If I look younger here it's because this video is actually 2 years old and it's just taken us this long to feel comfortable releasing it since this is the internet. So please be kind and please consider sharing and donating :)

It’s enough to make a grown man cry... and that’s ok

Didn't think I could respect you even more than I did.

I have Autism too (and adhd), the way you explained autism is amazing, especially since your not humiliating anyone for the things they CAN'T control Love your content, keep up the wholesome

I am in my teens and have autism and I can say everything you said in this video about the autistm spectrum is true. Over time some people can make their own filter, for example: I can still hear everything else, but the person I'm talking to is the main source of my concentration if I focus and at this point at restaurants I just have to listen to 7 different conversations and had to get used to it over time..... Probably why I always cried near the end of every dinner for YEARS.

This is going to make me, a grown man cry isnt it

I’m proud of you for this! Very informative and genuine, idk what to say but this is easily one of your best videos!

This was a wonderful way of learning and understanding autism. Thank you to the Rober family! As the mother of a disabled son, it's taken me 31 years to realize that my son's superpower has been turning his mom into a better person by teaching her the true meaning of service, love, of compassion, empathy and more! Your son is your gift! But you already know that! ❤

The clip of the father and the son in the manual transmission car had me crying. Never in my life have I had a moment like that with my father. But it still makes me happy to see how wonderful life can be when you truly accept people for who they are.

My 8 year old is also diagnosed with autism. Thank you for making this and raising such sensitive, humanizing awareness.

"His superpower is making people happy" Like father, like son

He’s so sweet and his smile just melts your heart! It was incredible to see your beautiful family. You are so blessed. ❤

I have ADHD, and I recently wanted to start taking psychology. I decided to come back to this video and as a person with a mental disorder as well, and several autistic friends, I can relate to tons of stuff in this video, and it's honestly really touching! i'm glad you were able to come out about this, even though it's been 3 years since this came out.

As an autistic adult with debilitating hyperacusis, I appreciate this.

Hej fra Denmark! Mark, my son and i love love love watching your projects on KZfaq... and we're both on the spectrum. I can't wait to show him this one! We always get so happy when we find more people from our "tribe". Thank you so much for sharing. You're doing an amazing job!

Thanks Mark, from another special needs Dad.

Much respect Mark. My four and three-year-old are both on the spectrum. And Oh so different they are. Thanks for sharing it’s definitely a tough road but it’s the most rewarding for sure

This was really inspiring and definitely was a tear jerker. I relate to this with my son as well. He wanted to make KZfaq videos, so I’ve tried to help him, but the internet is a scary thing. This has given me more courage to continue trying to help him with his dream. Thanks for having the courage to share this!

I was about crying, your son is the best kid ive seen! I love he laughs and THATS SO CUTE! Your son is incredible. Thanks you!❤

I think we can all agree that Mark Rober is such a modest guy and someone everyone would love to be around as well as his son

Mark Rober isn't only known to be an Engineer Inventor KZfaqr. But also a really compassionate father.

It is sad now that if you tell anyone about this in schools and parties stuff like that, they might just laugh at you about it but you a very brave and wholesome for sharing this kind of information

Thank you for sharing! Your son is so adorable! He has already learned one of life’s crucial lessons: How to be happy! His smile is truly a joyful one. :)

"He's on the Autistic Spectrum, and this is the internet." Not sure why, but that hit me directly in the feels.

This is such a wonderful video. My three siblings and I have High Functioning Autism and I really relate to this video. Your son is very precious and priceless. Your family does a wonderful job at helping make the world a better place. Thank you for being so inspiring. It really helps me feel not so alone.

My son has autism and he is graduating from high school this year. Thank you so much for doing this.

You could tell he was tearing up a bit at the end, and same with me...

Reusing the same dad jokes over and over again still getting laughter would make me the happiest man in the whole world

Don’t say your son can’t achieve success like phd or something like that, I fully believe in him that he can achieve anything, wish him the best.

This video is super vulnerable and beautiful, I can tell your son's laugh is contagious and that you guys are great parents. My respects goes to you!

Great video!!. As a parent with 2 boys on the spectrum I thank you and your wife. This is very challenging and people who have no idea really have no idea. I hope this video speaks to those people. TY Ty ty ty!!

The fact that Mark is so scared to put his family on the internet really reflects poorly on us as people. While I can’t afford to donate, I want to thank Mark for taking the time to Share this cause with us.

"He loves to laugh until he can't breathe" His laughter made my month. Thank you.

Unbelievable how much I identified with this video of yours. Lots of valuable information, super informative and with a cool theme. Being able to show us how important we are to each other.

Until now I find out 3 years later I regret missing this video when you uploaded it I hope you are the happiest with your son and we love you very much you will achieve the best things

"His superpower is making other people happy." He sounds a lot like his dad.

Mark is a cool Uncle, but more importantly, he is an amazing Dad. His parents raised him well.

Omg at 7:05 I was actually crying so hard 😭😭😭 it’s so beautiful seeing how much one tiny thing can brighten someone’s day😊 it’s so wholesome

Great video reminding us to look for the positives in all our lives - just saw you live at FIRST robotics in Houston - you are an inspiration to kids to love science and your son is lucky to have such a loving dad supporting him.

I scrolled down for a solid 3 minutes and didn’t see one hate comment lmao this community is so amazing

I feel like the reason we all love this guy is because he never clickbaits, and he never brags about how smart he is.

i’m very proud of u mark for the kind of father that u are and for the kind of amazing son that u have ….. u both are a true example of a father and son relationship….you both are truly amazing ❤

You guys are great. I cannot help but express my deep joy that you exist in this world. I understand that your path is not always easy. I am a single father myself. When my son and I were alone, I was 20, and it was extremely difficult. There were days when I had to give up food just to feed my son. Every time I looked at his smile, I felt that I was ready to endure any difficulties for his sake, to become stronger and better. Today I work as a programmer, and everything was going very well for us. I wish your son and all the children of this world will and happiness. After your video, I realized that I wanted to share these feelings of gratitude and admiration. Thank you for your work and inspiration

I can attest to the awesome drawings, as I'm a proud owner of one myself.

Not only is the son awesome, but Mark is so brave for facing his fear of the awful people who would try to bully his son and himself.

This video gives me goosebumps i literally start loving his kid hes innocent sweet soul

OMG ! My neighbour's son is just like yours. He has autism and he can remember dates and can tell the day of any date you specify! Remarkable.

It's extremely heartwarming to realize that Mark has enough faith in the community that he built to share something so sensitive.

Fun fact: His son went to my elementary and middle school. And mark also hosted and assembly and showed us some cool experiments

I go back and watch this from time to time, it's heartwarming to watch, I might not have an autistic son or daughter, but I do have an autistic boyfriend, and I never smile quite as much as I do when I'm around him

You are an Amazing Father , Such a beautiful relationship with your son!

My autistic stepson is 22 and is 130 miles into his hike along the Appalachian Trail alone. This has been the thing that drives him every day. He’s trained for this every day and right now is out there living his best life. I’m so incredibly proud of him.

All this time, who would have guessed Mark's pursuit to be the best uncle is because he is already the best dad.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! So beautiful!!! This should be mandatory viewing for all humans. I signed in just to like this video. I never sign in. Well done, well said, beautiful. Blessings to you and your son and family!

Amazing video you got me crying tears of joy at the end there. Love the videos hope your family’s doing great.

I'm autistic. Mark, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. You're showing people that we're just as human as others. You don't know how much it means to me.

You and your wife are such beautiful people, and your son is so blessed to have you both … and you are also blessed to have that lovely boy ❤️ much love 💕 and wow how young you look in this video!!!

My brother is on the autism spectrum and this really helped to make that noticed. Thanks Mark.❤

*I feel like Mark is very high up on a kindness spectrum.* And so is his son.

being diagnosed with aspergers syndrome, this video means a lot to see appreciation for your son and other special needs kids. thank you 🙏🏻

Remarkable video that moved me to tears. Thank you for sharing your story.

Someone needs to give this man a medal. He’s broken so many world records, worked for nasa, has his own KZfaq channel, juggling all his personal life and on top of all of that if anyone can be the best dad in the world to a special needs kid, it’s him.

This is the type of video that actually deserves to be #1 on trending

This is truth! What a beautiful video from a loving father. My neighbor, Jimmy, is on the spectrum. His honest love for others, his joyful personality, his trusting nature, and his absolute lack of any selfishness are just some of the many reasons our community loves him. He's a very bright light!

Mark is an absolute specimen of a human being. Brilliant scientist, charismatic man, awesome dad, great humanitarian. I salute you.

In only 45 minutes the fundraiser has made over 60k. This makes me proud of the humanity.

my little brother also has autism and he's really smart in his own ways we just need to find them and i wil always be there to help him with everything i can

Glad to have viewed this, albeit sometime after you posted it. You’re a great dad and inspirational host!

As a father, this helps me. I’m not embarrassed, but I don’t know how to explain it to people. My boys make me proud everyday

As an autistic 14 year old who sometimes doesn't know how to explain to people (even my own dad) how autism effects me and my life and makes life hard sometimes I can deeply appreciate this video.

My cousin is autistic so this really connects to me because he’s like a brother to me

Your son brings such positivity, i wish your family the best!

I’m autistic and when you said “when he’s comfortable he becomes himself” I feel that on such a high level

as a autistic 17 year old i didn't really know about most of this especially the sould thing i just tought it was how everyone is. I have been diagnosed for a few years and its hard sometimes. Thank you for reading this if anyone does.

He seems like such a nice kid! I have ADHD and I know a few autistic people. Most autistic people are incredibly kind and caring. I wish you and your family the best!

This is absolutely beautiful. I love the way mark loves his son and also his son is amazing he is super cool and sweet :)

Mark, I want to say THANK YOU! I'm a 7th grade English teacher, and I also have a daughter with ASD. I have actually been trying for YEARS to convince people in our lives (family included) to get her AAC to help her with communication, and seeing your video has pushed people in our lives to agree - you rock! I can't imagine how scary it must be to have this video on the internet, but you have already changed the life of at least one little Mark Rober fan - Lou, my daughter - and I know your vulnerability will make a huge difference to so many others! Lou (short for Louise) is 7, LOVES your videos, and also loves to blow out birthday candles like your son! We spend HOURS on her birthday blowing out candles over and over. She's a cuddler, and her super power is knowing when people need extra snuggles and squeezes, and giving people snuggles to know they're loved! I wish there were a million ways I could say thank you for your vulnerability, because it is DEFINITELY making a difference already!

Who else appreciates the fact that Mark puts so much effort into his content?

Mark, that was a beautiful video. Thanks very much for posting.

Just saw this video! Thanks for making it....very helpful for me to understand my grandson who is similar

As someone who’s on the spectrum, I’ve never seen anyone describe how hard it is to pay attention to a conversation in public so well. Amazing work!

As someone with autism, i just want to thank you. Autism can be a real bump in the road. I have been diagnosed a few years ago and it’s still hard to accept it sometimes. My life can be a real mess sometimes but i also look at the positive side of things. It’s a nice gesture of you to bring awareness and even raising money for autism. You Mark, just made mine and everyone's day. Thank you so much.

hola soy de venezuela tengo un hijo de 8 años y esta en el espectro autista y estoy muy orgulloso de el, es impresionante lo inteligentes que son somos seguidores asiduos de tu canal 😀😀😀

I have worked with “gifted” children in undeveloped countries many times. Thank you for starting to bring awareness to this topic.

I know Mark would never admit it but I'm pretty sure he encapsulates the perfect human being...

I love how his voice breaks at the end just because he is so proud of his son. Pure love.

youre honestly very brave telling your story! keep paying it forward🖤

돈많은 유튜버라고만 생각했는데 아들편보니 가슴이 먹먹해지는군요....로버씨의 선한 능력과 철학을 다시 생각하게 하네요..... 그나마 더빙판만 보고 있는데 다른것도 잘 보겠습니다... 응원합니다.~

Someone give this man father of the year award, the bond he has with his son is truly one of a kind.

Mark, I know you likely won't see this but, THANK YOU. As a father of a son with autism, I appreciate this more than you could know. Thank you for posting this and sharing your son with us and for the wonderful message. I am very excited for this event, better believe I will be watching! Thank you again.

You're son seems like a pretty nice guy,I bet he'll have the best childhood with you as his father.

This is a really inspiring and motivating video for people who has speacial characteristics.

The fact that the actual charity livestream is in 2 weeks and already $350k are raised... love this community

He is literally the son of one of the most respected men on the internet, I don't know who would make fun of him

Thank you Mark for sharing your family's story! I know that being blessed with and getting to parent a special needs child can be very challenging but watching them grow and thrive makes it all so worth it. Our children are truly blessings from our Creator!!!!!

Absolutely the best explanation of how an autistic child sees the world around them! Thank you so much for sharing...🥰

The fact that it took Mark 2 years to make the decision of uploading this, just shows how much he cares about him.

Thanks for making this Mark, my brother has autism and severe learning disabilities. I know just what you mean about wanting to keep family private esp with an Internet profile like yours, but I'm starting to learn that sharing my experiences can be useful for others. This took a lot of bravery and I'm sure will not only raise money for a great cause but educate a lot of people. It was lovely seeing you with your boy.

You make me cry Mark and you also made me realize that the life is beautiful. Thank you ❤

w i hope the both of u are having a nice day or night i.came back 2 years later to rewatch this :)
