Well Done Ricky On This Documentary I Have Known Dennis When I Was Just A 17yr Old. To See Him In This Documentary As A Loving Dad Family Man Was Touching He Has Put All His Energy And Love Into His Kids With His Wife. Dennis And His Wife Are An Inspiration We Need Everyone To Know About Autism And This Will Have Each Of Us Parents Know That Its Not Easy But Some Families Are Doing The Very Best To Get Through And Not Take Our Children For Granted. God Bless Xx

So Nice To See A Dad Open Up About There Journey With Autism... I Have 5 Children With Asd And Other Things And There All Now High Functioning... My Now 14 Year Old Was Completely Non Verbal Until She 7 ... Then Words Then Words Started To Come Out Not In The Right Context At First ... We Did Sign Language And Used Visuals And A Visual Diary Of Every Day And Told Her Always What Was Happening... I Never Gave Up Either... She Went From Aspect School In Newcastle To Supported School In Mainstream And Now We Are Homeschooling ... But She Is An Amazing Kid As All My Children Are... Your Doing A Wonderful Job You Will See More And More Succes I Just Know It

Thank You For The Beautiful Story. It Captured The Raw Emotion Love And Devotion That A Parent Feels For Their Child. Autism Doesn't In Anyway Diminish That Love It Only Makes It Stronger More Determined And Resilient. Men And Women's Journey With Autism Can Be Very Different. It Is Great To See It From A Man's Perspective.

A Fathers Journey Is Difficult We Have To Show A Different Face Of Strength And Confidence When Internally We Have A Mix Of Emotions That We Can't Always Share
