I myself was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome when I was in the pre-teens in the mid/late 90's when it wasn't well known so it made self-acceptance and coming to terms with it more difficult. Due to my problems I also found it awkward to be in crowded places, and there were times I just preferred being alone than being with people. I started working as a Support Worker in late 2017 and most of the people who I've helped support are on the Autistic spectrum. One of the plus-sides about my disability is that I'm able to use my own experiences to help the people I support and I can communicate and empathise with them on those sort of levels.

In my class of 20, there are 5 with speech IEPs. Several other children need some sort of diagnosis, but it is hard to get them the services they need for needs like autism or ODD, etc., because we don't have the support. The mental health and disabilities people start with the most severe. In the classroom, we try to do the one-on-one as much as we can, but I feel like a third person in the room would have to happen for us to be really successful, because there is that notion of putting out fires and then dealing with the more easygoing children after that.

Vince, was diagnosed myself at age 35. figured it out because my friend's son has aspergers. had struggled so much for so long without really knowing what was up. upon going online and reading up, was all "that's IT!". not much changed, yet everything changed. was quite happy to learn about it cos it solved a whole lot of mystery for me. it's less about acceptance, more about learning the best ways to take care of yourself, and generally work things to be more successful.

Vince Lowry I thought that Asperbergers took away emotion?

@@joncampos5551 No, emotion is intensely intact. If that was the case eye contact would be no problem, since it wouldn't be as disruptive internally. Reading, and expressing emotion's correctly is what's "taken away". People inherently have a harder time distinguishing the correct intentions of those on the Autistic spectrum because of it, which can have a lot of serious some times fatal consequences. It's a deficiency in the ability to correctly read micro-expressions, and output matching internal emotional micro-expressions that generally causes the breakdown in communication. It requires a significant amount of cognitive effort to make up for it in social situations, which leads to mental exhaustion. Without supports individuals will eventually regress, burnout, and isolate as a way of self preservation. Not something I would ever wish on anyone, even my worst enemy.

What a fantastic Mum! Josh you are awesome, I loved what you said about " listening" rather than talking to the horses ( When you commented that people say your a horse whisperer ) Animals are so connected with that realm of what you referred to as "spiritual" & I myself prefer the company of animals because there is not that expectation simply acceptance. More people need to give the Autistic community a chance to show how valuable and how much they have to offer! We matter, we exist & we deserve to succeed in our strengths! Thank you for sharing your life & your experience with the world Josh!!!

That is the perfect job for him, with his calm nature it benefits him and the horse.

Such beautiful scenery, music, and horses! I was late diagnosed at 51 and have always struggled. Animals are easier for me to relate to also, but I did become a rehab therapist and caregiver ❤ I still don't have the support I need but hoping people are willing to become friends and supports so everyone feels like they belong and are appreciated for their unique gifts

A wonderful testament to courage and determination! Warm regards and best wishes from Oregon, USA.

Thanks for watching diane9247, hope you enjoyed!

I had tears in my eyes throughout this whole video. Tears of joy. What a wonderful person you are Josh. I have loved animals all my life and to see him bond and work with these horses is amazing. My adopted son who is also my great nephew was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and ADD. He will be 17 in 5 days and struggles with accepting his diagnosis. I try to encourage him to watch videos like these so he can see that it is just a label but he can do and be whatever God intended him to be. He will have his struggles, as we all do in some way or another, but push on and never let someone else define what you are capable of. God bless his mother also for loving her children through it all.

Beautiful, exquisite! I love this life story! Thankyou for giving this young lad a chance. He clearly has a way with horses and horses with him.

amazing mother 👏🏼 & Pete for giving him a chance

Very inspiring person and touching to see how he found meaning and fulfilment being Asperger.

Definitely one of the best stories i have heard of late, Josh you are a blessing to your Parents and vise versa God bless you all

Amazing. I'm so impressed with how far you've come and how wonderful Josh is with horses. Very impressive. Great job.

I love this, what a great little documentary on this young man, the horseman farms, as well as the Social worker who had the insight and wherewithal and persistance to get him working with these horse, its all a perfect example of the what can happen when humans work together, I applaud everyone in this film, I know that their are probably still challenges that we did not see, but WOW, if this is the result than whatever challenges their might be can never out weight the goodness, thank you for sharing this story. I am truly in awe.

What a delightful young man and it’s wonderful to think you gave him the chance to see what he can do you’ve given him so much joy he obviously loves what he does and of course you’ve made a wonderful friend

What a great guy...he is so good with the horses! Hope he continues to do well and has a happy/successful future. Mom seems like a wonderful person. Bless them all🙏

Such a beautiful mother.

You blessed us with a beautiful video of a wonderful family, with or without disabilities. The mother is the most caring of moms. Thank you again I really enjoyed this

His relationship with horses is amazing . The connection is awesome. And his mom is the best! Thank you Pete for giving Josh this wonderful opportunity!❤️❤️❤️

Those eyes, how beautiful.......what a lovely story, God Bless him and his family...and the horses x
