To us, these children are more than a number. They are our world.
They are the reason for everything we do. The research. The healing. The REVOLUTION.
In their simple messages, volumes are spoken.
We’re here. We’re listening. We’re fighting.
breaks my heart….
Love the video, Love this site so glad I found it.
Only just now found this site. Touching video. Are these kids all vaccine injured?
See “Fighting for autistic children: The endless battles” for an inside look at what happens when non-verbal autistic patients get staph in hospital settings. And why being a warrior mom or dad is critical in protecting these children.
Just a beautiful, moving, and true video! Count me in as another warrior-mom in the revolution!
Thank you for producing this very important and moving message communicated by beautiful children.
I want to join you. We need the world to know our children are ill and need medical treatment paired with rehabilitation. This video says it all for those whose might not be able to speak for themselves.
Also here are links to an article I wrote with updated statistics and facts. http://www.picktainment.com/blog/2012/04/autism-the-real-story-needs-to-be-told/
http://www.autismspectrumgps.com/
We want the real story and the truth about Autism told and this website has a video that does it brillantly. It is long past time to retire the antiquated belief that Autism is solely a psychiatric and developmental disorder. The truth about Autism is that it is a complex medical condition caused (in most part) by an immune system that is not working properly. Autism is, in fact, treatable. No parent should ever accept that their child cannot be helped. We need doctors on every corner in every country who know how to treat this disease.
My son is living proof that children can get better. He was given a life sentence filled with no hope of parole when he was only four years old. The psychiatrist, a leading authority on autism, said Ryan would most likely end up in an institution. She was wrong. The only institution Ryan ever “ended up in” was the university that awarded him an academic scholarship. He graduated magna cum laude.
After proper medical treatment and rehabilitation, Ryan does all the things “experts” said would never happen. He is a member of the Engineering Honor Society. He joined Sigma Chi Fraternity and was elected president of the Jewish Student Association. NASA picked up most of the tab for his master’s and awarded him a paid summer internship. Here it a link to his presentation where he was chosen out of hundreds to go on their website: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-10o3frU1A
But more important than all his academic accomplishments, Ryan was just your typical college student. He drank an occasional beer, went on dates, stayed out too late with friends, and then slept through eight o’clock classes. I couldn’t be more proud.
Unbelievable as it may seem, this is the same child who wanted to spend all day plugging a portable radio into every outlet in the house. There were mornings I didn’t want to get out of bed only to face another day filled with autism. But, at the end of the day, I was faced with a choice; let Ryan drift off forever into his own world, or drag him kicking and screaming into ours. This wasn’t an easy fix or an instant cure. It took years for him to learn everything he missed when he was so sick. As moms we’re mad as hell and aren’t going to take it anymore. All of us need to be the voice of those who can’t speak for themselves.
Thank you,
Marcia Hinds
These children are the future. They have a voice…..even if they can’t speak. We will continue to fight for them, until they are well enough to fight for themselves. We will beat autism. We will prevail. We have started the revolution….and we will never stop fighting. I am so proud of all the Thinking Moms out there. <3
Showed the video to my HS students followed by the question “What will you do to help a special needs/autistic child?” After they stopped crying and after an awsome discussion here are just a few of the things they vowed to do:
volunteer at a hosp peds unit
volunteer at a special needs preschool
invite a fellow student to eat lunch with them
not laugh if someone asks a silly question
be more understanding
stick up for a child being teased
Thanks for making a difference! =)
That is a great start. This generation of children will need strong teachers and advocates to fight for them. Thank you for showing it to your students.
Really! I wish they’d do that at my school!(though I’m only in middle school) Children seriously need to be educated on this topic. It effects them to, even if they don’t know it.
This is so powerful. Bawling.. Thank you tmr!!!!!! Now i have to go collect myself!!
This video gave me goosebumps and tears. Amazing!…
moved…to….tears…..

Very powerful. Poignant. Broke my heart to watch but so very proud of everyone involved. Thank you!
I have goose bumps and tears. That was amazing!!! Thank you all for what you do. xo
I finally got to watch this video. So. Very. Powerful. I think Little E’s sign would have to read: I want my childhood back.

Beautiful video! Ofc tears but it is important to share. Great job!
Incredibly powerful and moving! I want each of these children’s dreams – and my child’s as well – to come true. Each of them deserves their dreams and so much more… Thank you Thinking Moms!
Awesome, just awesome!
Definitely left me in tears….
<3 Your battles may be different, but you know what it is like to care for a sick child and face the frustration from the medical community. You too are a THINKING MOM!!!!
Nicely done, ladies and children. Very nicely done!
Wonderful video! So very powerful…you can feel all of our strength in this video…the strength of our children! Awesome! : )
The 1 in 88 doesn’t include my child, in fact it doesn’t include any child diagnosed after 2009
NEVER doubt that a small group of THOUGHTFUL, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
I love each of these kids as if they were my own. I cry every time I see this video – today out of frustration that the “powers that be” could not give one crap about this crisis we are dealing with daily – unless it were to mess with their bottom line.
But most of the other times, I cry that “love cry” – the one where you see the beauty of the child, you understand the significance of where they are standing in the picture or why they are holding their specific sign. I cry because I see their mom’s face/determination/smile ~ and I love her so much. But mostly I’ve cried with pride over how strong, brave and undaunted these kids are ~ everyday.
I love you <3
Perfectly said my dear friend, perfectly said <3
Tears in my eyes, thanks for all you are doing…
Beautiful children!!! Thank you thinking moms for all that you do for the children and the moms too!
I cried while watching these beautiful children with their strong messages of hope, truth and love. Keep up the fight thinking Moms. All children are beautiful and worth it all.
Very moving! Grateful to you for all you do!
SOOOOO POWERFUL…………..TEARS!!! Thank you for all that you do!!
Wow. *wipes tears*
Powerful message…that the world needs to receive.
Now. I am one of u. THANK YOU!
This video is incredible, it explains autism and really shows what our kids must be feeling. I fight everyday to help my son, its heartwrenching. Thank you for this video.
Chills over and over throughout this powerful video…I am so proud to be mom to one of you thinking mom and grandmom to one of the precious children in this video…you RAWK moms!!!
It’s all about Pharma companies, Insurance companies, News Media and Politicians. In 2000, Autism was 1 in 149 children. Mostly boys – about 75%. In 2010 – 1 in 81; 2020 projection is 1 in 56 and 2028 projection is 1 in 41. This is an epidemic on a greater level than Aids or Polio. Yet where are the News Media, the Politicians or even the Pastors? They are afraid of the Pharma companies and their money. See the table below. How long before we reach 1 in 2? Think. THINK. THINK!!!!

so true , my daughter was dx in 2000 , she was 4 , I refused to medicate her ! Now at 18, she will graduate HS on time and enter college in the fall. I am so glad I took this path , these kids are not lab rats. I speak to some parnets who have their kids on such complicated medicine cocktails and they wonder why they arent able to function.
Clearing my tears so much pain so much misery and yet so much HOPE. Thanks moms
Started to watch this before I took the boy to school. I had to stop because my tears always send him into a spin. So moving and so beautiful. You are all making a difference.
<3 Love these children! Love all of our children <3
Crying too! All these children may be on different waves of the spectrum but their eyes say the same thing my son’s eyes say to me everyday…”I’m in here, come get me! ” I’ll never stop trying Baby, never.
INCREDIBLE!!! Such a powerful video. Each one of those signs… I could see my own son holding. Thank you for being a voice not only to our children, but also to the families in this fight! God bless you all!
Amazing…God Bless!
VERY powerful. Thank you so much for what you are doing. For all of us. I hope that the world starts listening – and acting- too.
It is wonderful to meet your beautiful children…..from a “1 in 10,000” thinking Mom, back when wen had to Google the word Autism to know what it meant, I salute you! Wendy Frye
