderful people.

[@S0FTVIBE910]

The boys deserve that beautiful rooms 😍

[@chrisp3291]

They continue to work hard and their news spaces help so much during this crazy pandemic.

[@hyperkiki17]

You raised an amazing boy, James is blessed

[@chrisp3291]

He continues to be such a big help acting as a 3rd adult and never complaining.

[@ab-xs1ss]

I genuinely hope that elder kid is going to achieve lot fo things in his life along with taking care of his family....

[@chrisp3291]

Currently James is doing well in school and still playing baseball. He remains a wonderful big brother to his siblings!

[@lowesonia8551]

Tears like daddy ,what lovely 3 parents. Superb, talented, knowledgable ,designer. They are going to be so happy in their world

[@chrisp3291]

Even stuck inside with crazy pandemic we're so happy, new spaces certainly help as well as all the new friends.

[@ivykaneshiro7554]

At the beginning of the rainbow, my heart is in pain...pain for what the family goes through..and they sacrificed for all the ups and down. Then at the end of the rainbow they are rescued by outstanding hearts and soles to make this family SMILE...a priceless heartwarming kindness and compassion that knowing this family can breathe painlessly. George to the rescue and all hands on deck did an amazingly greatnesses of LOVE. We all are crying for JOY and HAPPINESS.......good luck FAMILY.....

[@georgerpeterson5284]

[@chrisp3291]

I avoid the news, but watch once a week to catch up and never any good news. This show comes on and brings me to tears 95% of the time...tears of joy!

[@rubberdc]

I thought it was interesting that the street they live on has a sign indicating that it is an autistic children are , we dont have that in the UK, I doubt it would work here , but i like the idea of it .

[@lowesonia8551]

from documentaries I have seen Too many badly educated children that gang up and make life hell, for other children not like them. UK. Has changed so much over 70 years. Far too many ado. Criminals with knives. Who do not need a reason to stab. I am an English Lady of 80 I have the privilege of living in a lovely safe ,part of France.

What a beautiful family! The oldest seems to have a few aspie traits as well. Avoiding eye contact, fidgeting, toned down emotional reactions. As an aspie it's inspiring to see him acting as the emotional rock in this family.

[@thegrinch8161]

My granda on my mums side was always saying that the things used in the USA now will end up being used in the U.K. about 10 to 20 years later and before my ruined hands made it impossible for me to paint and decorate any loo was starting to see the fantastic innovations start to leak through.i know that like every innovation will have its detractors and some will resist change but not every innovation is bad so applaud the fantastic inventions for making them

[@shawnsisler3743]

I find it sad that you had to turn the comments off on the Sept 27, Mom with breast cancer episode. I know you probably had to due to people being rude because they were "offended" that mom peaked and brought up issues with some of the plans, but she was right and you and the crew admitted it. Thank you for being good to her, I lost a beloved aunt to the same type of cancer and you were kind and accepting of this woman. Thank you. Sorry I had to comment here. This episode was precious too, the family is so sweet and the kids really love your work, you can see it.

[@evelynmulvey4180]

I feel like James's room should have been sports themed instead of just baseball because he likes other sports, too. I still love how it turned out tho💜

....just a comment. Many autistic children do not manage a lot of colour and design in their environments. It can be over-stimulating for them. Hope this goes well for the family anyway!
