In this personal vlog, a father shares his day‑to‑day life with his non‑verbal son who is on the autism spectrum. He describes how his son communicates his desire to visit places like Disneyland and Universal Studios by pointing to images on his phone, and how the boy fills their home with magazine cut‑outs and drawings that the father even sleeps among. The father explains the emotional and logistical challenges of meltdowns, social anxiety, and the need to protect his child from rude comments, while also expressing a deep motivation to provide everything his son asks for. He offers heartfelt advice to other parents: maintain faith, practice patience, seek out resources, and create a loving, comfortable environment. The monologue blends reflections on his own motivations, gratitude for his son, and a call to prioritize love and support over purely financial or business concerns.

Huh, where you find them hot fries, buddy? Huh? Okay, it's okay. Don't rub it on me. That's my boy. So how you feeling today? So like, you're in a good space? I'm in a good space. My son who's on the spectrum. He insists on putting all these things, his little drawings and pictures that he tear out of magazines, you name it, on the walls. I actually spend a lot of time in there. I actually sleep in here. I sleep in this room. Oh, he covered a part of his name. I got to get that down. All right, it's always good to reflect on that. Mickey Mouse. You know, he wants to go to Disneyland daily. He wakes up every morning and want to go to Disneyland. And the way he communicates with us is with his phone. He goes to the phone and, uh, he search it on Google or YouTube and He points to it and shows us and says, "Mmm, I want to go here." Well, he doesn't usually— he's non-verbal, but he doesn't say that, but we get it. I want to go to this place. It's the happiest place on earth, as they call it, Disneyland. He likes Universal Studios as well, but Disneyland is like right now top-notch. You know, they opened up a new Mario Brothers feature there. So he has all of this Mario Brothers stuff as well. Um, so, you know, I'm highly motivated to be successful in life for him, for him especially. I want to be able to give him the world. I want to be able to give him whatever he asked for. Being on the spectrum, it presents quite of a challenge to a parent. You know, I'm a father with a child on the spectrum, and I'm sure it's a lot of the dads out there that have these experiences, the meltdowns and the outbursts, etc. Uh, yeah, do you often like, I don't even want to go outside, I don't want to go outside because I don't want people to say something rude, and I have to get on they behinds behind it. So, uh, but we just have to take that chance. We have to go out there. We have to challenge the world to see the superpower of our kids, you know. Um, but at the end of the day, you know, I'm still hopeful, and I'm, I'm grateful, um, to have someone like him in my life. Beautiful boy. And you know, it can be tough. It can be tough. My wife would definitely express that. But I want you know, to all parents to know this: when it gets hard You have to have faith. When it gets hard, you have to have faith. You have to believe, and you have to understand that this kid is still a child of God that you have to love and cherish no matter what. You have to develop a level of tolerance and patience for him or her, and Don't give up. Just keep, you know, going after the resources for your child. Continue to do the things you need to do to keep that child happy and in a blessed and pleasant place. Keep your environment a place that he or she loves and feel comfortable and comfort because it's going to be tough. What are you doing to make sure he or she gets the best, right? So that's just a thought I had today. This is not my normal YouTube conversation, but I just wanted to share that because we think it's all about just the stuff of stocks and investing in business and organizations coaching. It's also about thinking and reflecting on those whom we love that's in our immediate surroundings and give them some love and shout out to them. So there you go, he needs me.
