These boys were born to the right mom that is for sure. She is so loving and patient.

[@MsAnneThrope]

Taking care of typical children is hard enough! She’s remarkably patient, loving, and supportive and is dealing with their unique challenges in a beautiful way. I’m so impressed and I wish the whole family the best.

[@zoebowler5664]

What an amazing mature young man the oldest son is. The mother is amazing! If only all mothers are so selfless ❤

[@magnus1001]

I saw the film where they are older, too. Great, patient Mom and a lovely family.

[@alisonwilson632]

I'd love to see the one where there older, is there a link for that please?

[@magnus1001]

@@alisonwilson632 I saw it awhile ago. There is a series called 'Real Families' on KZbin and it was on there I believe.

I’ve seen her documentary when the boys are quite a bit older, 19 to 21 and aging out of educational services, and it is remarkable how much Kim aged in those years. She’s still feisty and absolutely devoted to her boys, but she looked tired and resigned. She didn’t have a safety net or respite care. She didn’t have a lot of optimism for the future; it was always just going to be her caring for her boys until the day she dies. She was obviously worried about the future, but didn’t think she had options. I’ve always liked her and hope she and her boys are happy and well.

Whats it called

[@psychicrenegade]

I can relate to that. I also have three autistic kids, and I know at least two of them will most likely need to live with me forever. If something ever happens to me and my husband...their big sister will "inherit" them. She has two kids with autism herself, so she would be a great backup caregiver for her younger siblings, if it ever came to that.

[@psychicrenegade]

[@sarahs.7211]

​@@psychicrenegade I don't know your situation, but I'd be very resentful if my parents died and left the care of their autistic children entirely to me.

Her attitude and love for her kids is amazing. The eldest is amazing too. Bless them all

[@hannahchauhan6492]

I loved this. Having two children of my own the same, I get down often thinking of thier future. She's right, just dont stress and be blessed! What a great mum.

[@Wildernessadventuresoz]

Epitome of what it means to parent. Yes it’s hard work but they are worth every ounce of it.

[@ont.cobbles]

She's got such a heart of gold! I wish there was a more recent update. Even the "update" video is quite a few years old now. I hope Kim is able to do some things that she enjoys doing and take some time for herself. She deserves it.

[@heathertodd3341]

There is another video I just watched it.

[@ont.cobbles]

@@heathertodd3341 Yes, as I mentioned above even the "update" video is quite a few years old now.

Seen this afew years ago. Im in Australia and i have 3 kids our middle child she has autism more like the oldest boy but the pandemic was brutal for her as she literally didn't leave the house for over 2 years!!! In that time she became an adult and its been a roller coaster. I think kim is a saint.

Kim is a sweetheart x

So nice 🥰

[@psychicrenegade]

I also have three autistic kids. Only my oldest did not have enough difficulties with her autistic traits, to actually be diagnosed as autistic. So my three younger kids...two girls and my baby boy...all have varying levels of autism/adhd. The girls both have IEPs in school, and my baby boy is homeschooled because the school couldn't handle his speech disorders and behaviors (he would just leave the classroom and wander off when he got bored! 😂) But he's also super smart, and skipped two grades, because he taught himself to read at a 3rd grade level by the time he was 4 years old. Autism has it's gifts, and it's challenges...but I love my kifs exactly as they are, and I wouldn't change them for the world. I believe that special needs make these kids even more lovable, and the love they give you in return is beautiful. ❤️ My autistic kids are still relatively young...16, 14, and 11 years old...but I would LOVE to meet this superhero mom! We need to be friends!

[@chantalsscaleisafibber]

Those boys have an incredible mom. I have seen a documentary showing the boys a few years older than they are in this documentary. The young men now don't get along with eachother.

[@veronikahellsnova7510]

[@WooWoo-co4jf]

Is there an update on this family? I just looked it up and the video I saw said it was 12 years ago and they were already were teenagers I think.

[@chantalsscaleisafibber]

Yes there's an update where the boys now young men are out of the education system and how she has continued to raise her son's.

it amazes me how people don't do genetic counseling. After one, stop having kids.

[@katswart1302]

If you actually listened properly you'd have heard they were diagnosed at the same time.

[@paulinejulien9191]

I’m autistic too and what I’m hearing from your comment is we don’t deserve to live. I think you should think twice before saying things like that. We’re not broken or ‘wrong’, our brains just work differently. I think even if she’d known she’d still have had her kids, because she’s a good person. People who believe only certain people deserve to exist definitely shouldn’t have kids though.

[@rockcandyxoxo]

​​@@paulinejulien9191BIG agree. I reported them ❤

[@garycooper9207]

​@@paulinejulien9191My daughter is on Spectrum and so is her grandad. Back in old days people were labeled wrong, diagnosed mentally ill even which is sad and unfair. Neurotypical people will never understand. I don't care anymore what ignorant people think.
