"As a speech therapist, my heart is exploding watching this. This is why I do what I do. A mother witnessed her daughter say "brother " and "sister" last week during our session for the first time sobbed. Communication is so special and beautiful."

"I still can't believe this happened. Filming this felt like getting his first steps. Seeing him find his voice and confidence is so special. I hope it gives other mamas hope in this journey."

"As someone who was nonspeaking until I was 3-4 as well, I don't know how I'd feel as an autistic adult if my parents filmed and posted all of these moments online. People with autism deserve."
