Something you didn't know

Sorry, this is not about my car. But it's about my 4 yar old son Eagle.

My 17 year old daughter made this video about her brother. It's called "This is Eagle".

Eagle is a non verbal autistic boy. He doesnt communicate very well. He can immitate things, but can't really tell you in his own words. He is very smart, like most autistic children. And he loves everyone!

Here is the video. I'm very proud of my daughter for making this.
Our world wouldn't be the same without him!

I met Eagle once, he came right up and hugged me, well my legs anyway. I wasn't sure what was going on (him coming straight up to a complete stranger and hugging them) since I wasn't aware at the time until Elliot told me about him and that most of Elliot's friends scoop him up when they visit. Pretty friendly little guy.

That is a creative/cool little video, it will be nice to look back on as well many years down the road when he is older. I don't think this daughter was there or was in her room when I came, I met the older son but the rest were all little.

Very touching video, it got me all emotional.
You should be very proud of your family, and I'm sure they too are proud of you.

E - Nice job by your daughter . I have a nephew with Autism and I think his three brothers make a big difference with him making progression, and it also makes them better people too.

I don't usually get emotional about very much. But, this video really touched me and I hope you inform your daughter of the educational value this video about her brother has. I have special needs family members, but this video puts it all into perspective ("Differently Abled").

Awesome video and for such a great cause. My company always supports the autism walk up here in Palm Beach.
Eagle seems highly functional. I wish him and your family the best. Some of the most articulate and most mathematically advanced kids I have seen, are autistic.

Hey thanks a lot guys! I think she did a great job!

We love our Eagle very much! Everyone plays their part in his life. My kids are very good with helping him. He has his good days and his bad, but we've all learned to have patience with him. He is very smart but it does get hard trying to figure out what's wrong, since he can't tell you. He can mimic things, but can't speak in his own words like everyone else. So a lot of times it's a guessing game. Lol. But we've gotten pretty good at it.

Hopefully after watching this video and others, people would think twice when they see an autistic child throwing a fit in public. Maybe, just maybe, they could try to understand what that family goes through.
