00:00Here in the US, autism diagnosis has exploded by around 500% in just a generation, and it sparked
00:12furious debate over everything from what might cause autism to how autistic people are treated
00:17in society. If you go back 25 years ago, you had very little autism. Now you have it. It's pretty
00:23scary. Autism is not a disease. It's not something you catch, and it's not something you cure. Autism
00:31destroys families, and more importantly, it destroys our greatest resource, which are our
00:36children. At the center of this debate is the health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who says
00:43controversially that he's going to end what he's calling the autism epidemic. Well, I've come here
00:49to see what's driving the autism debate, and meet the families and people living it.
01:06Hello. Hello. Hi. I'm Eileen. I'm Janice. Nice to finally meet you. This is Eileen Lamb and
01:13her two youngest kids, Jude and little Billy. Hello. Did you say dumpling? Yes, I did.
01:19Eileen's oldest son, Charlie, is also here, playing in the backyard.
01:28I have three children. Two of them are on the spectrum. My oldest son, Charlie, is 12. He has
01:38what's known as level 3 autism, severe. My son, Jude, is 10 now, and he has what's called
01:56level 1 autism, which is the mildest.
02:03And then there's me. Ten years ago now, I was diagnosed with high functioning autism.
02:09Autism looks different for everyone, and I think you'll see this looking at our life.
02:16I love seeing all the soccer cards. It's quite a collection. As I get to know Jude and his
02:32hobbies, that's super cool. Charlie wants my attention. Oh, yeah. A one of one. Sorry, Jude.
02:39Where are you taking me, Charlie? Autism is a disability. What do you want, Charlie?
02:48You know, it's almost 30% of people on the spectrum have profound autism, so they're like Charlie.
02:55Like Charlie.
03:00Try and, you try and tell me what you want, Charlie.
03:04Oh, okay. You're going to use this.
03:07I want more chips.
03:09You want more chips?
03:11Okay.
03:13Chips would make you happy?
03:16Yeah?
03:18Obviously, Charlie's non-verbal, but he's communicating with me very clearly through touch,
03:24and through his screen, it's pretty obvious what he wants.
03:29I want pizza.
03:31Okay. He wants pizza now, which is amazing.
03:34You've moved on from the chips, Charlie. You've changed your mind.
03:37Okay.
03:39I want pizza.
03:42Aha.
03:44I plate.
03:46Before his AAC device, he was screaming hundreds of times an hour,
03:53because he had no way of communicating his needs.
03:57Open.
03:59It's so important. I mean, it's his voice.
04:01Charlie's communication device is a core component of his ABA therapy.
04:07I want water.
04:08Water.
04:10Applied behavior analysis aims to teach essential life skills, social skills, and increase positive behavior.
04:18Critics say it forces people with autism to fit into a neurotypical world.
04:24Charlie, what's this?
04:25What's this?
04:26Eileen says it's given Charlie something he's never had before.
04:31A voice.
04:32That is a mirror.
04:33Look at yourself.
04:35Okay, so this is Charlie's room, and this is the biggest safety thing in our house.
04:41This is called a safety bed.
04:44And the way it works is that we basically just zip Charlie in at night like this.
04:50And he can't escape from the bed, which is great, because I don't have to worry about him eating non-edible items.
05:00And I'm really thankful for it.
05:05There was a time he used to, like, peel off the drywall, and he would eat the drywall.
05:11Charlie has a condition called pica, an urge to put non-edible things in his mouth.
05:18When Charlie's pica was at his worst, every 90 seconds he would put an item in his mouth, a non-edible item in his mouth.
05:26And so they, we did the endoscopy and colonoscopy, they found the screw.
05:33And there were also a bunch of rubber bands and other things in his stomach at the time.
05:38Oh my gosh.
05:40ABA therapy has also helped Charlie manage his pica.
05:45For Jude, who has Level 1 or mild autism, his needs are quite different.
05:50This is my room.
05:53Chest medals.
05:55Two first.
05:57That's very impressive.
05:58Three silvers.
06:00What do you reckon?
06:01Shall we have a game?
06:02Yeah.
06:03Okay.
06:04I don't have any chest medals, okay?
06:06Oh.
06:07Okay.
06:08Let's see.
06:09Let's see.
06:10Go.
06:11Do, ru, ru, ru.
06:12Do, ru.
06:13Do, ru.
06:14Do.
06:15Do, do, do, do,.
06:16Protect.
06:17Oh-oh.
06:18Oh-oh!
06:19Uh-oh!
06:20Yes!
06:22What do you mean check!
06:24I don't know!
06:26Jude, can you tell me about your autism?
06:31How do people know you have it?
06:33They don't.
06:34They have to tell them…
06:36I tell them it doesn't really affect me at all.
06:41Sometimes it makes me better at things.
06:44How is your autism different to Charlie's?
06:48I can play soccer, I can talk,
06:53but Charlie has to get ABA therapy
06:59and he needs help with most of the things.
07:03So Charlie's your big brother?
07:05Big brother, yeah.
07:07I'm his big brother.
07:09You feel like the roles are reversed?
07:13Kind of, yeah.
07:15If there was just one magic pill
07:18that would make autism disappear,
07:21who do you think should take it?
07:23Charlie.
07:24Uh-huh.
07:25Not me.
07:25You say that autism is a disability.
07:36You've given it that label.
07:38Others disagree.
07:39They're really offended by that label.
07:42Well, first of all, they can be offended all they want.
07:44Autism is a disability.
07:46But people will say that autism is only a disability
07:51because of society.
07:53And the way I see this is that
07:55Charlie, even in the most accepting society,
08:00you know, if everything was meant for autistic people around him,
08:04he would still swallow screws.
08:07He would still run in front of cars.
08:09There is no making society safe for Charlie.
08:18Arlene's documented her life
08:20as the mother of two autistic children
08:22on social media and a blog.
08:24I try to keep it balanced
08:26because, you know, as hard as this life is,
08:29I also want people to know that there is hope
08:31and there is still beauty to be found
08:34in those difficult moments.
08:36But it doesn't mean that it's easy.
08:39And, you know, I think it's really important
08:41that people realise how hard it can be.
08:46What sort of price have you paid for being honest?
08:50The price of death threats
08:52and social media harassment, I will say.
08:54Death threats?
08:55Oh, yeah.
08:57These are some of the comments Eileen has received
09:00after sharing her story online.
09:05Yeah, it's pretty nasty out there
09:07and it's not a one-off.
09:08It's, uh, it's common.
09:10I'm not going to stop fighting against APA therapy
09:12as an autistic person.
09:13Do you know why?
09:14Because it's abuse.
09:16Please don't light it up with this April.
09:17This is what's come to be known as the autism wars.
09:21A major lack of autism.
09:22Like, you are born autistic
09:24and you're autistic your whole life
09:26and you die autistic.
09:28That's how the f*** it works.
09:30What's not controversial would be an easier question.
09:33Everything is controversial
09:35in the autism community.
09:37Um, from, uh, symbols and terminology
09:40to what organisations to support,
09:43what therapy to, um, have for your child.
09:46And then you have, uh, controversy
09:48around the cause of autism.
09:51You know, some people believe it's, uh,
09:53it's vaccines
09:54and some, uh, people believe science,
09:59which says that it's, uh, it's genetic.
10:02Claims that vaccines cause autism
10:04are back in the spotlight.
10:07Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
10:09has hired noted vaccine sceptic David Geyer
10:12to head a study into a fringe theory
10:14that environmental toxins, including vaccines,
10:17are underpinning the rise in autism diagnoses.
10:21Vaccines do not cause autism.
10:27Do you agree with that?
10:29As I said, I'm not going to go into HHS
10:32with any preordained...
10:33I ask you a simple question, Bobby.
10:36Studies all over the world say it does not.
10:38What do you think?
10:39Senator, if you show me those studies,
10:42I will absolutely,
10:43as I promised to Chairman Cassidy,
10:45I will apologize.
10:46That is a very troubling response
10:48because the studies are there.
10:51Last week, President Trump said
10:53the use of Tylenol,
10:54a medication also known as paracetamol,
10:57during pregnancy,
10:58increases the risk of autism.
11:00I want to say it like it is.
11:02Don't take Tylenol.
11:04Don't take it.
11:05You shouldn't take it.
11:06And you shouldn't take it
11:07during the entire pregnancy.
11:09Global medicine regulators
11:10refute these claims,
11:12saying they're not backed
11:14by scientific evidence.
11:15But Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again movement,
11:20known as MAHA,
11:22is on a mission
11:23to tackle chronic disease.
11:25He's already dismantling
11:27established public health policies
11:29and slashing critical research funding.
11:35On the front lines of this battle
11:37is an army of supporters
11:38who see RFK Jr.
11:40is they want not.
11:44Hi.
11:45Hi, Tracy.
11:46I'm Janice.
11:47Nice to meet you.
11:48Nice to meet you.
11:49Make America Healthy Again
11:50is about the people.
11:51Really diving in
11:52to live a healthier lifestyle.
11:54Exposing what's going on.
11:57So I want parents
11:58to stop being lied to.
12:00I want people in general,
12:02across the board,
12:03in the whole world,
12:04to stop being lied to.
12:05So over here,
12:07we have red light therapy.
12:10Tracy has a deep distrust
12:12of centralised authority in medicine,
12:15especially big pharma
12:16and big food industries.
12:18Is it like any tingling or anything?
12:21No.
12:22My head feels warm.
12:23When her son Noah
12:24was diagnosed with autism in 2006,
12:27she embraced alternative medicine.
12:30Gosh, it's like a chemistry lab in here.
12:32I know.
12:33And over here,
12:36I have my supplement cabinet.
12:38I probably wouldn't have this cabinet
12:40in my kitchen
12:40if it wasn't for Noah.
12:42Tracy has written a book
12:43called Warrior Mom,
12:45a mother's journey
12:46in healing her son with autism.
12:48Her focus for this journey
12:50has been alternative treatments.
12:53Hyperbarics was big.
12:55Supplementation,
12:55because he needed it.
12:56From that,
12:57he started to get some colour back
12:59in his face.
13:00We did no gluten,
13:03no dairy,
13:03no soy,
13:05no yeast,
13:06and no sugar
13:07for at least over a year.
13:09We took him to Ukraine
13:11for stem cell therapy
13:12when he was seven years old.
13:14You can do a nasal insufflation.
13:16You can do a rectal insufflation.
13:19So to be really clear,
13:21this goes inside people.
13:25Yeah, so this,
13:26there's different attachments.
13:28Tracy's autistic son Noah
13:30is now an adult,
13:31but she continues to work
13:33with other parents
13:34seeking alternative therapies,
13:36like Jess,
13:37who has four children
13:38with autism.
13:39in regards to,
13:41you know,
13:41what their issues are,
13:42what their underlying conditions are.
13:44They've written up a plan for you.
13:49Thatcher!
13:49This way, Thatcher!
13:50Today, they're visiting
13:51a functional medical practitioner.
13:53Let's go see Miss Dawn.
13:55You want to go see Miss Dawn?
13:56Hello!
13:57Hello!
13:59Hi, Thatcher.
14:00Emma, hello.
14:03Here we go,
14:04a little cold.
14:05Good girl.
14:06So just explain to me
14:14how it's working.
14:16It's using acoustic sound waves.
14:19Good girl, good girl.
14:20And just like with a submarine,
14:22they pulse out the sounds
14:24and then when it hits
14:25an obstruction
14:26or when this hits inflammation,
14:29it breaks it down
14:30and sends a message
14:30back to the submarine.
14:32So basically what it's doing
14:33is it's getting rid of inflammation.
14:35And how does this help
14:36children with autism?
14:40Autism, I believe,
14:42is a lot of the symptoms
14:43that the children are having.
14:45A lot of them have constipation.
14:48They have the inability
14:50to stay focused.
14:51I think a lot of that is
14:52in relation to the inflammation.
14:55So the treatments that Dawn
14:58has helped me facilitate
14:59are recommending that
15:01I get them out in the sun
15:02as much as possible
15:03because of the links
15:04with vitamin D.
15:06You put your autistic kid
15:09in the sun and...
15:10Yes.
15:11Vitamin D all day.
15:12Started reversing it.
15:14Gentle detoxes,
15:16parasite cleanse,
15:17heavy metal detox
15:18and then this machine.
15:20I will have to say
15:22that the heavy metal detox
15:23and this machine
15:24have been astronomical
15:25in my results.
15:29I'm starting to get
15:30their personalities.
15:31All right, Alex!
15:32You're listening!
15:34You're listening!
15:36It's made him more agreeable.
15:39Like, you can rationalise with him.
15:41Your belly...
15:42Doctors warn these types
15:44of treatments are unproven
15:46and can be dangerous.
15:48But Tracey's faith in them
15:50is unwavering.
15:52So why did you seek out
15:54those sorts of
15:55alternative treatments
15:56rather than go down
15:58a more conventional path?
15:59Because to me,
16:00I know deep down
16:03that God didn't make a mistake.
16:06So what do you think
16:08caused autism in Noah?
16:11I honestly don't believe
16:12that children in general
16:14are born with autism.
16:15I believe that they're born
16:17with pre-genetic dispositions
16:19that can expose them
16:20to environmental toxins
16:23causing a reaction
16:24or a regression.
16:26So unfortunately,
16:28the pre-genetics, I believe,
16:31are the loaded gun
16:32and the vaccines
16:34pull the trigger.
16:36You'd be well aware
16:37that the established
16:38medical community
16:39says that this is
16:40a heritable illness.
16:42It's something
16:43that you're born with.
16:44So if that's the case,
16:45how come when I was a child
16:47nobody had autism?
16:48That autism was
16:49one in 10,000.
16:51Medical practitioners
16:52would say that
16:54the diagnosis has changed
16:57and some of the symptoms
16:58that they may have dismissed
17:01or missed in the past
17:02are now included.
17:03They're saying the numbers
17:04are actually around
17:05about the same.
17:06That's not true.
17:07A lot of medical professionals
17:09will say there's little
17:10or no evidence
17:12that some of the
17:12alternative therapies
17:14that you're promoting
17:15and have used
17:16work in terms of autism
17:18and they label this stuff
17:20snake oil.
17:22How do you respond to that?
17:24Well, that's because
17:26they don't know anything about it
17:27and that's because
17:28they're bought and paid for
17:29by big pharma.
17:32Tracy's view
17:33is at direct odds
17:34with what established science
17:36tells us about autism.
17:38But, along with husband Steve
17:41she's winning praise
17:42from the most powerful
17:43public health official
17:45in the US.
17:47And I especially want to thank
17:48Tracy and Steve Slipsvik
17:50whom I consider dear friends
17:52who have given their lives
17:54in service to the autistic
17:56and their families.
17:59Their son Noah
18:00who has autism
18:01has been at the centre
18:03of their activism
18:04for alternative therapies
18:05his whole life.
18:07Whoa!
18:08It's like a Muppet Palace
18:10in here!
18:11Yeah.
18:12I would call it
18:13like a hyperfixation.
18:15But he very much
18:16has his own take on it.
18:18I love my mom
18:20but like
18:20I do wish
18:21that sometimes
18:22she would like
18:24kind of just
18:26at least acknowledge
18:30that I don't agree
18:32with everything
18:33she stands for
18:33especially when
18:34she teams up with
18:35at least from
18:36like my own perspective
18:37really shitty people
18:39who have caused
18:41a lot of harm
18:42to the autistic community
18:43especially with
18:44like a lot of
18:45misinformation being spread.
18:47I see.
18:47What do you think
18:48is motivating that?
18:51She's basically
18:51in this like
18:51echo chamber
18:53of you know
18:53a bunch of like
18:54right wing
18:54people you know
18:56like talking
18:58you know
18:58like about like
18:59oh we need to
19:01stop the vaccines
19:02and all of a sudden
19:02it's like
19:03it really makes me sick
19:05to my stomach.
19:07Especially when
19:07like she teams up
19:08with people like RFK
19:09who I like
19:10I intensely dislike.
19:12Were you aware
19:13of his recent comments
19:15that got a lot
19:16of traction
19:16where he said
19:17that autism
19:18is destroying families?
19:20Autism
19:21destroys families
19:23and more importantly
19:25it destroys
19:25our greatest resource
19:26which are our children.
19:28These are kids
19:29who will
19:29never pay taxes.
19:32They'll never
19:32hold a job.
19:34They'll never
19:35play baseball.
19:37They'll never
19:37write a poem.
19:39They'll never
19:39go out on a date.
19:41Yeah
19:41no that's
19:42that's bullshit.
19:43I'm sorry.
19:44Actually no I'm not sorry
19:45that is just bullshit
19:46because
19:47imagine like
19:48you're an autistic
19:49like child
19:50hearing this
19:52saying that
19:52your existence
19:53is destroying
19:54like your family.
19:57My child
19:57that feels
19:58and you know
20:01like I
20:01I have a boyfriend
20:02so
20:03but if you're
20:05knowing RFK
20:06he's probably
20:06just gonna
20:07you know
20:07if it were
20:09in fact
20:09he knew my mom
20:10he probably
20:10would just look
20:11at me
20:11and just
20:11think of a slur
20:12so
20:13yeah.
20:16So
20:17Noah
20:18he can believe
20:19what he wants
20:20that's his right
20:21I absolutely
20:22love him.
20:24Tracy
20:24do you ever
20:25wonder
20:26and worry
20:27like your son
20:28does
20:28that some
20:29of the stuff
20:29you're promoting
20:30is giving
20:31autistic people
20:32and their families
20:33false hope?
20:34No I don't
20:35I think it's
20:36giving them hope
20:37and if they
20:38choose to take
20:39it as false hope
20:40that's their choice
20:41and what Noah
20:42chooses to do
20:43with his life
20:43he's a choice
20:45and I pray
20:46for him.
20:47At the front
20:51lines of
20:51mainstream
20:52autism
20:52research
20:53there are
20:53concerns
20:54about the
20:54rise
20:55of
20:55pseudoscientific
20:56practices
20:57Yeah this is
20:59the Geschwind
20:59lab
21:00and this is
21:00where
21:00we study
21:01the molecular
21:02and genetic
21:03basis of
21:03autism
21:04Dr Dan
21:05Geschwind
21:06runs his
21:06namesake
21:07lab
21:07at UCLA
21:08and is
21:09at the
21:10cutting edge
21:10of uncovering
21:11the causes
21:12of autism
21:12in order
21:13to find
21:14treatments
21:14for it
21:15So Dr Geschwind
21:17tell me
21:18what causes
21:19autism
21:19What we know
21:20is that
21:21autism is
21:21about 80%
21:22heritable
21:23and so that
21:24leaves 20%
21:25that's
21:26not heritable
21:27In that
21:2920%
21:29three quarters
21:30of that
21:31is due
21:32to rare
21:33mutations
21:34that occur
21:35in the sperm
21:35or the egg
21:36so around
21:3795%
21:38is
21:39encompassed
21:41by various
21:41genetic forms
21:43Well some
21:44of these
21:44parents
21:44of kids
21:45with autism
21:45say they
21:46had a
21:46healthy
21:47baby
21:47but that
21:48child
21:48regressed
21:48after getting
21:49a vaccine
21:50How do
21:51you respond
21:51to that?
21:52So the
21:52first question
21:53is
21:53is there
21:54an association
21:55between
21:56getting a
21:56vaccine
21:57and the
21:58risk of
21:58autism
21:59and the
22:00answer
22:00has been
22:00that question
22:02has been
22:02asked
22:02dozens of
22:04times
22:04in many
22:05different
22:06study
22:06designs
22:06in many
22:07different
22:08countries
22:08and there
22:09is no
22:09association
22:10it's been
22:11asked and
22:11answered
22:11it's
22:12extremely
22:13clear
22:13Well it's
22:14a big
22:15focus
22:15isn't it
22:15for RFK
22:16junior
22:16hiring
22:17noted
22:18vaccine
22:18skeptic
22:19David
22:19Guyer
22:19to look
22:20into
22:20the cause
22:21of
22:22autism
22:22what do
22:23you make
22:23of that?
22:25Yeah I
22:25don't
22:25understand
22:26it
22:26it really
22:27doesn't
22:27fit with
22:28where
22:28modern
22:29biomedicine
22:30is
22:30it would
22:31make me
22:31much more
22:32comfortable
22:32if
22:33there was
22:34somebody
22:35who
22:36Kennedy
22:37had tapped
22:37who
22:38had a
22:39history
22:39that was
22:40credible
22:41some
22:42parents
22:42are
22:42turning
22:42to
22:43alternative
22:43therapies
22:44to
22:45improve
22:45their
22:46child's
22:46autism
22:47have
22:47you
22:48heard
22:48about
22:49those
22:49sorts
22:49of
22:50therapies
22:50and
22:50what
22:51do
22:51you
22:51think
22:51about
22:51it
22:51yes
22:52I mean
22:52but that's
22:53happened
22:53throughout
22:53history
22:54there are
22:55charlatans
22:55out there
22:56trying to
22:56sell
22:57dangerous
22:57alternative
22:58therapies
22:59or things
22:59that have
23:00some
23:00risk
23:01associated
23:01with
23:02them
23:02like
23:02hyperbaric
23:03oxygen
23:03or worse
23:05chelation
23:06therapy
23:06or other
23:07infusions
23:07it's not
23:09benign
23:09it can
23:10cause
23:10harm
23:10and parents
23:11need to
23:12be aware
23:12of that
23:13the thing
23:15that really
23:15is really
23:16bothering me
23:17now
23:17I look at
23:18the people
23:18in my
23:19laboratory
23:19I think
23:20about all
23:21of the
23:21science
23:21that goes
23:22on here
23:22not just
23:23biomedical
23:24science
23:25stuff in
23:25cancer
23:26and brain
23:26diseases
23:27and stuff
23:27all of that
23:28has been
23:29cut
23:29dramatically
23:30it just
23:32makes me
23:33feel kind
23:33of sad
23:34that the
23:34world has
23:35come to
23:35a place
23:36where
23:37credible
23:38science
23:38is being
23:39disregarded
23:40in the
23:41United States
23:42health
23:42secretary
23:43Robert F
23:43Kennedy
23:44jr.
23:44is attempting
23:45to reframe
23:46autism
23:46as an
23:47epidemic
23:47rather than
23:48natural
23:49neurodiversity
23:50Eileen fears
23:54his approach
23:55will make
23:55life harder
23:56for her son
23:57Charlie
23:58finding
24:04someone
24:05willing
24:05to work
24:06with
24:06Charlie
24:06at the
24:07price
24:08the state
24:09is willing
24:09to pay
24:09which is
24:10$21
24:11right now
24:12is really
24:13difficult
24:13it's only
24:14one person
24:14that's
24:15working
24:16with Charlie
24:16right now
24:17Miss
24:18Katie
24:18and Charlie
24:20absolutely
24:20loves her
24:21you see
24:21Miss
24:22Katie's
24:22card
24:22she's the
24:25person
24:25who comes
24:26to the
24:26house
24:27a few
24:27times
24:27a week
24:28and like
24:29gives us
24:30a break
24:31get in
24:31there
24:31I'm afraid
24:44of losing
24:45services
24:46for Charlie
24:47I mean
24:47there have been
24:48some talks
24:48about
24:49cuts
24:50to
24:50funding
24:51and you know
24:54Charlie relies
24:55on again
24:56that waiver
24:56that
24:57we work
24:58so hard
24:58on
24:59to get
24:59respite
25:00care
25:01without
25:04that
25:05I mean
25:05can't afford
25:07to hire
25:07someone
25:08so
25:08if there
25:09are more
25:09cuts
25:10then
25:11Charlie doesn't
25:12have Miss
25:12Katie
25:12anymore
25:13you know
25:13you're
25:17your health
25:18secretary
25:18Robert F.
25:19Kennedy Jr.
25:20has said
25:20that there's
25:21an autism
25:21epidemic
25:22and he would
25:23like to find
25:24the cause
25:25of autism
25:25in a few
25:26months
25:26how do you
25:27feel about
25:27all of that
25:28I mean
25:28I'm a little
25:29concerned
25:30especially
25:30because I
25:31am a
25:31special needs
25:32teacher
25:32and I work
25:34with life
25:34skill students
25:35so students
25:35like Charlie
25:36in my free
25:37time as well
25:38and it concerns
25:40me for their
25:41future
25:41and the
25:43things that
25:46they will
25:46the resources
25:47that they will
25:47be able to get
25:48when they are
25:48adults
25:49and are
25:49older
25:50I think it's
25:52really difficult
25:53for parents
25:53to accept
25:55that their
25:55child may
25:56be disabled
25:57and not
25:58know why
25:59you know
25:59people want
26:00answers
26:00like I
26:01understand
26:01that
26:01I wish
26:02I had an
26:03answer
26:03but there
26:04is no
26:05cure
26:05for autism
26:06if you
26:08had the
26:09chance
26:09would you
26:10change
26:11Charlie's
26:12autism
26:12if you
26:13could
26:13yes
26:14I would
26:15I think
26:16I would
26:16because
26:16he's
26:18not
26:18happy
26:19I mean
26:20I don't
26:20think
26:20he's
26:20living
26:21his
26:21best
26:21life
26:21not only
26:22that
26:22but
26:22he's
26:23at
26:23risk
26:24of
26:24doing
26:24something
26:24life
26:25threatening
26:25every
26:26second
26:26and I
26:27think
26:27any
26:27parent
26:28who
26:28would
26:28say
26:28well
26:29I
26:29wouldn't
26:30do
26:31it
26:31is
26:31lying
26:32to
26:32themselves
26:32like
26:33who
26:33wouldn't
26:33want
26:33their
26:34child
26:34to be
26:34able
26:34to
26:35keep
26:35themselves
26:35safe
26:36if
26:41Charlie
26:42could
26:42speak

26:58you know
26:59these are
27:00the things
27:00that I
27:01don't have
27:01insight
27:02I don't have
27:04that insight
27:05in his
27:05mind
27:05and
27:06I wish
27:06I wish
27:07I know

27:11favorite
27:12color
27:12it really
27:17got me
27:17well I'm glad
27:23it's resonating
27:25with you
27:25I'm getting
27:30emotional
27:31because
27:31they're things
27:33that I've heard
27:34from my kids
27:35and they are
27:38special
27:39they are
27:40special moments
27:41and I can
27:43see
27:44the love
27:45that you have
27:46for your
27:46beautiful family
27:47and
27:48yeah
27:49I appreciate
27:51that
27:52you know
27:53and I think
27:53once you have
27:53that perspective
27:54you know
27:55and you go
27:55back home
27:56it makes you
27:57appreciate
27:57the little
27:58things that
27:58you might not
27:59have noticed
28:00in your own
28:00children
28:01a little
28:02more
28:02things that
28:04we take
28:04for granted
28:05every day
28:05you know
28:06every parent
28:09wants what's
28:11best for
28:11their children
28:12but those
28:13wants and
28:14needs vary
28:15depending on
28:16where you are
28:17on the spectrum
28:17if I ever
28:19just get a
28:19plushie
28:20sometimes I
28:21put it there
28:21sometimes just
28:22like you know
28:23I'll just
28:23place it
28:24into the
28:24pile
28:24for Noah
28:26what's
28:27most important
28:28is cutting
28:29through the
28:29politics
28:30and the
28:30division
28:31and just
28:32being himself
28:33sure I have
28:34difficulties
28:35here and
28:35there but
28:36I'm like
28:37you know
28:37my own
28:39person
28:40like my own
28:41hobbies
28:42my own
28:43ideals
28:43my own
28:44values
28:45again like
28:47my own
28:47weird little
28:49autism
28:50whatnots
28:51but
28:51it's just
28:53our lives
28:53and
28:54I feel like
28:55people are
28:56trying to
28:56think autism
28:57is like a
28:58monster
28:59has to be
28:59quelled
29:00and like
29:00it's not
29:01it's just
29:01part of us
29:02and if
29:04someone presented
29:04me with a
29:05kirdasa
29:05which you know
29:06can't exist
29:07I still wouldn't
