This is a respectful place to be. I like to see new videos from ASD Rocks. I have just been diagnosed with ASD 1, with Cluster C personality traits, including features of OCD and ADD. I was also born with Cerebral Palsy, and I have mild cognitive delay in spatial and sensory processing. I was able to achieve some good things because I can appear like I've overcome difficulties. Such things as being uncomfortably shy. I have a passion for understanding why people think and behave as they do, so I can help children in library, choosing books and reading them together. My life has been full and enjoyable, but a diagnosis of Neuro-divergence means there is support for things I don't always ask for help with. A good example of this is that it sometimes takes me a bit longer than others to figure something out, such as shoelaces or the right change at the cash register. It's nice to know that we understand why this is now. I admire the close and loving relationships you have in your family. Thank you for ASD Rocks. This channel is a great place for teaching people about Autism and family life, and I believe you are bringing something good into the world

People can be so quick to judge sometimes. I’ve been following ASD rocks a couple of years and it’s clear to me that Beau is highly intelligent and far from stupid. My great nephew has autism and your channel is incredibly helpful for me. Keep rocking !

That's right! I can tell (from here) he's FAR from stupid!

It annoys me that people judge the things this young man can do, or what he understands. Beau is Beau. There are videos of your son, where he has created something, or he is in free play. He is Beau, and his mind is very busy. That's the only thing I notice. It's not okay to label a person or assume what they do or don't know, based on a diagnosis. I bet that your son is a very good friend to have. He has a gentle personality, and he knows detailed information about many things. These are qualities we can see in a video. Maybe these are the only things we can know for sure about a person. Please let's have no more judging on this page
