Yes, you will cry. It is just lovely and the kids are so wonderful, each one of them.

Thank you SO much for posting that link! Of course, I cried many times throughout.

I'm going to see if my son will watch it. I want him to see that he can be an actor and be on stage if he wishes (he claims he wants to be an actor).

I'm also going to give the link to his teachers, doctors, and my family.
(Not sure if my family will actually watch it or care, but I can try)

I'm watching it now, and most of it so far is really awesome. I love how the parents accept their kids for who they are. I just saw one part, though, that made me bristle. They were showing Adam and how he likes girls, and his helper at school said how they all liked him, too. Then she said something along the lines of, "Too bad he's autistic. There would be so much potential there." Ugh. I'm not going to let one person get me down, though. I'm going to watch the rest. So far, I identify a lot with Henry (the boy with Asperger's) and Lexi's an awesome singer.

OMGosh, I was so pissed at his helper when I saw that part. I mean, WTF? Lexi's mom kinda pissed me off a couple times too though.

Overall is was a great video and I hope it gets lots of playtime. I saw my DS in a lot of those kids.
